Explanation of Solution

It is given that the beginning inventory of October is 300 tons and the ending inventory of October is 100 tons. Ending inventory of the month is the beginning inventory of the month of November.

It is calculated by taking the average of beginning inventory and ending inventory of the month of October.

  Averageinventory=Beginninginventory+Endinginventory2

  Averageinventory=300tons+100tons2=200tons

Hence, the average inventory for the month of October is 200 tons.

Calculation of average inventory for the month of November:

  Averageinventory=Beginninginventory+Endinginventory2

  Averageinventory=100tons+200tons2=150tons

Hence, the average inventory for the month of November is 150 tons.

Calculation of percentage change in the average inventory between October and November:

It is calculated by dividing the value attained by subtracting the value 1 from value 2 with the value 1. Then, multiply the attained value with 100 to find the percentage.

  Percentagechange=(Value2-Value1Value1)×100=(150tons-200tons200tons)×100=-150tons200tons×100=-0.25×100=-25%

Hence, the percentage change in the average inventory between October and November is -25%.

Agree or disagree with post On the surface, the numbers in financial statements do present a snapshot of a company's financial position and performance. However, just looking at the raw numbers often doesn't tell the whole story or reveal underlying trends and relationships that are crucial for making informed decisions. Think of it like looking at individual pieces of a puzzle. Each number is a piece, providing some information.

Is revenue growing? Are expenses increasing at a faster rate than sales? This reveals trends that a single year's numbers wouldn't show. Vertical analysis allows us to see the relative size of each item within…
What can you do in response to an insulting offer?
Agree or disagree with post  If someone hits you with an insulting offer, the first thing to do is not take it personally.

Better move is to stay calm and treat it like a misunderstanding or just the first step in the conversation. That way, you keep things respectful but still let them know the offer doesn’t sit right with you. It also helps to back up your response with facts. Bring in things like your experience, numbers, or any specific results you delivered. That can shift the conversation away from feelings and toward the value you bring. Agree or disagree with post
