Answer:

Part 1.

Number = 2,000 units and Cost  = $26,800

Part 2.

1,040 units

Part 3.

a. FIFO

Ending Inventory  = $14,580

Cost of Goods Sold  = $12,220

b. LIFO

Ending Inventory = $13,180

Cost of Goods Sold  = $13,620

c. Weighted Average Cost

Ending Inventory = $13,936

Cost of Goods Sold = $12,864

Part 4.

Orion Iron Corp.

Income Statement

                                            FIFO               LIFO         Weighted Average

Sales (960 x $42)          $40,320          $40,320               $40,320

Less Cost of Sales        ($12,220)         ($13,620)               ($12,864)

Gross Profit                    $28,100          $26,700                $27,456

Less Expenses

Operating Expenses    ($18,000)         ($18,000)              ($18,000)

Net Income                     $10,100            $8,700                 $9,456

Part 6.

Weighted Average method minimizes Income taxes as it provides lowest profits than the rest of the methods.

Explanation:

Periodic Inventory method ensures that Cost of Sales and Inventory Value are determined at the end of the period.

Cost of Goods Available for Sale = Beginning Inventory + Purchases

therefore,

Number = 350 + 950 + 700 = 2,000 units

Cost = 350 x $14 + 950 x $12 + 700 x $15 = $26,800

Units in Ending Inventory = Units available for sale - Units sold

therefore,

Units in Ending Inventory = 2,000 - ( 350 + 610 ) = 1,040

FIFO

<em>This method assumes that the units to arrive first, will be sold first.</em>

Ending Inventory =  340 x $12 + 700 x $15 = $14,580

Cost of Goods Sold = 350 x $14 + 610 x $12 = $12,220

LIFO

<em>This method assumes that the units to arrive last, will be sold first.</em>

Ending Inventory = 690 x $12 + 350 x $14 = $13,180

Cost of Goods Sold = 700 x $15 + 260 x $12 = $13,620

Weighted Average Cost

This method calculates a new unit cost based on units available for sale after each and every purchase. This unit cost is then used to determine the cost of sales and inventory value.

Unit Cost = Total Cost ÷ Units available for sale

                = $26,800 ÷ 2,000 units

                = $13.40

Ending Inventory = Units in Inventory x Unit Cost

                             = 1,040 x $13.40

                             = $13,936

Cost of Goods Sold = Units Sold x Unit Cost

                                 = 960 x $13.40

                                 = $12,864

Answer:

inelastic demand

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand (PED) measures the proportional change in quantity demanded when the price of a product or service changes:

  • when a 1% decrease in price, increases quantity demanded in a smaller proportion, the PED is said to be inelastic.
  • when a 1% decrease in price, increases quantity demanded in a larger proportion, the PED is said to be elastic.
  • when a 1% decrease in price, increases quantity demanded in the same proportion, the PED is said to be unit elastic.

In this case, the decrease in price (-2%) barely increased the quantity demanded, therefore, the PED is inelastic.
