Answer:

Merv's Hardware would most likely try to lower the sale price of the sandpaper. In order to do so, the family store would have to reduce the costs of production, both fixed and variable. It might not still be able to match the $29 price offered by The Home Shoppe, but it could expect to rely on convenience for customers because while the Home Shoppe offers a cheaper product, it is located on another town and some customers may not want to go there.

If the market for corporate control were efficient as a governance device, then only __________ would be targets for takeovers.
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is c. poorly performing firms.

Explanation:

Corporate governance is the set of rules, principles and procedures that regulate the structure and operation of the governing bodies of a company. Specifically, it establishes the relationships between the board of directors, the board of directors, the shareholders and the rest of the interested parties, and stipulates the rules governing the decision-making process on the company for the generation of value.

In recent years, and more specifically following the onset of the financial crisis, the international community has understood the importance of listed companies being managed in an adequate and transparent manner. The good governance of companies is the basis for the functioning of markets, as it favors credibility, stability and contributes to boosting growth and wealth generation.

The weakness shown by corporate governments of large organizations in the past has multiplied the demands for transparency, truthfulness, good practices and responsible business behavior on the part of investors, consumers and society in general, which not only pay attention anymore. to financial indicators, but they also want to know how those results have been achieved.

olga55 [171]

Answer:1. $7720  

2. $7945

3. $7758

Explanation: 1. First in First out method which means the first inventory to be purchased by company will be the first to be sold.  

Total cost of Sales   = Total number of units Sold * Total Cost of inventory sold    

                                  = 100units*$5+ 300units*$5.30+ 200units*$5.35 + 450units*$5.60

                                   =$7720

Total units sold=1450  we started from first inventory which was the balance of inventory of 100 units downwards up to the 1450th unit sold that was purchased on the 26th of April by the company.

2. Last in first out method is where the last bought inventory is sold first.

Total cost of sales= Total number of units sold * Total cost of units sold =200units$*5.80+ 600units*$5.60+ 200units*$5.35+300units*$5.30+150units*$5.1

=$7945

Total units sold still 1450 but we calculated the cost from the last purchased unit from 30th April to the 1450th unit sold which was on the 12th of April.

3. Average Cost = (Sum of all costs/Total number of costs)* total units sold

                     = (($5+$5.1+$5.3+$5.35+$5.6+$5.8)/6)* 1450

=$7769.58
