Smith Inc. uses the periodic inventory system. Its purchases for the most recent year were $83,000, ending inventory was $21,000, and the cost of goods sold was $122,000. How much inventory was in stock at the beginning of the year? A :

$60,000

Explanation:

under the periodic inventory system, cost of goods sold(COGS) is calculated by the formula  given below

COGS = BEGINNING INVENTORY(BI) + cost of goods purchased(COGP) - ENDING INVENTORY (EI)

BI=COGS-COGP+EI

Given in the problem

COGS=122000

COGP=83000

EI=21000

122,000 - 83000 + 21000 = $60,000(EI)

it should be p1 v1 = p2 v2

answer: e.   sour taste

explanation: acids are those substances which dissociates in water to give ions. as they dissociate to give ions, they act as electrolytes and thus are electrically conductive. acids are sour in taste. example: hcl

bases are those substances which dissociates in water to give ions or accepts ions. as they dissociate to give ions, they act as electrolytes and thus are electrically conductive. bases are bitter in taste. bases are slippery in nature.
