Answer:
-203.4%
Explanation:
Initial investment = 2,500*349*10%
Initial investment = 87,250
Return = (278 - 349) * 2,500 unit
Return = -71 * 2,500 unit
Return = -177,500
Return on invested capital = Return / Initial investment
Return on invested capital = -177,500/87,250
Return on invested capital = 2.034383954154728
Return on invested capital = -203.4%
The inventory has to be recorded separately to each item and this will generally result in the lowest inventory amount.
<u>Explanation:</u>
LCM- the Lower of Cost which is also called as Market rule is the theory for valuating the inventory in accounting. According to the LCM rule, in a business the cost of inventory must be recorded at lower cost (it can be either the current market price or the original cost)
Reason for recording at lower cost:
Aggregating the items results in the incorporation of some items at amounts greater than LCM.
Example:
If product X (cost = 2 dollars, market = 1 dollar) and product Y (cost = 3 dollars, market = 4 dollars) are aggregated for LCM, the inventory measurement will be 5 dollars. If the rule is applied separately to both the products, the LCM measurement will be 4 dollars.

Answer:
Compilations.
Explanation:
A compilation is part of the write-up service of accounting firms that involves conversion of data into financial statements without providing assurances or auditing services.
A compilation report usually accompanied the financial statements to show that data is well represented, and also to show that there has been no audit so the accountant is not giving an opinion.
So the CPA will not be violating independent rules by working on compilations.
Answer and Explanation:
a)
If you charge $40 for X then everyone will buy as everyone is willing to pay atleast $40. this means all three groups buy that is 3*1000 buyers.So profit from X = 3000*40= $120,000
And since everyone is willing to willing to pay atleast $60 for Y again all three groups will buy so profit from Y =3000*60=$180,000
profits=$300,000
b)
If you charge $90 and $160 for X and Y respectively you will have only 1000 buyers for each product as others are unwilling to pay this much.
So profits = 1000*90 + 1000*160=$250,000
c)
for a bundle of X and Y buyers are willing to pay a total of $150, $210 and $200 across the three categories.
So everyone will buy a bundle of 1 X and 1 Y.
profits = 150*3000= $450,000
d)
If you charge $210 only the second will buy as they are willing to pay that much so profits =1000*210=$210,000
Also by selling X at $90 group 1 will buy X; profits=1000*90=$90,000
and by selling Y at $160 group 3 will buy Y; profits=1000*160=$160,000
total profits =$460,000
