Complete the following tasks as they relate to the scenario above:
1. Describe how you would determine the cost of goods sold and the value of any ending inventory for financial reporting purposes (no computations are required).
2. You have just received an inquiry from Mall-Mart department stores to develop and manufacture 20 special designs for a sale exclusively in Mall-Mart stores. The card would be sold for $1.50 each, and Mall-Mart would pay Friendly Greetings $0.35 per card. The initial order is for 20,000 cards of each design. If the cards sell well, Mall-Mart plans to place additional orders for these and other designs. Because of the pre-established sales relationship, no marketing costs would be associated with the cards sold to Mall-Mart. How would you evaluate the desirability of the Mall-Mart proposal?
3. Explain any differences between the cost considered in your answer to requirement (1) and the costs considered in your answer to requirement (2).
