Answer:

a. The supplier has more bargaining power than the firm.

Explanation:

This is an example of one of Porters' five forces. The supplier has a monopoly and thus entertains a high market share. This means that the supplier has more bargaining power than the firm as if the firm wants the ceramic there are no alternative options available for the firm; however, if the firm does not want supplies, the supplier can find plenty of firms that may need the ceramic thus making supplier more powerful than the firm.

Hope that helps.

Wellington Company reported net income of $60,000 in 2017 and $80,000 in 2018. However, ending inventory was overstated by $7,00
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

2017 Net Income = $53000

2018 Net Income = $87000

Explanation:

The overstatement of ending/closing inventory causes the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) to be understated and the Gross and Net profit to be overstated by the same amount.

If the 2017 ending inventory was iverstated by $7000, the correct profit figure for 2017 will be $7000 less than is reported.

2017 correct Net Income = 60000 - 7000 = $53000

An overstatment of ending inventory in one year also means and overstatement of opening inventory of the next year. Thus, the 2018 opening inventory is overstated by $8000 and an overstatement of opening inventory means an overstatement of COGS and an understatement of Gross and Net Income by the same amount.

Thus, the correct Net Income for 2018 = 80000 + 7000 = $87000

dsp73

Answer:

4,444.44 units

Explanation:

For the computation of Number of units to be sold to earn target profit first we need to follow some steps which are shown below:-

Selling price per unit = Sales ÷ Number of units sold

= $300,000 ÷ 5,000

= $60

Variable cost per unit = Total variable cost ÷ Number of units sold

= $180,000 ÷ 5,000

= $36

Increase in selling price = $60 × 5%

= $3

New selling price per unit = $60 + $3

= $63

New contribution margin per unit = New selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit

= $63 - $36

= $27

Number of units to be sold to earn target profit = (Fixed cost + Target profit) ÷ Contribution margin per unit

= ($90,000 + $30,000) ÷ $27

= $120,000 ÷ $27

= 4,444.44 units
