Assume that both labor and capital exhibit diminishing returns. Suppose you can hire an additional unit of labor for $10, and sh

anygoal [31]

Answer:

b) Nothing, because you are already minimizing cost

Explanation:

cost of producing one additional unit by hiring more workers = $10 / 50 units = $0.20 per unit

cost of producing one additional unit by buying the machine = $200 / 1,000 units = $0.20 per unit

Since labor exhibits a diminishing return, the next unit of labor will produce less than 50 units. This means that if you want to increase production, you should buy the machine.

Using the same logic, the previous units of labor were able to produce more than 50 units, which means that the average total cost was lower using labor than the machine. So if the company's concern is to minimize costs, then they are already doing so.

Answer:

Instructions are listed below

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price= $215

Units in beginning inventory 0

Units produced 9,800

Units sold 9,300

Units in ending inventory 500

Variable costs per unit:

Direct materials $ 61

Direct labor 33

Variable manufacturing overhead 10

Variable selling and administrative 15

Total variable cost per unit $ 119

Fixed costs:

Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 274,400

Fixed selling and administrative 510,000

Total fixed costs $ 784,400

Absorption costing includes fixed manufacturing overhead in the cost per unit.

A) Unitary fixed manufacturing overhead= 274,400/9800 units= $28

Unitary cost= Direct materials + Direct labor + Variable manufacturing overhead + fixed manufacturing overhead

Unitary cost= 61 + 33 + 10 + 28= $132

B) Income statement:

Sales= 9300*215= $1,999,500

COGS= 132*9300=$1,227,600

Gross profit= $771,900

Total selling and administrative expense= 510,000 + 15*9300= 649,500
