gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

c) $9,000,000

Explanation:

The cost of good sold = Cost per unit × Quantity sold

Quantity sold = 300,000, cost per unit = $30

The cost of sold = $30 × 300,000 = $9,000,000

This can be confirmed as follows:

Unit

opening inventory 80,000

Production(see note below) 340,000

Available or sale 420,000

Closing inventory (120,000)

Units sold 300,000

Cost of units sold = 300,000 × $30 = $9,000,000

Note :

Production budget = sales budget + closing inventory - opening inventory

= 300,000 + 120,000 - 80,000 = 340,000 units

The consumer price index (CPI) can be used to measure inflation. There are potential problems with this process though that can

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

a. Overstates Inflation.

In the case of Mary and Bob, the CPI would have already increased but in this case the price of the minivan increased as well. This will overstate inflation because it will not measure the general rise in price alone (inflation), it will also measure the rise in price as a result of the new minivan having better features.

b. Understated Inflation

Donna's case represents an understated inflation because the quantity shrank yet the price stayed the same. This means that the price is now buying less quantity than it used to which is inflation because more dollars are now required to buy the previous amount. This was not however recorded as there was no change in price.

c. Overstates Inflation

In the case of Zach, the inflation will be overstated because Zach is no longer buying bagels and is now buying muffins so continuing to use bagels as a representative good in the basket of goods used to calculate CPI would be overstating it.

d. Accurate representation of Inflation

In Chris's case, the increase in the price of the same shoe over the years has been because of a general rise in prices and not because it is a different model. It is the same shoe and its price is rising generally so this is an accurate depiction of inflation.

Answer:

Letter e is correct. Extends beyond ethics to include community, environment, and human rights

Explanation:

Corporate social responsibility refers to the voluntary commitment that companies have to make a contribution to the development of the society in which it operates, in addition to reducing its environmental impacts and ensuring the preservation of human rights. This is when the company implements beneficial actions that exceed those required by law.

In a globalized world, there is legal pressure from consumers, institutions, NGOs and the media to make companies not only profitable but also voluntary contributors to building a more egalitarian society.

The benefits added to companies that practice corporate social responsibility are diverse, with emphasis on improving community value and improving stakeholder satisfaction and perception.
