The following units of an inventory item were available for sale during the year. Beginning inventory 10 units at $55 First purchase 25 units at $60 Second purchase 30 units at $65 Third purchase 15 units at $70 The firm uses the periodic inventory system. During the year, 60 units of the item were sold. The ending inventory cost rounded to nearest dollar using average cost is

option (b) is correct

step-by-step explanation:

to find the solution of this system, we need to convert it into reduced row-echelon form. we have,

after applying row operations r2 -> r2/2 and r3 -> r3/3, we get,

answer: the proof is mentioned below.

step-by-step explanation:

since, given:   lines bc = ef

prove:   lines ac > ef

          statements                                           reason

1. bc=ef                                           1. given

2. ac= ab+bc                                 2. because b is the point between the  

                                                            line segment ac

3.   ac > bc                                       3. because if a line segment is equal to

                                                          the sum of two line segments then it is

                                                          always greater then each of these

                                                          individual line segments

4. ac > ef                                         4. by equality property.

step-by-step explanation:

to determine whether a given function is even, we simply substitute x with -x in the expression. if the result after simplification is identical to the original equation, then the function is said to be even other wise odd.

f(-x) = (-x)^2 - (-x) + 8

      = x^2 + x +8

the resulting function is not identical to the original one;

f(-x) ≠ f(x)

therefore, f(x) is not an even function
