You can now apply this analysis to production costs. For a U-shaped average total cost (ATC) curve, when the marginal cost curve

is below the average total cost curve, the average total cost must be . Also, when the marginal cost curve is above the average total cost curve, the average total cost must be . Therefore, the marginal cost curve intersects the average total cost curve .

Answer:

The correct answer is: falling; rising; at its minimum point.

Explanation:

The average total cost is the ratio of the total cost incurred in the production process and the level of output. It initially decreases sue to economies of scale. But after reaching a certain level it starts rising because of diseconomies of scale.  

Marginal cost is the cost of producing each additional unit of output. It is the change in the total cost because of a change in output level by one unit.  

If the marginal cost of producing the last unit is lower than the average cost, producing one more unit will reduce the average cost. So when the marginal cost is below average total cost, ATC is falling.  

Similarly, if the marginal cost of producing the last unit is greater than the average cost, producing one more unit will increase the average cost. So when the marginal cost is above average total cost, ATC is rising.

So, the marginal cost curve must be intersecting ATC at its minimum point.

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

A. The cost of asset being depreciated is $57,000

B.The amount of salvage value is $5,700

Explanation:

Among the above-mentioned methods of depreciation, the only method that never consider salvage value on its computation of depreciation expense is the double declining method. So let’s use this method to work back the exact amount depreciable amount of an asset.

Formula : 100% / life of an asset x 2

100% / 5 x 2 = 40%

Y1 = $22,800/40 = 57,000

so to check if the amount is correct, let’s do the computation of 5-year depreciation.

Y1 57,000 x 40% = 22,800 (same as the given data)

Y2 (57,000 - 22,800) x 40% =13,680

Y3 (57,000 - 22,800 - 13,680) x 40% = 8,208

Y4 (57,000-22,800 - 13,680 - 8,208) x 40% = 4,925

Y5 (57,000 -22,800 - 13,680 - 8,208 - 4,925) x 40% = 1,687* (adjusted based on the depreciable amount)

B. To compute the salvage value, we simply deduct the total depreciation from the cost of an asset.

57,000 - 51,300 = 5,700

To check:

(57,000 - 5,700) / 5 years = 10,260

Andrews [41]

Answer:

b. $20,000

Explanation:

Goodwill = Investment in Subsidiary - (Asset With book value - Liability with book value) - (Fair value of Asset - Book value of Asset)

Goodwill = $95,000 - ($86,400 - $15,000) - ($90,000 - $86,400)

Goodwill = $95,000 - $71,400 - $3,600

Goodwill = $20,000

So, parent should record goodwill on this purchase of $20,000

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

He should not contribute the property to the partnership.

Explanation:

There is an ensuing loss if the partner contributes the property to the partnership instead of a gain.  Partnerships recognize the basis of contributed capital.  They usually compare the fair market value with the book value to determine if a loss has been incurred or a gain made. However, the tax consequences of the contributed property will be allocated to the partner making the property contribution.
