Economics students often confuse (a) diminishing returns related to the variable factors of production and (b) diseconomies of s

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

Marginal Product:

The marginal product of an input that is being used in the production process of a good or services is the extra output generated by using the extra unit of that input. Alternatively, the marginal product is the output generated by the last unit of the input added only.

Explanation:

Diminishing marginal returns means that as you adds more units of that input, the marginal product declines. That is, each additional of extra unit of the input results in decreased and less additional output. For example, the marginal product of labor usually decreases as the amount of labor increases because there is a fixed amount of capital used in the short run, so when labor increases, the capital per unit of labor decreases, which results in each and every extra working being less productive than the previous one.
Dis-economies of scale, whereas, results in an increase in the average cost of production as the number of units increases. That's why diminishing marginal returns refers to production, and dis-economies of scale refers to the average cost. Dis-economies of scale often happened because the production levels get high, there is less management on each employee, resulting in each employee having less motivation to work as hard due to lack of production making it hard to notice that change.So, it may results in the average worker's productivity decreasing, causing the per-unit cost to rise.

Inventory records for Marvin Company revealed the following: Date Num of units unit cost Mar. 1 Beginning Inventory 1000 7.20 Ma

swat32

Answer:

Ending inventory= $5,040

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Beginning Inventory= 1000 units for $7.20

Mar. 10: Purchase= 600 units for $7.25

Mar. 16: Purchase= 800 units for $7.30

Mar. 23: Purchase= 600 units for $7.35

Marvin sold 2,300 units.

Under the LIFO inventory method, the ending inventory cost is calculated using the first units incorporated to inventory.

Ending inventory in units= total units - units sold

Ending inventory in units= 3,000 - 2,300= 700 units

Ending inventory= 700*7.2= $5,040

At the end of April, Cavy Company had completed Job 766 and 765. According to the individual job cost sheets the information is

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Job 765:

Direct material= $5,670

Direct labor= $3,500

Machine Hours= 27

Job 766:

Direct material= $8,900

Direct labor= $4,775

Machine Hours= 44

Job 765 produced 152 units, and Job 766 consisted of 250 units.

Assuming that the predetermined overhead rate is applied by using machine hours at a rate of $200 per hour.

Costs sheet:

Job 765:

Direct material= 5,670

Direct labor= 3,500

Allocated overhead= 200*27= 5,400

Total cost= 14,570

Unitary cost= 14,570/152= $95.85

Job 766:

Direct material= 8,900

Direct labor= 4,775

Allocated overhead= 200*44= 8,800

Total cost= 22,475

Unitary cost= 22,475/250= $89.9

Tercer reports the following for one of its products. Direct materials standard (4 lbs. $2 per lb.) Actual direct materials used

Natalka [10]

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Direct materials standard (4 lbs. $2 per lb.)= $8 per finished unit

Actual direct materials used (AQ)= 300,000

Actual finished units produced= 60,000

Actual cost of direct materials used= $535,000

To calculate the direct material price and quantity variance, we need to use the following formulas:

Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity

Direct material price variance= (2 - 1.783)*300,000

Direct material price variance= $65,100 favorable

Actual price= 535,000 / 300,000= $1.783

Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price

Direct material quantity variance= (4*60,000 - 300,000)*2

Direct material quantity variance= $120,000 unfavorable
