Answer:
The answer is: Gross profit = $2,788
Explanation:
- Feb. 1 Purchase 110 units $46 per unit
- March 14 Purchase 190 units $48 per unit
- May 1 Purchase 135 units $ 50 per unit
312 units were sold at $64 per unit, tax rate is 30%
Using FIFO, what is the company's gross profit? We first calculate COGS
Cost of goods sold - 312 units:
- 110 units at $46 per unit = $5,060
- 190 units at $48 per unit = $9,120
- 60 units at $50 per unit = $3,000
Total COGS = $17,180

<u>Predatory pricing</u>
Explanation:
A "predator" refers to an animal who survives by "preying" on other animals.
Predatory pricing in a similar sense refers to that form of excessively low pricing which in a way consumes other firms by taking away their share of industry revenues. Such form of pricing is considered illegal and is against healthy competition.
Such pricing eliminates competitors from the market and gradually leads to emergence of a monopoly i.e supremacy of a single firm in the whole industry and thus considered an illegal practice.
In the given case, the retail chain can be alleged to have followed predatory pricing which is substantiated by the fact that it cuts it's prices excessively i.e even below cost , thereby forcing smaller companies to exit the industry.
