Why was 2007 considered the "Year of the Recall"?

Business

Karolina [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Most of the recalls were in the toy industry, which alarmed the public

Explanation:

2007 is known as the "year of the recall" because in that year a very high level of recalls were made by manufacturers but most importantly and alarmingly was the toy industry.

Every child, from being a baby to toddlers and preteens usually have one or more toys that they play with. 2007 seemed like the year to not get toys for kids as it became public knowledge that high amounts of lead was used in toy production that year.

Lead for all its usefulness is a poisonous  or dangerous substance to the human body talk more of a kid. The revelation of excessive lead content in toys caused a recall of toys by toy companies among other companies.

Also affected were art supplies, jewelries, etc.

Cheers

Bing Corporation acquired two inventory items at a lump-sum cost of $120,000. The acquisition included 3,000 units of product LF
Zina [86]

Answer: $7,500

Explanation:

3,000 units of LF normally costs:

= 3,000 * 30

= $90,000

7,000 units of 1B normally costs:

= 7,000 * 10

= $70,000

Together they cost:

= 90,000 + 70,000

= $160,000

Use this to calculate the proportional cost of LF from the lump sum:

= 90,000 / 160,000 * 120,000

= $67,500

Cost per unit of LF purchased at lump sum cost:

= 67,500 / 3,000 units

= $22.50

Gross profit:

= (Selling price - Cost per unit) * 1,000 units

= (30 - 22.50) * 1,000

= $7,500

This question is based on the documentary film, ''The End of the Line'' which was done on the effects of fishing worldwide. In 2001, records showed that local stocks of fish were down around the world yet worldwide figures were increasing at a record rate.

The United Nations hired someone to investigate this and what he found was that Communist China was inflating the amount of fish they were harvesting so that they could look more efficient.
