Answer:

The correct answer is A will always be equal to or less than B.

Explanation:

In general terms, inventory is valued in terms of cost. But there must be a deviation from the cost basis of the inventory valuation and it must be reduced below cost when the utility of the goods has decreased and its sale product or item value will be less than its cost.

The decrease in the value of inventory below cost can be due to different causes, such as physical deterioration, obsolescence, a drop in the price level, etc. In these situations, the inventory is recorded at its market value. The difference in value (cost-to-market value) is recognized as a loss for the current period. It should be understood that the market value of the inventory must be estimated since the inventory has in fact not been sold. As a general rule, the concept of market value is used in terms of the current replacement cost of inventory, that is, what it will currently cost to purchase or manufacture the item.

The dollars available from each unit of sales to cover fixe
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Variable costs are part of direct expenses incurred in the production of goods meant for sales. Variable costs have a direct and proportionate relationship with the output level. An increase in output level increases variable costs. Examples of variable costs are packaging and raw materials.

The contribution margin is the dollar amount available from the sale of each unit to cater for fixed costs and profits. It is calculated by subtracting variable costs from the selling price. The contribution margin is used in determining the break-even point and the output level required to achieve desired profits.

In order to break even, they would need to sell at least 5,000 units

Break even point is calculated by the formula:

Fixed costs÷(selling price -variable costs per unit)

i.e.

100,000 ÷ (60-40) = 5,000

Anything they sell above this number will start to produce profits for the company
