Answer:
either the selling price decreases or the total output decreases
Explanation:
The firm's income statement:
total sales revenue = $120,000
minus total variable costs = ($72,000)
<u>minus total fixed costs = ($15,000) </u>
net profit = $33,000
The long run equilibrium for a monopolistically competitive firm occurs when the firm is making no economic profit since it is charging a price = average total cost.
In this case the average total cost per unit = $6 per unit + ($15,000 / 12,000 units) = $7.25 per unit
Since the firm is currently charging a higher selling price than average total cost ($10 > $7.25), one or two things might happen in the long run:
- selling price will decrease
- output will decrease
Answer:
The statement is: True.
Explanation:
The matching principle of the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (<em>GAAP</em>) states that the expenses a company incurs during a period must match with the revenues those expenses were incurred during the same period. This principle is usually implemented with the accrual accounting method leaving in clear that expenses are incurred to generate profit.
Answer: D. I, II, and III
Explanation:
If expecting a price deduction, you can buy Put options. These give you the right to sell an underlying stock at a certain price regardless of what the price in the market is. If you purchased this, you can sell your stock above market value if it does go down.
You can sell write call options for a fee where you give the buyer the right to buy your shares at a certain price in future. This is only valuable if prices rise so as you are expecting prices to fall, you could make a premium on the call option contract fees if prices fall without having to sell off your shares.
Hedging with puts is better than short calls if you are expecting a major stock price decline as the opportunity for profit is higher.
Answer:
Ending inventory as at 31 December = $1500
Explanation:
First-In-First-Out is a method of inventory valuation whereby the stock that comes in first, is used first. This is common for inventory consisting of perishables, such as vegetables where if not used/sold soon, it would be wasted.
Jan 31: Purchases = $20 x 100 units = $2000
<em><u>Remaining inventory:</u></em>
$20 x 100 units = $2000
Feb 28: Purchases = $30 x 100 units = $3000
<em><u>Remaining inventory:</u></em>
$20 x 100 units = $2000
$30 x 100 units = $3000
<em><u>Sales = 150 units x $45:</u></em>
$20 x 100 units = $2000
$30 x 50 units = $1500
<em><u>Remaining inventory</u></em>
200 - 150 = 50 units x $30 = $1500
<em>Thus,</em>
Cost of Goods Sold = $3500 ($2000 + $1500)
Ending inventory as at 31 December = $1500
