Answer:

The answer is $243,000

Explanation:

The inventory on July 8 immediately prior to the fire is the CLOSING INVENTORY.

To find this closing inventory, we need to find the gross profit first and then cost of sales.

To find gross profit:

Gross profit margin=gross profit ÷sales.

Gross profit margin is 20% or 0.2

Sales is $690,000

Therefore, gross profit is:

0.2 x $690,000

=$138,000

To find cost of sales:

Gross profit = sales - cost of sales.

Gross profit is $138,000

Sales is $690,000

Therefore, cost of sales is

$690,000 - $138,000

=$552,000.

And finally to get closing inventory:

Cost of sales = opening inventory + purchases - closing inventory.

Cost of sales = $552,000

Opening inventory = $140,000

Purchases = $655,000

Closing inventory = $140,000+$655,000-$552,000

=$243,000.

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

(a) $210,000

(b) $351,500

Explanation:

(a) Given that,

Fair value of equipment = $1,440,000

Face Amount of the note = $1,230,000

Gain on sale:

= Fair value of equipment - Face Amount of the note

= $1,440,000 - $1,230,000

= $210,000

(b) Given that,

Accrued Interest Payable = $290,000

Interest rate = 5%

Gain on the partial settlement and restructure of the debt:

= Accrued Interest Payable + (Face amount of note × Interest rate)

= $290,000 + ($1,230,000 × 5%)

= $290,000 + $61,500

= $351,500

Savings for You, a discount retail chain, is highly competitive. When entering a new market, Savings for You often cuts prices s
REY [17]

Answer:

<u>Predatory pricing</u>

Explanation:

A "predator" refers to an animal who survives by "preying" on other animals.

Predatory pricing in a similar sense refers to that form of excessively low pricing which in a way consumes other firms by taking away their share of industry revenues. Such form of pricing is considered illegal and is against healthy competition.

Such pricing eliminates competitors from the market and gradually leads to emergence of a monopoly i.e supremacy of a single firm in the whole industry and thus considered an illegal practice.

In the given case, the retail chain can be alleged to have followed predatory pricing which is substantiated by the fact that it cuts it's prices excessively i.e even below cost , thereby forcing smaller companies to exit the industry.
