Respuesta :

Smith should recognize a loss of $2000.

An unwavering promise to buy products or services from a provider is known as a purchasing commitment. Companies enter into purchase commitments to lock in a specific pricing and occasionally to lock in a supplier's production capacity as a defensive measure to prevent rivals from exploiting the production capacity.

In the given question,

                  Units of Raw material = 1000

                  Unit Price = $30

                  Units of Raw material outstanding = 1000

                  Market Price = $28

Now,

          Total Raw Material = $30,000

          Total Raw Material Outstanding = $28,000

          Loss/Profit Incurred = $28,000 - $30,000

                       Loss Incurred= ($2000)

Therefore, Smith Corp. should recognize a loss of $2000.
