Answer:

The correct answer is option a.

Explanation:

The monthly total revenue is $5,000.

The marginal cost of producing 19th, 20th and 21st unit is $200.

Laura will earn profit if the price is able to cover marginal cost.

Total revenue is the product of price and quantity.

Price of cake when Laura produces 19 units

= \frac{TR}{Q}

= \frac{5,000}{19}

= $263.15

Price of cake when Laura produces 20 units

= \frac{TR}{Q}

= \frac{5,000}{20}

= $250

Price of cake when Laura produces 21 units

= \frac{TR}{Q}

= \frac{5,000}{19}

= $238.09

So we see that the price is able to cover marginal cost till 21st units, so Laura should produce more than 20 units and go on producing till price becomes equal to marginal cost.

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

Assets = $ 55650

Liability =8300

Owner's equity=47350

Liability and Owner's equity.=8300 +47350=$55650

Explanation:

Using The basic equation we add the transaction to arrive at the actual amounts.

Assets = Liabilities + Owner's Equity

1.   50,000=                    50,000

Cash +Assets = Liabilities + Owner's Equity

2.    35,800 +14,200=                 50,000

Cash +Assets = Liabilities + Owner's Equity- Rent Expense

3) 33600+ 14200 =                     50,000 - 2,200

Cash +Canoes = Liabilities + Owner's Equity- Rent Expense

4) 33600+ 14200+ 4900= 4900 +  50,000 - 2,200

Cash +Canoes = Liabilities + Owner's Equity- Rent Expense

5) 33600+ 19,100 + 3,400= 4900+ 3400 +  50,000 - 2,200

Cash +Canoes + Office Equip = Liabilities + Owner's Equity- Rent Expense

6) 33225+22500+ 375= 8,300 +  50,000 - 2,200

Cash +Canoes + Office Equip+ A/ R = Liabilities + Owner's Equity- Rent Expense

7) 33225+22500+ 375+ 1350 = 8,300 +  50,000 - 2,200+ 1350

Cash +Canoes + Office Equip+ A/ R = Liabilities + Owner's Equity- Rent Expense- drawings

8) 31425+22500+ 375+ 1350 = 8,300 +  50,000 - 2,200+ 1350-1800

We get

Cash = 31425

Kayak And Canoe 22500

Office Equipment= 375

Accounts Receivable= 1350

Accounts Payable = 8300

Capital less Drawings= 50,000- 1800= 48,200(850)= 47350

Revenue- Expenses = 1350 -2200= (850)

Assets = Cash +Kayak And Canoe +Office Equipment+ Accounts Receivable = 31425 +22500 + 375 +1350= $ 55650

Liability =8300

Owner's equity=47350

Liability and Owner's equity.=8300 +47350=$55650
