Answer:
1. 20 units
2. $600
Explanation:
1. 
MC = 4q
Price, P = $80
For maximizing profits,
Marginal cost = Price of the commodity
4q = 80
q = 20 units


= 200 + 800
= 1,000
2. Profit = Total revenue - Total cost
= (Price × Quantity) - TC
= (80 × 20) - $1,000
= $1,600 - $1,000
= $600
3. We know that the firm in the short run will be produce at a point where total revenue is greater than the total variable cost
Average variable cost = variable cost ÷ quantity

= 2Q
MC = 4Q
Here, MC is greater than AVC at any given point.
so in the short run firm will producing short run positive profit.
Answer:
correct option is d. $4800 U
Explanation:
given data
product requiring = 3 direct labor hours
standard rate = $ 16 per direct labor hour
produced using = 8700 direct labor hours
actual payroll = $135720
to find out
labor quantity variance
solution
we get here labor quantity variance that is express as
Direct labor quantity variance = (standard hours worked for actual production - actual hour worked) × standard rate per direct labor hour ...................1
here standard hours worked for actual production will be as
standard hours worked = standard hours required per unit of production × actual units produced
standard hours worked = 3 × 2800
standard hours worked = 8400 hours but we have given actual work hour 8700 direct labor hours
so put all value is equation 1 we get
Direct labor quantity variance = ( 8400 - 8700 ) × $16
Direct labor quantity variance = $4800 unfavorable
so correct option is d. $4800 U

Adminstration cost will be distributed among Janitorial, Groceries and Gifs
we add up the employee hours:
350 + 2690 +160 = 3200
Then, we cross multuply:
190,000 x 350/3200 = 20781.25
190,000 x 2690/3200 = 159718.75
190,000 x 160/3200 = 9500
we add them to their cost and then do the same for Janitorial.
9200+ 800 = 10,000
90781.25 x 9200/10000 = 83518.75
90781.25 x 800/10000 = 7262.5
giving the total cost of the operating departments.
