Answer:
1. I feel like Pat's new strategy isn't ethical. Pat doesn't pay for the suits; he just buys them and then returns them. Pat benefits, but the store he gets the suits from doesn't. In fact, they are harmed from this transaction because they are unable to have the suit for others to buy while Pat has it. There could be consequences with this strategy. For example, the suit might be damaged, and Pat won't be able to return it. Another problem is that others might find out about Pat's strategy, and they might view them as unprofessional. This is a problem for Pat since the reason Pat wore those suits was to look professional.
2. The stores are harmed from this transaction. They are unable to sell the suits to other buyers. The stores lose potential customers, so the stores lose potential money.
3. The companies should record that Pat had bought the suit only to return it the next day, so that they can act accordingly when Pat or someone else comes back to "buy" a suit.

Early Settlement Discount
This form of quotation is common with suppliers offering their customers deferred payment arrangement in a sale contract. Usually, under this arrangement customers are allowed to purchase goods on credit and settle their acccount at a specified later date.
However, to encourage customers to pay up their outstanding earlier than expected, suppliers do offer early settlement discount as incentives to induce prompt payment.
A quotation of 2/10, n/30
This implies that the customer is a given a 30-day period from the date of purchase within which he is expected to settle his account. However, if he does so within the next 10 days of purchase he will be given a 2% discount.
<em>Applying this to the question, the purchase date is August 1, the the latest date for which account is settle to qualify for early settlement discount will be 11 days i.e (1+10) .</em>
Since the payment will be made on August 12, no cash discount will received. Therefore, a payment of gross amount of $1,000 would be credited to the cash account.

Answer:
d. Mexico has nothing to gain from importing United States pork.
Explanation:
The principle of comparative advantage asserts that countries (in this case Mexico) are better off importing certain goods (in this case pork), given that the opportunity cost of importing such goods are less in comparison to the production costs of manufacturing them within the country.
By definition, a country is said to have a <em>comparative advantage</em> over another, when they can produce a certain good or service at a lower marginal or opportunity cost.
