Answer:
Demand schedule:
The Demand schedule refers to the tabular representation of the quantity demanded at the various price levels. By observing the demand schedule, we can conclude that as the price of the good increases then as a result the quantity demanded for that good falls. It represents various combination of price and quantity demanded.
Demand curve:
A demand curve refers to the graphical representation of the demand schedule which shows the relationship between the price of the commodity and the quantity demanded for that commodity. It is downward sloping curve which shows that there is an inverse relationship between the price of a good and the quantity demanded.
Answer:
6,704 units
Explanation:
The computation of the number of units sold is shown below:
= (Fixed expenses + target profit) ÷ (Contribution margin per unit)
where,
Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable expense per unit
= $90 per unit - $36 per unit
= $54 per unit
So, the number of units sold is
= ($162,000 + $200,000) ÷ ($54 per unit)
= 6,704 units
From the data given above, the investor required rate of return on the firm's stock is 10% and is equal to $4,75 that is expected to be paid each year.
If $4.75 = 10%, then the price of the stock which is 100% will be equal to $4,75 * 10= $47.50.
Therefore, the current price of the stock is $47.50.
Answer:
A. In a situation where prices are declining, companies using LIFO will report the smallest cost of goods sold.
- This is because LIFO calculates goods sold as Last in, First Out. And since the cost is declining, the last in inventory will have the smallest cost of goods sold.
C. Weighted average cost of goods sold will be between FIFO and LIFO costs of goods sold.
- Whether the cost of goods are rising or falling, this will always be the case.
D. Companies using LIFO will pay higher taxes than companies using FIFO, assuming all else being equal.
- This is because when using LIFO in this scenario, higher profits would be recorded and the tax is paid on profit, thus higher taxes.
F. Companies using LIFO will report the highest ending inventory on their balance sheets (as compared to companies using FIFO or weighted average,)
- This is simply because in this scenario, the LIFO sold the cheaper goods first leaving an ending inventory of the relatively expensive goods unlike FIFO which would have sold the expensive first. Again, emphasis on this scenario of declining cost.
