Answer:

c. Fixed Cost = $300

Explanation:

Because marginal cost is constant we can find the variable cost per unit and then subtract the total variable cost from the total cost in order to find the fixed cost. The firms total cost increase $300 (from 1500 to 1800) when output increases by 10 units (from 40 to 50), so the variable cost per unit is 300/10=30.

Now to calculate the total variable cost we will multiply variable cost per unit by the number of units.

50*30= 1500

Now we will subtract 1500 from 1800 in order to find the fixed cost.

1800-1500=300

Fixed cost is $300.

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

Variable cost per unit = $42 per unit

Total fixed cost = $107,730

Total cost for 1,300 units = $162,330

Explanation:

Mathematically;

Variable cost per unit=[Total cost at highest level-Total cost at lowest level]/(Highest level-Lowest level)

From the question;

Total cost at highest level = 223,440

Total cost at lowest level = 143,640

Highest level = 2755

lowest level = 855

Substituting these values, we have;

Variable cost per unit = (223,440-143,640)/(2755-855) = 79,800/1900 = $42 per unit

Fixed costs = Total cost at highest level- ( variable cost per unit * units produced at highest level) = 223,440-(42 * 2755) = 107,730

Total cost for 1,300 units

Total cost = Fixed cost + Variable cost per unit(number of units)

= $107,730 + 42(1,300) = $162,330

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

Production= 26,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

budgeted sales of 23,000 units, targeted ending finished goods inventory of 9,000 units, and beginning finished goods inventory of 6,000 units.

<u>To calculate the production required, we need to use the following formula:</u>

Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

Production= 23,000 + 9,000 - 6,000

Production= 26,000

16. When filing by subject, which of the following would be filed first? *
andriy [413]

Answer:

C. additional information

Explanation:

When you gather data, the most important thing that you need to fill first is the identity of the subjects.

In business, the data that companies take through questionnaires is made in order to read the market's trends or customers' general preference. In order for the data to be usable, the companies need to be able to differentiate subjects based on different characteristics (such as age, gender, income level, etc). All of this information is filled under the additional information box on every files.

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.

Date Activities Units Acquired at Cost Units Sold at Retail

Mar. 1  Beginning inventory  150 units  $52.00/unit    

Mar. 5  Purchase  250 units  $57.00/unit    

Mar. 9  Sales      310 units  $87.00/unit

Mar. 18  Purchase  110 units  $62.00/unit    

Mar. 25  Purchase  200 units  $64.00/unit    

Mar. 29  Sales      180 units  $97.00/unit

     Totals  710 units   490 units

explain the difference between a change in quantity demanded and a change in demand. Provide a real world example of a factor th
Zina [86]

Answer:

A change in quantity demanded is caused by a change in price only. That is, when price rises quantity demanded falls vise versa

A change in demand occurs when there is a shift in the demand caused by a change in other determinates of demand other than price such as change in income, change in taste and fashion, demographic changes etc.

Explanation:

Real word example of change in demand :

Changing Tastes or Preferences

From 1990 to 2020, the per-person consumption of chicken by Americans rose from 48 pounds per year to 85 pounds per year, and consumption of beef fell from 77 pounds per year to 54 pounds per year, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Changes like these are largely due to movements in taste, which change the quantity of a good demanded at every price: that is, they shift the demand curve for that good, rightward for chicken and leftward for beef.

Simply put it this way> Change in quantity demanded : Price change, quantity demanded change

Change in Demand: Price doesn't change but quantity demanded changes as a result of change in other determinates of demand examples the change in preference
