Answer:

C. the MC curve passes through the minimum point of the ATC curve.

Explanation:

Marginal cost is the cost of producing additional unit, it is upward sloping as generally the cost that is additional as it tends to increase with increase in output.

Whereas Average Total Cost is a U shaped curve, it basically starts from a high point and then tends to decrease as the increase in number of units with constant fixed cost tends to decrease the average, but ultimately after it reaches its lowest point it tends to increase because now to produce units, there is extra cost required.

The Marginal Cost Curve touches the Average Total Cost curve at its lowest.

guapka [62]

Answer:

$(0.5 \times 8q_2)+q_2=100\\\\5q_2=100\\\\q_2=20$

since $q_2 = 20$

$q_1 = 8*20\\\\q_1=160$

Explanation:

U(q₁ q₂)

$q_1^{0.8}q_2^{0.2}\\\\P_1= \$0.5 \ P_2=\$1 \ Y=100$

Budget law can be given by

$P_1q_1+P_2q_2=Y\\\\0.5q_1+q_2=100$

Lagrangian function can be given by

$L=q_1^{0.8}q_2^{0.2}+ \lambda (100-0.5q_1-q_2)$

First order condition csn be given by

$\frac{dL}{dq} =0.8q_1^{-0.2}q_2^{0.2}-0.5 \lambda=0\\\\0.5 \lambda=0.8q_1^{-0.2}q_2^{0.2}---(i)$

$\frac{dL}{dq} =0.2q_1^{0.8}q_2^{-0.8}- \lambda=0\\\\ \lambda=0.2q_1^{0.8}q_2^{-0.8}---(ii)$

$\frac{dL}{d \lambda} =100-0.5q_1-q_2=0\\\\0.5q_1+q_2=100---(iii)$

From eqn (i) and eqn (ii) we have

$\frac{0.5 \lambda}{\lambda} =\frac{0.8q_1^{-0.2}q_2^{0.2}}{0.2q_1^{0.8}q_2^{-0.8}} \\\\0.5=\frac{4q_2}{q_1}\\\\q_1=8q_2}$

Putting $q_1=8q_2$ in euqtion (iii) we have

$(0.5 \times 8q_2)+q_2=100\\\\5q_2=100\\\\q_2=20$

since $q_2 = 20$

$q_1 = 8*20\\\\q_1=160$

Garza Corporation has two production departments, Casting and Customizing. The company uses a job-order costing system and compu

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

d. $73,500

Explanation:

The computation of the estimated total manufacturing overhead for the customizing department is shown below:

= Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost + Variable manufacturing overhead cost

where,

the variable manufacturing overhead cost = Customized Direct labor-hours × Variable manufacturing overhead per direct labor-hour

= 7,000 units × $5

= $35,000

And, the Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost is $38,500

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the answer would be equal to

= $38,500 + ($7,000 hours × $5 per hour)

= $38,500 + $35,000

= $73,500

Answer:

d. $1,875 unfavorable

Explanation:

Direct material quantity variance is computed as;

= (AQ - SQ) × SP

AQ = Actual quantity = 6,300 units

SQ = Standard quantity = 14,200 / 2 = 7,300 units

SP = Standard price = $0.80

Direct material quantity variance

= (6,300 - 7,300) × 0.80

= -1,000 × $0.80

= -1,875 unfavorable
