for q3 closing stock of year 1 was overstated by 2000
when closing stock is over valued the profits decrease and cost of goods sold increase for that year
so cost of goods sold will be 240 +2 = 242 and profit will be 30 - 2 = 28
Now the closing stock of year 1 is the opening stock of year 2
when opening stock is overvalued the profits increase and cost of goods sold decrease
so the profit will be 40 + 2 = 42 and cost of sales will be 320 - 2 = 318
answer is C

Demand curve is derived through utility theory. Explain it graphically?
(12 marks)

Explain utility and the law of diminishing marginal utility, then draw this graph.
Then explain that as according to every successive consumption of a good, the Marginal utility falls. Now according to demand curve, a consumer would be ready to pay less for a product which yields less satisfaction compared to the previous one consumed. Due to this, the demand curve is downward sloping.
Now you can explain how this is not true in case the good is a luxury or explain paradox of value by Adam smith.
