Answer:

B) average total cost must be rising

Explanation:

Marginal cost is the rate at which total variable cost increases when one more unit is produces.

So when marginal cost is larger than average cost, it means that total average costs must be increasing.

For example, we have the following production costs:

total costs = $100
units produced = 20 units
total average costs = $5 per unit

If the marginal cost of producing 1 more unit is $6, then the total costs will be $106 and the total average cost will be $5.05 per unit (= $106 / 21 units).

Answer:

The total stockholder's equity at the end of the year will be $352,000.

Explanation:

The issue of common stock at $7/share= 14,000*$7=$98,000

The issue of common stock at $8/share= 28,000*$8=$224,000

Purchase of treasury stock= 4000*$10=$40,000

The total stockholder's equity

=$98,000+$224,000+$140,000- $70,000-$40,000

The common stock of the P.U.T.T. Corporation has been trading in a narrow price range for the past month, and you are convinced

mariarad [96]

Answer:

A) according to put call parity:

price of put option = call option - stock price + [future value / (1 + risk free rate)ⁿ]

put = $8.89 - $120 + [$120 / (1 + 8%)¹/⁴] = $8.89 - $120 +$117.71 = $6.60

B) you have to purchase both a put and call option ⇒ straddle

the total cost of the investment = $8.89 + $6.60 = $15.496, this way you can make a profit if the stock price increases higher than $120 + $6.60 = $126.60 or decreases below than $120 - $6.60 = $113.40

mote1985 [20]

Answer: The contracting of physical distribution tasks to third parties who do not have managerial authority within the marketing channel is known as outsourcing.

Explanation: Outsourcing can be a great move for many companies because often times they are able to receive the product cheaper through cheaper labor or have a supplier that focuses on just that one thing develop it better. Outsourcing allows someone who is better skilled in a particular area make a good or act on a service rather than the initial company.

Compute the cost assigned to ending inventory using (a) FIFO, (b) LIFO, (c) weighted average, and (d) specific identification. F

masha68 [24]

Answer:

Closing Units = (710 units - 490 units)= 220 units

a) FIFO : closing inventory = $14,040

Mar 18 purchase 20 *$62 =$1,240

Mar 25 purchase 200 *$64 = $12,800

b) LIFO : closing inventory = $12,780

Mar 1 opening = 90 * $52 =$4,680

Mar 18 purchase = 110 * $62 = $6,820

Mar 25 purchase = 20*$64 =1,280

c) Weighted Average Method (WAM) :

WAM= (Opening cost + purchases cost)/(opening units +units purchased)

= ($7,800+$14,250)/(150+250) = $55.125 cost before Mar 9 sale

WAM(after the first sale) = ($4,961.25 +$6,820 + $12,800)/(90+110+200)

= $61.45

Closing Inventory = $61.45*220 =$13,519

d) Specific Identification :Closing Inventory = $13,070

Mar 01 opening = 60 *$52 =$3,120

Mar 5 Purchase = 30*$57 =$1,710

Mar 18 Purchase = 40*$62 =$2,480

Mar 25 Purchase = 90*$64 =$5,760

Explanation:

The Question is incomplete. I have provided the missing part of the question below.

Marina CMI [18]

This is a mixture of both. You may lose a customer if you don't but most likely you will still have enough to keep moving forward with your career so I would say False
