Answer:

$15 per hour

Explanation:

In order for a profit maximizing firm to operate in a competitive market, the marginal revenue product (MRP) must be equal to the marginal cost (MC).

MRP = 1.5 oil changes per hour x $10 per oil change = $15

since MRP = MC, then Linda should pay her worker a maximum of $15 per hour.

No option is even close, they are all over $500 and that is way off limits.

hichkok12 [17]

Answer: Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

Net sales = Gross sales - Sale return

                = $3,600,000 - 34,000

                = $3,566,000

Gross profit = Net sales - COGS

                    = $3,566,000 - $1,200,000

                    = $2,366,000

Total Income = Gross profit  - S& A expense - Prior period expense + Gain on sale of securities + Gain on disposal of business segment

                      = $2,366,000  - $500,000 - $59,000 + $8,000 + $4,000

                      = $1,819,000

Net Income for Year 2 = Total Income - [email protected]%

                                      = $1,819,000 - $545,700

                                      = $1,273,300

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Closing Stock = <u>38000 </u>

Explanation:

Net Sales = COGS + Gross Profit

  • <u>Net sales</u> = sales - sales return = 185000 - 6000 = 179000
  • <u>Gross Profit</u> = 60% of sales (as per gross profit ratio)

       = 60% of 179000 = 107400

  • <u>COGS </u>= Opening Stock + Net Purchase + direct expenses - Closing Stock

* <u>Net purchase</u> = Purchase - purchase return = 111000 - 4500 = 106500

*<u>Direct Expense</u> = Freight Inwards = 3100

Putting all values in formula :- Net Sales = COGS + Gross Profit

179000 = (0 + 106500 + 3100 - closing stock) + 107400

179000 = 106500 + 3100 + 107400 - closing stock

179000 = 217000 - closing stock

closing stock = 217000 - 179000

closing stock = 38000
