Answer:

$339

Explanation:

Computation of the given data are as follows:

Income before tax in FIFO = $15,730

Tax rate = 30%

So, the Tax amount for FIFO = $15,730 × 30%

= $4,719

And, Income before tax in LIFO = $14,600

Tax rate = 30%

So, the Tax amount for LIFO = $14,600 × 30%

= $4,380

So, the difference in tax amount = Tax amount for FIFO  - Tax amount for LIFO

= $4,719 - $4,380

= $339

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

The correct answer is false.

Explanation:

A firm incurs both variable cost and fixed cost in the short run. If the firm is able to cover the variable cost in the short run it will continue operating. However, if it is not able to cover its variable cost it will stop operating.  

So, if the demand falls such that total revenue is not able to cover total cost but the variable cost is being covered, the firm will not stop production.  

In the long run, all the costs are variable. So when the revenue is not able to cover cost, the firms will stop operating.
