Answer:

A. Ill-conceived goals

Explanation:

Ill-conceived goals refers to the unethical behavior of setting goals or incentive in an attempt to promote a desirable outcome or behavior, while a negative or undesirable behavior is encouraged. It is like, “robbing Peter to pay Paul”.

The case of Pascal can be said to be an example of ill-conceived goals. Pascal sets a go of handling 12 calls per hour, which seem to serve as a good motivator of being productive, however, to meet his goal, he is also encouraging the undesirable behavior of not attending to customers with complex issues as he ought to have handled them.

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

a. The value of ending Inventory using FIFO is $2749.

b. The value of ending Inventory using LIFO is $2667.

c. The value of ending Inventory using Average Cost method is $2713.


We have:

Date     Explanation       Units      unit cost   Total Cost


Sep-01         inv                 11              97                1067


Sep-12 purchases        44               100              4400


Sep-19 purchases         47               101              4747


Sep-26 purchases         22               102              2244


Total                                 124                                  12458


Novak sold 97 snowboards, so the number of snowboards with it at the end of September is 124 -97 = 27 units.

If Novak adopts First In First Out (FIFO) method, and 27 units are remaining, all 22 units purchased on Sept-26th and 27 -22 = 5 units from the purchases made on Sept-19th will remain in inventory.

So the value of inventory using FIFO will be (22* 102) + (5*101) = 2749

If Novak adopts Last In First Out (LIFO) method, all 11 units in inventory on  Sept-01st and 27 -11 = 16 units from the purchases made on Sept-12th will remain in inventory.

Hence inventory value using LIFO will be (11* 97) + (16*100) = 2667

We calculate the Average cost by dividing the Total Cost by total number of units purchased.

Average Cost = \frac{12458}{124} = 100.468

The value of inventory using the average cost method is 100.648 * 27 =2713.
