Answer:

The question is missing the amount of output units that each additional unit of labor generates, but we can calculate how many units each additional unit of labor should produce in order to maximize profit.

In order for a firm to maximize its profit, the marginal revenue product (MRP) = marginal cost (MC).

MRP = output units per additional unit of labor x price per unit = U x $9

MC = $700

U x $9 = $700

U = $700 / $9 = 77.78, so we round up to 78 units

In order to maximize profit, each additional unit of labor must generate 78 additional units of output.

Consider the following: Alex is one of the leading widget producers in the country. His total costs amount to $10,000, total fix
Lilit [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is 20 units.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Total cost = $10,000

Total fixed cost = $2,000

Average variable cost = $400

So, Total variable cost = Total cost - Total fixed cost

= $10,000 - $2,000 = $8,000

So, we can calculate the total number of widgets producing by using following formula:

Units producing = Total variable cost  ÷ average variable cost

= $8,000 ÷ $400

= 20 units

telo118 [61]

Answer:

The correct answer is d. accounting cycle.

Explanation:

The accounting cycle, also known as the accounting process or registration flow, is the period in which the Company chronologically and reliably records each transaction in its respective Daily Book in order to analyze, prepare and prepare financial information.

The accounting process is made up of all the steps that must be followed since an accounting event occurs until it is introduced into the system and, therefore, is reflected in the financial statements.

The stages of the accounting cycle begin with the identification of the accounting fact, such as with a sale of merchandise. The next step is to generate an accounting document that supports this transaction and allows it to be reflected in quantified accounting in monetary units and with a specific date.

Once this document is generated (delivery note or invoice) the operation is recorded in the Daily Book. At the end of the accounting cycle, which is usually from January to December, the transactions are transferred to the general ledger. After some regularizations (amortizations, reclassifications between short term and long term, calculation of the result, etc.) the accounting is closed to generate the final financial statements.
