Cornerstone, Inc. has $125,000 of inventory that suffered minor smoke damage from a fire in the warehouse. The company can sell

the goods "as is" for $45,000; alternatively, the goods can be cleaned and shipped to the firm's outlet center at a cost of $23,000. There the goods could be sold for $80,000. What alternative is more desirable and what is the relevant cost for that alternative?

Answer:

Alternative of cleaning and shipping is better as loss value is less.

Relevant cost of this alternative is $23,000 incurred for cleaning and shipping.

Explanation:

Evaluating both the proposals

In case the goods are sold as it is then net cost/ loss = Carrying value of inventory - Sales Revenue

= $125,000 - $45,000 = $80,000

In case the goods are cleaned and shipped then

Total cost = $125,000 + $23,000 = $148,000

Revenue = $80,000

Net loss/ cost = $148,000 - $80,000 = $68,000

Thus Since the loss value is less i alternative 2 that is of cleaning and shipping, it shall be chosen.

The relevant cost of that alternative is $23,000 incurred in cleaning and shipping.

The short-run price elasticity of demand will be inelastic and the short-run price elasticity of supply will be inelastic.

Elasticity of demand measures the relationship that exists between price and quantity demanded.

Elasticity of supply measures how quantity supplied changes when there is a change in the price of a good.

<u><em>Types of elasticity.</em></u>

  1. Elastic demand (supply): This means that demand (supply) is sensitive to price changes
  2. Inelastic demand (supply): this means that demand (supply) does not respond to price changes. The coefficient of elasticity is less than one.
  3. Unit elastic demand (supply): demand (supply) changes in equal proportion. The coefficient of elasticity is equal to one.

<em><u>Factors that affect elasticity </u></em>

  1. The number of substitutes the good has: the more substitutes the good has, the more elastic demand is.  
  2. The length of time: demand (supply) is inelastic in the short run. In the short run, producers (consumers) do not have enough time to find suitable substitutes.  In the long run, producers would have more time to search for suitable substitutes or shift to the production of other goods when compared with the short-run.
  3. Ease of entry or exit into an industry: the more easy it is for firms to enter into an industry, the more elastic supply would be.

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

The answer is D

Explanation:

Depreciation is best described as An estimate of how much of a tangible asset has been used during an accounting period: considered an expense that does not require any cash outflow under the accrual basis accounting.

Depreciation reduces the value of an asset and it reduces it over the life span of an asset. Depreciation is a non cash reduction. Depreciation tells us how much the value of an asset has reduced.

In the study of geomorphology, why do we primarily concentrate on processes rather than on distribution patterns by latitude?
4vir4ik [10]
In the study of geomorphology, processes like weathering and erosion are key to how the rocks will be sculpted by natural forces to produce interesting landforms like buttes and mesas for example. The distribution of geomorphological features like say the Amazon River by latitude is important but the process that shaped the landforms is more important as to how it got its present configuration.

The Wyeth Corporation produces three products, A, B, and C, from a single raw material input. Product A can be sold at the split
Degger [83]

Answer:

It is preferable to further process Product A.

Explanation:

Product should be processed further before sale if the net incremental benefits from further processing is positive.

The net incremental benefits from further processing is increase in revenue when further processed less further costs of processing.

Increase in revenue=$58,000-$40,000

                                 =$18,000

Further processing costs=$15,000

Net incremental benefits=$18,000-$15,000

Net incremental benefits=$3,000

Since processing further brings a net benefit of $3,000, Product A should be further processed before being sold.
