Answer: Please refer to Explanation.

Explanation:

1. Honesty.

State the purpose of your call to the secretary and sell your product. For instance, " Hello, my name is Mr. Petal and I represent a fast rising Paper and Metal Container company. After researching about your company, I felt it most expedient to get in touch with Mr. Firestone as I believe this is business he will be interested in. We offer perks that are unmatched in the industry".

2. Persistence.

You can be persistent on the phone if you detect deceit in the secretary's tone.

For instance,

" Having been in the chemical industry myself, I know such an opportunity does not come often and I really do guarantee that we give the best benefits in the industry. If you can, just let me talk to Mr. Firestone, I promise that neither of you will regret it".

If it still doesn't work, ask for a convenient time you can call back.

Makovka662 [10]

Answer: The Break-Even Point will reduce from $4,285.71 to $4,125

Explanation:

To get the Break-Even Point we can divide Fixed Assets by the Contribution margin.

The Contribution Margin is the Selling Price minus the Variable Cost.

For Scenario 1 the Break-Even Point will be,

= 15,000 / ( 6 - 2.50)

= $4,285.71

For Scenario 2 the Break-Even Point is,

= 16,500 / 6.5 -2.5

= $4,125

The Break-Even Point for Scenario 2 means that even though the higher Fixed Costs could have led to a higher Break-Even Point, the higher price contributed more than the fixed costs did and led to an ultimately lower Break-Even Point than the first Scenario.

QS 6-4 Perpetual: Inventory costing with FIFO LO P1 A company reports the following beginning inventory and two purchases for th
pogonyaev

Answer:

$544

Explanation:

LIFO means last in first out. It means it's the last purchased inventory that is the first to be sold.

The cost of the 250 units sold would be first deducted from the inventory purchased on the 25th

= 100 × 2.34 = $234

That leaves 250 - 100 = 150 units.

The cost of goods sold would be next allotted to the inventory purchased on the 9th

= 50 × 2.20 = $110

This leaves 150 - 50 = 100

The cost of the 100 would be alloted to the beginning inventory

100 × $2 = $200

Total cost of goods sold = $200 + $110 + $234 = $544

I hope my answer helps you
