Answer:

All the answers are right

Explanation:

A.To provide a hedge against inflation. : in an inflationary economy, a company can invest in inventory in order to be prepared for the higher prices of raw materials to come. So they can maintain the company´s profit.

B. To tightly synchronize production and distribution processes: inventory of final products can help to minimize the effects of unexpected production problems.

C. To ensure that item cost is maximized: A company can buy a bulk of raw material since the cost of a large number of units is lower. So the final product's cost will be maximized.

D. to tightly synchronize a​ firm's production with its​ customers' demand: for example in a seasonal demand, There are certain months when the demand exceeds the production capacity. In theis case, in the lower season months, the company will be increasing the inventory in order to meet the demand when the high season comes.

olchik [2.2K]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the amount and character of the gain recorded is shown below:

1. Recognized gain would be

= Sales - the cost of the property - recovery cost

= $1,200,000 - $1,000,000 - $411,750

= $611,750

2. Now as per the section 1245 the potential recapture is $411,750

3. Now extra section 291 ordinary income in the case when it is a corporation

= $411,750 ×20%

= $82,350

4. And finally $82,350 would be considered as an ordinary income under section 291 while the remaining balance i.e.

= $611,750 - $82,350

= $529,400

This amount would be considered as a gain under section 1231
