Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Inventory, by                           Per Unit    Net Realizable  LCNRV  Inventory

Product Category  Quantity     Cost             Value                           Value

Tools:

Hammers                  100         $5.00          $5.50             $5.00       $500

Saw                          200          10.00            9.00               9.00        1,800

Screwdrivers           300           2.00            2.60                2.00         600

Paint products:

1-gallon cans          500           6.00             5.00               5.00      2,500

Paint brushes         100            4.00            4.50                4.00         400

Inventory amount (LCNRV rule applied to individual products)  $5,800

Inventory amount (LCNRV rule applied to product categories)

Tools: Cost value = (100 * $5) + (200 * $10) + (300 * $2) = $3,100

          NRV value = (100 * $5.50) + (200 * $9) + (300 * $2.60) = $3,130

LCNRV = $3,100 for tools

Paint products: Cost value = (500 * $6) + (100 * $4) = $3,400

                         NRV value =  (500 * $5) + (100 * $4.50) = $2,950

LCNRV = $2,950 for paint products

Total LCNRV = $6,050 ($3,100 + $2,950)

Inventory amount (LCNRV rule applied to total inventory):

Cost value = (100 * $5) + (200 * $10) + (300 * $2) + (500 * $6) + (100 * $4)

= $6,500

NRV value = (100 * $5.50) + (200 * $9) + (300 * $2.60) + (500 * $5) + (100 * $4.50) = $6,080

Year-end Adjustments for each of the LCNRV applications in requirement 1:

(a) individual products:

Cost of Inventory =   $6,500

LCNRV =                      5,800

Inventory write down  $700

(b) product categories:

Cost of Inventory =   $6,500

LCNRV =                      6,050

Inventory write down  $450

(c) total inventory:

Cost of Inventory =   $6,500

LCNRV =                      6,080

Inventory write down  $420

Home Inspirations. Hailey works for her father in a family-owned business called Home Inspirations, a bedding company that has been in operation since the 1800s. When her father retires, Hailey plans on taking over the business. Hailey is aware of many things about the company that she likes, and a few things that she does not. She has particularly noted that when the economy has low unemployment and high total income, sales are great. However, at any other time, sales are not so good.
Currently, all of the bedding items are created in one place and everyone works on various tasks every day. Hailey is thinking about streamlining the production process so that individuals would be responsible for only one task. She believes that if production would increases, she could sell her products at a lower price and increase revenue. She knows that most bedding products available in the market are very similar in nature and satisfy the same need. However, if she were able to lower prices, this might give her company the competitive advantage that it needs. She would then be able to invest money in differentiating her products by providing unique features, building the brand name, and offering services such as free delivery. She is also considering selling her products on the Internet. Hailey knows that her father does not like change very much, but she feels these changes are important for the future of the company.
Hailey feels that for productivity to improve, the company must practice: _________.
a. Free enterprise,
b. Work ethics,
c. Specialization,
d. Cultural diversity,
e. Pure competition.

Geralt of Rivia is an independent contractor who specializes in monster-killing. His unique skills have earned him the bargaining power to sell his services at a high price to those willing to pay for the removal of infestations of fire elementals, rock trolls, royal wyverns, or the like. Geralt specializes only in hard-to-kill monsters, however, leaving the likes of basiliks and harpies, monsters lower on the totem pole, to less sophisticated monster slayers.
Given these facts, based on the Generic Business Strategies framework, we might say that Geralt occupies the_______ (1) quadrant of the framework.
