Answer:

d. Benefits consumers by forcing prices down to the level of average cost.

Explanation:

In the long run, as firms enter into the industry, price would fall. This is due to the law of supply which says the higher the price, the higher the quantity supplied and the lower the price, the lower the quantity supplied.

The entry of firms into the industry in the long run drives economic profit to zero and ensures that price is equal to marginal cost or average cost.

Debit ; Cost of Sales (100 x $5 + 150 x $6 + 160 x $7) $2,520

Credit : Inventory $2,520

Part 1 b

Gross Profit = Sales - Cost of Sales

Sales = ( 80 x $8.00 + 120 x $8.75 + 100 x $9.00) = $2,590

Cost of Sales = (100 x $5 + 150 x $6 + 160 x $7) = $2,520

Therefore,

Gross Profit = $2,590 - $2,520

= $70

Debit ; Accounts Receivable (100 x $9.00) $900

Debit : Cost of Sales (50 x $6.00 + 50 x $7) $650

Credit : Revenue (100 x $9.00) $900

Credit : Inventory (50 x $6.00 + 50 x $7) $650

Part 2 b

Gross Profit = Sales - Cost of Sales

Sales = ( 80 x $8.00 + 120 x $8.75 + 100 x $9.00) = $2,590

Cost of Sales = ($400 + $700 + $650) = $1,750

Therefore,

Gross Profit = $2,590 - $1,750

= $840

Explanation:

Hie, see the attached the full question as images below

Part 1

Note that the question in this part requires us to use the Periodic Inventory System. In Periodic Inventory system, Inventory Valuation and calculation of Cost of Goods Sold is done at the end of the Period, in this case at the end of the month of January.

Part 2

Again it is important to note that the question in this part requires us to use the Perpetual Inventory System. In Perpetual Inventory system, Inventory Valuation and calculation of Cost of Goods Sold is done at the after each and every transaction made.

Overall Comment

The Company use of FIFO should be considered in both the Periodic Inventory System in Part 1 and Perpetual Inventory System in Part 2. FIFO method assumes that the first goods received by the business will be the first ones to be delivered to the final customer.

That said, Cost of Sales for Part 1 are determined and recognized at the end of the period and Cost of Sales for Part 2 are determined and recognized after every sale transaction made

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

A) Indirect exporting

Explanation:

An indirect exporting strategy refers to selling to an intermediary business. The intermediary business is responsible for selling and distributing the product in their domestic market.

This is the easiest way of exporting since GHB will only be responsible for delivering the goods to the intermediary, and it will not need invest anything in the country. The intermediary assumes the risks of selling the goods directly to customers or using wholesale distributors.

According to the article, what should you do if you suspect your boss of unethical business practices?

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

Report it to the right person

Explanation:

According to the article titled "What to do when you spot your employer doing something illegal" written by Catherine Conlan.

It says the best thing to do is to report it to the right person.

This is evident when it is stated in the article that "If you reasonably believe your employer is doing something illegal or unethical, you should first bring it to your supervisor’s attention... If it’s your supervisor you suspect, exhaust the chain of command within the company.

Hopefully, the company will investigate the matter. If no one within the chain of command responds, then there is generally a government agency with whom one can file a complaint,"
