Explanation:

Using the lower of cost or market method implies firstly valuing the inventory at the purchased cost (historical cost).

Sara works at a printing company. She and her colleagues have to stagger
dolphi86 [110]

Answer: D. Why the customer needs 5,000 extra flyers

Explanation:

The important factors that Sara will consider to know whether her company can accommodate the request are:

• Whether her company has enough paper on hand

• Whether her company can print the additional flyers without negatively affecting the other projects

• Whether there is enough time to print the additional flyers by tomorrow.

These factors above are important as they'll determine if she can accept the request or not. For example, in a situation where there's no enough paper, then the request should not be accepted.

The least important factor for Sara to consider will be "Why the customer needs 5,000 extra flyers". This is not of concern to Sara and shouldn't bother her.
