Option F, Air

Explanation:

The value to weight of an item is an indicator of the financial value per kilogram or kilo of an item. It is an important step for the development and strategy of the distribution chain.

If it is decided whether the cost savings in total inventory holding costs should be compared with savings on cost by means of cheaper transportation when shipments are made by sea, taking longer, than by air, usually the shorter one.

The diamonds and coal are a different example of the weight ratio. They are two types of carbon but they are of very different weight ratios. For diamonds, air and private jet charter can be well justified, depending on the size and value of the shipment.

Nitella [24]

Answer:

the numbers are missing, so I looked for a similar question:

Purchases Sales Units Unit Cost Units Selling Price/Unit

3/1 Beginning inventory 100 $40

3/3 Purchase 60 $50

3/4 Sales 60 $80

3/10 Purchase 200 $55

3/16 Sales 70 $90

3/19 Sales 90 $90

3/25 Sales 60 $90

3/30 Purchase 40 $60

the requirements are:

calculate COGS and ending inventory under FIFO, LIFO and weighted average.

since this company uses the periodic inventory level we must first determine the total cost of goods available for sale:

3/1 Beginning inventory 100 $40

3/3 Purchase 60 $50

3/10 Purchase 200 $55

3/30 Purchase 40 $60

total goods available for sale = 400 units, at a total cost of $20,400

total units sold = 60 + 70 + 90 + 60 = 280 units

ending inventory  = 120 units

under FIFO:

ending inventory = (40 x $60) + (80 x $55) = $6,800

COGS = $20,400 - $6,800 = $13,600

under LIFO:

ending inventory = (100 x $40) + (20 x $50) = $5,000

COGS = $20,400 - $5,000 = $15,400

under weighted average:

ending inventory = ($20,400 / 400) x 120 = $6,120

COGS = $20,400 - $6,120 = $14,280
