Answer and Explanation:

The fixed quantity inventory system, the quantity of an order or the lot size is fixed in nature i.e. the similar amount means the quantity is ordered each and every time. It could be managed by continonusly watching the level of inventory. Example - economic order quantity

On the other hand, the fixed period inventory system is a system in which the inventory is to be checked at fixed inventory. It is same as the periodic reveiw system instead of the continuous basis. Example - drugstore

Compute the cost assigned to ending inventory using (a) FIFO, (b) LIFO, (c) weighted average, and (d) specific identification. F

masha68 [24]

Answer:

Closing Units = (710 units - 490 units)= 220 units

a) FIFO : closing inventory = $14,040

Mar 18 purchase 20 *$62 =$1,240

Mar 25 purchase 200 *$64 = $12,800

b) LIFO : closing inventory = $12,780

Mar 1 opening = 90 * $52 =$4,680

Mar 18 purchase = 110 * $62 = $6,820

Mar 25 purchase = 20*$64 =1,280

c) Weighted Average Method (WAM) :

WAM= (Opening cost + purchases cost)/(opening units +units purchased)

= ($7,800+$14,250)/(150+250) = $55.125 cost before Mar 9 sale

WAM(after the first sale) = ($4,961.25 +$6,820 + $12,800)/(90+110+200)

= $61.45

Closing Inventory = $61.45*220 =$13,519

d) Specific Identification :Closing Inventory = $13,070

Mar 01 opening = 60 *$52 =$3,120

Mar 5 Purchase = 30*$57 =$1,710

Mar 18 Purchase = 40*$62 =$2,480

Mar 25 Purchase = 90*$64 =$5,760

Explanation:

The Question is incomplete. I have provided the missing part of the question below.

The correct answer is D. Absolute cost differences regulate the immediate basis for trade
Absolute gain is the ability of a country, separate, company or region to make a good or service at a lower cost per unit than the cost at which any other individual produces that same good or service.

7. Identifying costs of inflation Bob manages a grocery store in a country experiencing a high rate of inflation. He is paid in

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

Shoe-leather Costs.

Explanation:

In this scenario, Bob manages a grocery store in a country experiencing a high rate of inflation. He is paid in cash twice per month. On payday, he immediately goes out and buys all the goods he will need over the next two weeks in order to prevent the money in his wallet from losing value.

What he can't spend, he converts into a more stable foreign currency for a steep fee. This is an example of the Shoes-leather costs of inflation.

A Shoe-leather costs refers to the costs of time, energy and effort people expend to mitigate the effect of high inflation on the depreciative purchasing power of money by frequently visiting depository financial institutions in order to minimize inflation tax they pay on holding cash.

Metaphorically, it ultimately implies that in order to protect the value of money or assets, some people wear out the sole of their shoes by going to financial institutions more frequently to make deposits.

Hence, Bob is practicing a shoe-leather cost of inflation so as to reduce the nominal interest rates.
