Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

A. True.

Explanation:

Companies can and often do use different costing methods for financial reporting and tax reporting. The only exception is when LIFO is used for tax reporting; in this case the IRS requires that it also be used in financial statements.

LIFO assigns the highest amount to cost of goods sold - yielding the lowest gross profits and net income , which also yields a temporary tax advantage by postponing payment of some income tax.

Answer:

PED = -1.4 or |1.4| in absolute values, price elastic

Explanation:

the price elasticity of demand (PED) using the midpoint method:

PED = % change in quantity / % change in price

  • % change in quantity = {(Q 2 − Q1 ) / [(Q2 + Q1)/2]} x 100 = {(200 − 300 ) / [(200 + 300)/2]} x 100 =  -100 / 250 = -0.4
  • % change in price = {(P2 − P1 ) / [(P2 + P1)/2]} x 100 = {(1 − 0.75 ) / [(1 + 0.75)/2]} x 100 = 0.286

PED = -0.4 / 0.286 = -1.4 or |1.4| in absolute values
