If your a busy small business owner, taking time away from your store makes you less efficient. The trade offs for using this premium service are 1. your spending more money 2. control over quality. Vise versa if your paying more for the “best groceries” then that may not be an issue. Also be aware that another issue is stocking, going to the store yourself does not guarantee that the store will have all items in stock when you go. 3. Time, taking time to grocery shop takes away from your business or the cost of an employee to watch the business or do the shopping for you having you rely on a third party’s judgment. 4. Gas, the cost of gasoline to go to and from the store. If all these are added up then you are essentially paying more for your “in person” groceries as it is. Choosing to grocery shop yourself saves you money (although how much? Once everything is taken into account?) but again the time it takes away is significant. For a busy small business owner time is extremely important and this is why the trade off of cost or added expenses for groceries may be worth it. (I hope this helps guide you in answering this question).
A public good is an example of a good or product that individuals can consume or use without reducing its total availability for others. Goods like national security, sewer systems, public parks, among others, are considered as public goods. Many can benefit from it and it is considered by economists as goods that are "non-rivalrous" or "non-exclusive." <span>

<u>Calculation of cost of goods sold under a periodic system:</u>
It is given that the beginning inventory is $100,000, cost of goods purchased is $500,000, and ending inventory is $130,000. The cost of goods sold can be calculated as follows:
Cost of Goods Sold = Beginning inventory + Cost of goods purchased- Ending inventory
= 100,000 + 500,000 – 130,000
= $470,000
Hence, the cost of goods sold is<u> $470,000</u>
