Answer:

$7,500

Explanation:

last quarter production was 1,000

production for the next four quarters:

  1. 900 ⇒ so 100 will be fired = 100 x $5 = $500 firing costs
  2. 700 ⇒ so 200 will be fired = 200 x $5 = $1,000 firing costs
  3. 1,000 ⇒ 300 will be hired = 300 x $20 = $6,000 hiring costs
  4. 1,000 ⇒ no one will be fired or hired

total firing and hiring costs = $500 + $1,000 + $6,000 = $7,500

When a firm pursues a chase strategy, it means that they are following the quantity demanded which is set by the market. They only follow the demand, they do not attempt to increase or decrease it.

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

The answer is "Develop and implement security and resilience programs for the critical infrastructure under their control, while taking into consideration the public good as well".

Explanation:

In the past, industrial control  systems were generally not connected to IT networks and did not contain complex computing  capabilities; therefore, they could be adequately protected using physical security measures like locks  and fences. However, as OT has become more integrated with IT, such physical measures are becoming  less adequate in securing the underlying critical assets.

il63 [147K]

Answer:

Closing inventory - $10,160

Costs of goods sold - $9,600

Explanation:

Under the LIFO Method, the cost of good sold equals to

= April 23 units × cost per unit + Remaining units × cost per unit

= 300 units × $22 + 150 units × $20

= $6,600 + $3,000

= $9,600

Since the firm has sold 450 units, so out of which 300 units sold at a price of $22 and the remaining 150 units sold at a price of $20

The ending inventory equals to

= Remaining units × cost per unit + April 1 × cost per unit

= 270 units × $20 + 280 units × $17

= $5,400 + $4,760

= $10,160

Since on April 23, the 420 units were purchase, out of which 150 units are transferred to the cost of good sold and the remaining units 270 units at $20 is transferred to the ending inventory
