Answer:

b. first-in, first-out.

Explanation:

Generally, there are three methods for estimating the inventory shown below:

1. First-in-first, the company is selling the old products in this way than the new ones, which means first selling the old products and then selling the new ones

2. Weighted average method: Weighted cost is measured by considering the total revenue and total purchase

3. Last-in-first-out: Contrary to the first-in-first-out process, the first sale of new goods, then selling of old goods.

4. Base stock: The process by which the orders of the consumer are fulfilled by holding the less inventory

In the FIFO method, the highest ended inventory results in the lower cost of goods sold at the highest net profits.

Use the high-low method to determine the hospital's cost equation using nursing hours as the cost driver. Predict total overhe

netineya [11]

Answer: Total cost (23500 hours predicted ) = $ 484625

Explanation:

The question is incomplete the high and low methods requires us to use high and low level of activity together with the corresponding total costs at each level to determine the variable cost per unit. we will provide assumed total costs and nursing hours in order to show how high and low method is used to predict total costs for the next period.

Assume the following were total costs and corresponding nursing hours for the previous 3 months

Total cost Hours

$560000 30000 hours

$400000 220000 hours

$225000 10000 hours

calculating Variable cost using high and low method

Variable cost per unit = (high cost - low cost)/high hour - low hours)

Variable Cost Per unit = (840000 - 225000)/ (30000 - 10000) = 16.75

Variable cost per unit = $ 16.75

Fixed costs = 560000 - (28000 x 16.75) = 560000 - 469000

Fixed costs = $91000

Total cost (23500 hours predicted ) =Total Fixed cost + Total Variable costs

Total cost (23500 hours predicted ) = $91000 + (23500 x $16.75)

Total cost (23500 hours predicted ) == $91000 + $393625

Total cost (23500 hours predicted ) = $ 484625

Absolute v. comparative advantage activity this chart shows how many units of tractors and cotton workers can produce in the uni

goldenfox [79]

Answer: a). Spain

b). none

c). 2.4

Explanation: a). Absolute advantage occurs when a country produces more of a good than the other country. In this case, Spain produces 50 units of Tractors while, Bolivia produces only 30 units of Tractors. Thus, Since Spain is producing more it has an absolute advantage in Tractors.

b). Both the countries are producing equal units of Cotton. Thus, we can say that none of them has an absolute advantage in cotton production.

c. Opportunity cost is the cost of the lost alternative. When Spain produces Tractors it is sacrificing production of Cotton. So, opportunity cost on 1 unit of Tractor will be,

$Opportunity cost = \frac{120}{50} =2.4$

Thus, 2.4 units of cotton which is given up is the opportunity cost of Spain for producing 1 unit of Tractor.

he following information relates to a company’s aggregate production planning activities: Quarter Demand Forecast 1 37,500 2 45,

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

20,000 units

Explanation:

Number of units in inventory at the end of quarter 3

= 3(42,500)

=127,500

Hence:

127,500- 37,500-45,000-25,000

= 20,000 units

Therefore if production strategy is used the number of units in inventory at the end of quarter 3 is 20,000 units

Depreciation is A) the sum of gross and net investment. B) new additions to a firm's stock of intangible capital. C) the decline

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. the decline in the economic value of an asset over time

Explanation:

Depreciation : Depreciation is a decreasing value of the asset due to tear and wear, obsolesce, usage, etc

It is charged on the fixed assets which include plant and machinery, furniture and fixtures, building, computer, equipment, etc.

The sum of gross and net investment is not called the depreciation because gross investment is an expenditure which is incurred on new purchase while net investment is a difference between gross investment and deprecation. So, option B is incorrect.

Depreciation should not be charged on intangible assets because in intangible asset, the amortization is charged. Thus, option B is incorrect.

The decrease in the general price level is disinflation or inflation decreased. So, option D is also wrong

Hence, The correct answer is C. the decline in the economic value of an asset over time
