Answer:

D. Any advantage that one firm has will be short-lived.

Explanation:

With the three firms all producing the same product with similar resources in their production and distribution of their products, any advantage that a firm has over the others if any would not last long at all. This is because each firm is using similar technique in the same location. Hence, there's nothing special about one of the firms over the others.

A business operated at 100% of capacity during its first month, with the following results: Sales (90 units) $90,000 Production
umka21 [38]

Answer:

d.$18,900

Explanation:

Gross Profit is the net of Sales value and production cost in the period for the units sold. Under absorption costing all the direct and indirect costs incurred in the production of products are included in the total production cost. As the cost is available for 100 units produced we need to calculate the cost of 90 unit and deduct this cost from the sales value to determine the gross profit and then deduct the operating expenses to calculate the operating income.

Sales (90 units)                                                                  $90,000

Less: Production costs:

Direct materials ( $40,000 x 90/100 )              $36,000

Direct labor ( 20,000 x 90/100 )                       $18,000

Variable factory overhead ( 2,000 x 90/100 ) $1,800

Fixed factory overhead ( 7,000 x 90/100 )      <u>$6,300</u>

Total Production cost                                                       <u>($62,100)</u>

Gross Profit                                                                        $27,900

Less Operating expenses:

Variable operating expenses $8,000

Fixed operating expenses      $1,000

                                                                                          <u>($9,000)</u>

Operating Income                                                             <u>$18,900</u>

Cheese makers in Wisconsin sell their leftover brine to local city and county highway​ departments, which use it in conjunction
alexdok [17]

Answer:

A) By product pricing

Explanation:

If you are able to sell your companies by products it is a great way to make more money and to reduce costs. Imagine if the cheese factories needed to throw away all that brine. They would need to develop some waste disposal facility which obviously costs money to build and operate. Instead they are lowering their costs by selling it and at the same time are getting more money. They would probably even give it away for free if no one was willing to pay for it.
