Answer: Third

Explanation:

Diminishing returns to labor refers to the phenomenon where every additional worker leads to an increase in production at a decreasing rate.

Using the scenario described, when there was only one employee the company could mow 4 lawns a day. They added a 2nd worker and that figure went to 9 lawns a day which is an increase of FIVE.

When they added a 3rd worker, the figure again went up but only to 12 which is an increase of THREE only as opposed to the last increase of FIVE.

After the third worker therefore, there was an increase but at a smaller rate.

Note: There are two requirements in this question as follows:

(1) What is the total amount of product costs?

(2) What is the total amount of period costs?

These two are answered as follows:

(1) What is the total amount of product costs?

Product cost can be described as the expenses that are incurred in order to produce a product. These types of expenses are charged to cost of goods sold and include direct materials, direct labor, factory overhead, and consumable production supplies.

Therefore, the total amount of product costs of Choco Chocolata can be calculated as follows:

Choco Chocolata

<u>Details                                                                     Amount ($)   </u>

Utilities for the bakery                                                  2,100

Paper used in packaging product                                  180

Salaries and wages in the bakery                            23,500

Cookie ingredients                                                    43,500

Bakery labor fringe benefits                                        1,300

Therefore, the total amount of product costs is $79,430.

(2) What is the total amount of period costs?

Period costs are costs that are related to passage of time but cannot not be charged to the cost of goods sold.

Therefore, the total amount of period costs of Choco Chocolata can be calculated as follows:

Choco Chocolata

Computation of Total Period Costs

<u>Details                                               Amount ($)   </u>

Administrative costs                             2,300
