Answer:

Given that the market for fertilizer is perfectly competitive. Since the firms in the market are making economic losses the price of the fertilizer must be less than the average total cost.

Thus, the correct answer is:

  • The price of fertilizer must be less than average total cost)

Given graph shows the cost curves faced by a typical firm, demand for fertilizer and possible price and supply curve.

If the firms in the market are producing output but are making economic losses then point PS illustrates the situation for a typical firm in the market, and S2 indicates the corresponding supply curve.

This is because at point P2 the price is greater than the average variable cost, less than the average total cost and equal to marginal cost.

Assuming that there is no change in demand or firm's cost curves the following will happen in the long run:

Thus the correct answer is:

  • The price of fertilizer will increase.  
  • Average total cost will decrease.

Answer:

The cost of goods sold using the LIFO menthod is;

d. $3,580

Explanation:

Last in First Out (LIFO) method is an inventory method where the recently purchased good is sold first. This means that when accounting for the cost of goods sold, we use the unit cost of the goods that were purchased recently. In our case;

1 Beginning Inventory 150 units @ $10.00

5 Purchase 220 units @ $12.00

10 Sales 140 units @ $20.00

15 Purchase 100 units @ $13.00

24 Sales 150 units @ $21.00

<em>Step 1: Determine total number of units sold;</em>

Total number of units sold=number of sales on May 24+number of sales on May 10

where;

number of sales on May 24=150 units

number of sales on May 10=140 units

replacing;

Total number of units sold=(150+140)=290 units

Total number of units sold=290 units

<em>Step 2: Determine total cost of goods sold</em>

The first 100 units sold were each sold at $13

The remaining 190 units were each sold at $12

Total cost of goods sold=(100×13)+(190×12)=(1,300+2,280)

Total cost of goods sold=$3,580
