As a member of the Federal Reserve Board, in an inflationary situation I would suggest a change in the federal funds rate that would be accomplished by raising the base interest rate of the US economy. This would make bonds more attractive and people would stop consuming to invest in public debt securities. In addition, raising interest rates would discourage credit, causing banks to lend less. Since inflation is a monetary phenomenon caused by the excess of currency in circulation, these measures would have a downward effect on inflation, as they reduce the amount of money in circulation in the economy.

There is a fixed cost of $50,000 to start a production process. Once the process has begun, the variable cost per unit is $25. T
dsp73

Answer:

$50,000 + $25x

Explanation:

Given that,

Fixed cost to start a production process = $50,000

Variable cost per unit = $25

Revenue per unit is projected to be $45

Therefore,

Let the number of units produced be x,

The total cost function is as follows:

Total cost = Fixed cost + Variable cost

                 = $50,000 + (Variable cost per unit × Number of units)

                 = $50,000 + $25x

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

$2,338

Explanation:

For computing the ending inventory, first we have to determine the average cost per unit, then ending inventory units which are shown below:

= (Beginning inventory units × price per unit +  first purchase inventory units × price per unit + second purchase inventory units × price per unit + third purchase inventory units × price per unit) ÷ (Beginning inventory units + one purchase inventory units + second purchase inventory units + third purchase inventory units)

= (11 units × $51 + 15 units × $53 + 21 units × $55 + 17 units × $57) ÷ (11 units + 15 units + 21 units + 17 units)

= ($561 + $795 + $1,155 + $969 ) ÷ (64 units)

= ($3,480) ÷ (64 units)

= $54.375 per unit

Now the ending inventory units would be

= Available units for sale - sale units

= 64 units - 21 units

= 43 units

Now the ending inventory would be

= Ending inventory units × average cost per unit

= 43 units × $54.375 per unit

= $2,338

The second entry to be posted is as:

Costs of goods sold A/c....................Dr   $4,000

       Merchandise inventory A/c...................Cr   $4,000

The cost of the goods sold amounts to $4,000. So, the account of COGS is debited and it is against the inventory. Therefore, the merchandise inventory is credited.
