The difference between an inventor and an entrepreneur is that, an inventor develops new services and goods but he does not have them to the market. An entrepreneur risks resources may it be human, capital or natural in order to bring to the market improved and new products.

The risk which is incurred between entrepreneur and inventor is that, entrepreneur undergoes huge financial risks because a lot of money is being invested while inventor has low financial risk since there is no big investment which is being required.

Ahat [919]

Answer:

The company's net operating income for May is $7,930

The Porch Cushion Company manufactures foam cushions. The number of cushions to be produced in the upcoming three months follows

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer: 25,200 pounds

Explanation:

Your question is incomplete as it lacked the first part. I attached a completion that I found.

The company has a policy that the ending inventory of foam each month must be equal to 30% of the following month's expected production needs.

This means that in August, the Opening inventory will be 30% of what was is needed in August and the Closing Inventory will be 30% of what is needed in September.

Remember that each cushion requires 2 pounds of foam as stuffing.

Pounds required in August

= 12,000 cushions * 2

= 24,000 pounds

Opening Stock

= 30% * (12,000 * 2)

= 7,200 pounds

Closing stock

= 30% * ( 14,000 * 2)

= 8,400 pounds.

Foam needed to be purchased in August = Pounds required tonbe produced + Closing Stock - Opening Stock

= 24,000 + 8,400 - 7,200

= 25,200

25,200 pounds of foam are what The Porch Cushion Company needs to purchase in August.
