Answer:

Total utility is the total amount of satisfaction derived from consuming a certain amount of a good while marginal utility is the additional satisfaction gained from consuming an additional unit of the good.

Explanation:

As consumption increases, total utility increases but marginal utility would begin to diminish after a certain point is reached as a result of diminishing marginal utility.

The Law Of Diminishing Marginal Utility states that all else equal as consumption increases the marginal utility derived from each additional unit falls.

Answer:

C) Total utility is the total amount of satisfaction derived from consuming a certain amount of a good while marginal utility is the additional satisfaction gained from consuming an additional unit of the good.

Explanation:

Total utility is the overall satisfaction a consumer derives from consuming a particular good or service. Each unit of good or service contains its own marginal utility. Total utility sums up the marginal utilities of such items. The elementary purpose of a consumer, is to derive the largest amount of utility with least expenses.

  In the law of diminishing marginal utility, it states that as more units of a single good or service are consumed, additional satisfaction known as marginal utility drops. The first good or service consumed has the highest marginal utility while the ones that follow it reduces rapidly.

  Marginal utility is the amount of satisfaction derived from consumption of additional units of a good or service. This is used to determine how much a consumer is willing to purchase. Satisfaction levels of a consumer are easily identified through marginal utility in order to influence the consumer's purchase decision. There are two cases involving marginal utility:- Positive marginal utility and Negative marginal utility. The positive marginal utility is said to happen when there is an increase I'm total utility through the consumption of an additional item while Negative marginal utility happens when total utility is decreased through the consumption of an additional item.

umka21 [38]

Answer:

Three things:

-Under processing before canning

-Spoilage before canning

-entrance of water through can seams during cooling

Explanation:

The preservation process is aimed at reducing the rate of spoilage of food products over time.

When adequately processed a time can be given during which the food product is still not spoilt. For example 1 year from date of canning. After this period there is a high possibility of food spoilage.

If a can of peas was bought from a grocery and it is spoilt it is either the peas were not well processed, there was spoilage before commercial canning, or water entered when cooling during canning

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

c. the average cost method.

Explanation:

Windsor INC. purchased inventory during the month of June as follows:

June 1 129 units at $890

June 10 172 units at $1340

June 15 172 units at $1440

June 28 129 units at $ 1140

and at the end of the period, there are 180 units on hand.

In order to get highest gross profit the closing sock should be the highest, accordingly the value of inventory at hand should as as follows under different method explain below:

Under FIFO method the inventory first enter into the enterprise is available for sale at first so the inventory of 180 units at end should be values at the last price mentioned in the question i.e $1140, therefore the value amounts to $1140*180 units=$205200

Under LIFO method, likewise the last entered inventory will be available for sale and the inventory at the end of period will be valued at the price at which the inventory first bought i.e $890, therefore the value amounts to 180 units*$890=$160200

Under Average cost method the effect of differential price is distributed over the quantity bough during a period so that the company remains in ineffective condition during the period from the price change

Average cost per unit= (129*$890 +172*$1340+ 172*$1440+129*$1140)/602 units

=$1229.29

and for the 180 units the value amounts to 180*$122.29=$221271.429

so, as per explanation given above, it is certain that the highest value will be in average cost method.

The correct option is - c. the average cost method.

Compute the selling price if variable costs are ​$16 per unit. Determine the formula used to calculate the selling price.
dezoksy [38]

Answer: $40

Explanation:

Selling price can be calculated through the contribution margin equation;

Contribution margin = (Selling Price - Variable cost) / Selling Price

Contribution margin = Fixed costs/break-even point

= 660,000/1,100,000

= 60%

60% = (Selling Price - 16) / Selling Price

Selling price * 60% = Selling price - 16

16 = Selling price - (0.6 * selling price)

16 = Selling price * 40%

16/40% = Selling price

Selling price = $40
