Suppose that a firm has only one variable input, labor, and firm output is zero when labor is zero. When the firm hires 6 worker

s it produces 90 units of output. Fixed cost of production are $6 and the variable cost per unit of labor is $10. The marginal product of the seventh unit of labor is 4. Given this information, what is the total cost of production when the firm hires 7 workers?

Answer:

Case 1:

When, Labor = 6 ;

Output = 90

Fixed Cost = $6

Variable cost per unit of labor = $10

∴ Total Variable Cost = $10 × 6 = $60

Total cost = Fixed Cost + Total Variable Cost

= $60 + $6

= $66

Case 2:

When, Labor = 7 ;

Let us assume the total output be 'x' , when firm hires 7 workers.

Marginal product( $MP_{L}$ ) of the seventh unit of labor = 4

i.e. $MP_{L}$ = $\frac{\delta TP}{\delta Q}$ = 4

$\frac{\delta TP}{\delta Q}$ = 4

$\frac{(x- 90)}{(7-6)}$ = 4

x = 94

Fixed Cost will remain the same , i.e. $6

Variable cost per unit of labor = $10

∴ Total Variable Cost = $10 × 7 = $70

Total cost = Fixed Cost + Total Variable Cost

= $70 + $6

= $76

3. Correct answer is A, True

4. Correct answer is B, False

5. Correct answer is A, True

6. Correct answer is A, True

Explanation:

1. The correcting entry to correct sale on account recorded to the wrong customer does not involve Accounts receivable account. To correct the entry we have to debit the right customer account and credit the wrong customer account. To further illustrate;

Original entry:

Upon sales:

Debit accounts receivable - customer A $xx

Credit sales $xx

Correcting Entry:

Debit accounts receivable - Customer B $xx

Credit accounts receivable - Customer A $xx

*<em>This is necessary to properly account the balances of the ledger account per customer.</em>

2. Net income increases the corporation's total shareholders' equity. Net income should be closed to Retained Earnings account which is part of the Shareholders' equity section.

3. A Corporation's dividend is a temporary equity account that will be debited upon declaration and will be closed to retained earnings account at the end of the accounting year.

4.The normal account of Purchase Returns and allowances is credit. It is a contra account of Purchases account which has a normal account balance of credit.

5. An entry to general journal accounts payable also affecting vendors' accounts payable ledger. From recognition in general journal, all accounts involving in accounts payable ledger should also be adjusted to properly account the suppliers balances.

6.A Corporation can decide if and when to declare dividend, it should be approved by the the shareholders or by the board of directors depending on the type of dividends that they are going to declare.

Dartmouth Assessment Centre screens and trains employees for a computer assembly firm in Halifax. The progress of all trainees i

alexdok [17]

Answer:

Discourage Torri from continuing. Encourage Julie to continue.

Explanation:

The progress of all trainees is tracked. Those not showing good progress are moved to less demanding programs. This means that there is hope of still doing/getting a job, if they don't pass this test.

REQUIREMENT: By the 10th time doing the test, trainees must be able to complete the task in a maximum of 1 hour.

1st Trainee: Torri Olson-Alves

5 hours on Unit 4; 4 hours on Unit 8

Should Torri be encouraged to continue? NO.

There are 10 units or repetitions in all. If Torri spends 5 hours on Unit 4 and spends 4 hours on Unit 8, then Torri is slow or isn't making much progress. After 4 repetitions, her marginal product only increased by an hour. She most likely won't make it to 1 hour by the 10th repetition.

2nd Trainee: Julie Burgmeier

4 hours on Unit 3; 3 hours on Unit 6

Should Julie be encouraged to continue? YES.

Julie makes a progress of 1 hour after 3 repetitions. We can predict that after another 3 repetitions (on Unit 9) progress would be made again and by Unit 10, she would have met the required benchmark.

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

The set of processes used to get members of an organization to work together to further the interest of the organization is called organizational goals.

The company typically starts out by doing a SWOT (strengths, weakness, opportunities, threats) analysis to determine what is most important for the company to proceed with and prioritize. They then determine what is expected of members of the organization to accurately complete their goals.

A company manufactures and sells blank audiocassette tapes. The weekly fixed cost is $10,000 and it costs $0.40 to produce eac

sasho [114]

Answer:

6251 tapes

Explanation:

Given: fixed cost is $10,000.

Variable cost is $0.40 to produce each tape.

Selling price is $2 per tape.

Lets assume number of tapes to be produced and sold be "x"

We know, Total cost= $Fixed\ cost+ Variable\ cost$

∴ Total cost= $10000+ 0.40\times x$

Total cost= $10000+0.40x$

As given, selling price is $2 per tape.

∴ For attaining break even point, Tota cost = Selling price.

$10000+0.40x= 2x$

Solving the equation to find the value of x

⇒ $10000+0.40x= 2x$

Subtracting both side by 0.4x

⇒ $10000= 1.60x$

Dividing both side by 1.60

⇒ $x= \frac{10000}{1.60}$

∴ x= 6250

Hence, number of tapes must be sold and purchased is 6250 to attain break even in the business, however selling one more tapes will get profit is 6251.
