Answer:

Q        Fixed       Variable    Total    Marginal    Aver.     Aver.     Aver.

<u>           Costs        Costs         Cost    Cost           FC         VC         TC      </u>

0          100             0              100         -               -             -             -

1           100           50               150       150           100         50         150

2          100           70               170         20            50         35          85

3          100           90               190        20           33.33      30        63.33

4          100          140               240       50            25          35          60

5          100         200               300       60            20          40          60

6          100         360              460      160           16.67       60        76.67

The firm's profit in this case is <u>-$360</u>.

True or False: This was a wise decision. ⇒ <u>False</u>

Depends on the situation and which costs are avoidable if the company shuts down operations. If it produces 4 cases, the losses reduce from -$100 to -$40, but the contribution margin is positive since revenues exceed variable costs by $60. But under the current price level, the company will not be able to generate profits unless it increases its sales price or decreases its fixed costs.

Vaguely remembering his introductory economics course, the company's chief financial officer tells the CEO it is better to produce 1 case of ball bearings, because marginal revenue equals marginal cost at that quantity.

At this level of production, the firm's profit is <u>-$100</u>.

True or False: This is the best decision the firm can make. ⇒ <u>False</u>

Accounting profit is maximized at 4 cases since marginal cost ($50) = sales price ($50). At this point the total profit is -$40.

Falcon Co. produces a single product. Its normal selling price is $26 per unit. The variable costs are $16 per unit. Fixed costs
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

Effect on income= $10,290 increase

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Falcon can handle the special order, and for this order, a variable selling cost of <u>$2 per unit would be eliminated.</u>

<u>Because it is a special order that would not affect current sales, we won't take into consideration the fixed costs.</u>

<u></u>

<u>To calculate the effect on income, we need to use the following formula:</u>

Effect on income= Number of units sold*unitary contribution margin

Effect on income= 1,470*(21 - 14)

Effect on income= $10,290 increase

Net working capital is defined as current assets divided by current liabilities.
Ahat [919]

Answer:

The answer is False.

Explanation:

False, because the net working capital is determined by subtracting all the current liabilities from the current assets. But in the question, it says net working capital is determined by dividing the current assets with current liabilities which is wrong. Therefore, if the current assent is 10000 dollars and current liabilities are 5000 dollars then net working capital is 10000 – 5000 = $5000.

You have been pricing an MP3 player in several stores. Three stores have the identical price of $500. Each store charges 24 perc
Alja [10]

Answer:

Store A = $9

Store B = $8

Store C = $10

Explanation:

Finance charges calculated by average daily balance finance charges basis, adjusted balance method finance charges basis and Previous Balance Method Finance Charge basis is calculated as follows

Store A:

Average Daily Balance Finance Charge basis = ($500 + $400) /2

Average Daily Balance Finance Charge basis = $450

Finance Charges = $450 x (24% / 12)

Finance Charges = $9

Store B:

Adjusted Balance Method Finance Charge basis = $500 - $100

Adjusted Balance Method Finance Charge basis = $400

Finance Charges = $400 x (24% / 12)

Finance Charges = $8

Store C:

Previous Balance Method Finance Charge basis = $500 - $0

Previous Balance Method Finance Charge basis = $800

Finance Charges = $500 x (24% / 12)

Finance Charges = $10

Anderson Corporation has purchased a group of assets for $16,600.
Sati [7]

Answer:

C.$ 8 comma 798$8,798

Explanation:

Given,

Purchase value = $16,600

Considering the relative values

Relative value of land = $6,500

Total relative value = 6500 + 2400 + 3400

                                = $12,300

Using the relative value to allocate the purchased value of the land

Purchased cost of land = (6500/12300) × 16,600

                                       = 0.53 × 16,600

                                      = $8,798

The amount that would be debited to the Land is $8,798 Option C
