Answer:
c. Marginal cost is $8, and average total cost is $5.
Explanation:
Marginal cost of a firm is the cost difference in producing an additional unit of a firm's output. The extra amount result from the an extra unit of output produced. It is derived by calculating the difference between the total cost and dividing it by the difference in output i.e change in TC/ change in output
In the question, The change in TC is calculated as $5008 - $5000 = $8 and the change in quantity is 1001 - 1000 = 1
Therefore 8/ 1= 8 marginal cost is = $8
on the other hand, Average total cost is the cost per unit of output i.e the cost of a commodity out of all the products produced by a firm. it is calculated by dividing the total cost by the total number of output
In the question above, The total cost is $5,000 and the Total output is 1,000
$5,000/ 1000 =$ 5
similarly, when the total output increased to 1001 and the total cost rises to $5008 the Average cost still remains at$ 5
prove: 5008/ 1001 = 5.0002 which is approximately equal to 5.
therefore the correct answer is c. Marginal cost is $8, and average total cost is $5.
Answer:
Instructions are listed below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
For specific identification, ending inventory consists of 390 units, where 370 are from the January 30 purchase, 5 are from the January 20 purchase, and 15 are from beginning inventory.
We weren't provided with enough information to answer the requirement. But, I can give you the answer using simulated numbers.
<u>Under specific identification, the company calculates the ending inventory and cost of goods sold with the exact units that were sold or remain in inventory.</u>
For example:
Beginning inventoy= $15 per unit
Jan. 30: $17 per unit
Jan. 20: $16 per unit
Ending inventory= 370*17 + 5*16 + 15*15= $6,595
Answer: a. $120,000.
Explanation:
The inventory lost can be calculated by;
= Opening inventory + Purchases - Cost of Goods sold
Cost of goods sold = Sales - Markup on price
= 600,000 - (600,000 * 25/125)
= 600,000 - 120,000
= $480,000
Inventory lost = 100,000 + 500,000 - 480,000
= $120,000
