Answer:

The answer is: Marginal factor cost of labor per hour is $117 for one new worker.

Explanation:

The marginal factor cost of labor per hour can be calculated using the following formula:

                   

                                          change in total factor cost

marginal factor cost  =      ____________________

                                          change in factor quantity

                                          ($17 x 101 workers) - ($16 x 100 workers)

marginal factor cost  =      _______________________________

                                                 101 workers  -  100 workers

marginal factor cost  =   ($1,717 - $1,600) / 1 = $117

Marginal factor cost of labor per hour is $117 for one new worker.

Vladimir79 [104]

1. Total cost per equivalent unit $43.60

2. Equivalent unit in ending inventory  210; 180

3. Equivalent unit in beginning inventory 320; 160

4. Cost of unit started and completed 2,700

5. Cost of ending WIP $5,334 $3,276  

Total $8,612

6. Cost of the units transferred to the next department  $84,828  $54,972

Total $139,800

1. Computation  the total cost per equivalent unit for the month.

Total cost per equivalent unit =$ 25.40 +$ 18.20

Total cost per equivalent unit=$43.60

2. Computation for  the equivalent units of material and conversion in the ending inventory.

Material Conversion

Equivalent unit in ending inventory

300×70% = 210 300×60% = 180

3) Computation for  the equivalent units of material and conversion that were required to complete the beginning inventory.

Material Conversion

Equivalent unit in beginning inventory 400×80% =320 400×40% = 160

4) Computation for  the number of units started and completed during the month.

Cost of unit started and completed = 3,100-420

Cost of unit started and completed= 2,700

5. Computation for  the cost of ending work in process inventory for materials, conversion, and in total for the month.

Material Conversion

Cost of ending WIP

210×$25.40=5,334  180×18.20=3,276

Total =5,334+3,276

Total=$8,612

6. Computation the cost of the units transferred to the next department for materials, conversion, and in total for the month.

Material Conversion

Cost of ending WIP (3,020×$25.40+$8,120)  (2,860×$18.20+$2,920)

Cost of ending WIP $84,828  $54,972

Total=$84,828 +$54,972

Total=$139,800

(2700+320=3,020)

(2,700+160=2,860)

($11,040-$8,120=$2,920)

OR

Cost of units transferred out

Material Conversion

Cost of beginning work in progress 8,120+ 2,920

Total=11,040

Cost incurred on remaining work in progress =(320×$25.40) + (160×$18.20)

Total =8,128+2,912

Total =$11,040

Cost of unit started and completed during the month=(2,700×$25.40)   (2,700×$18.20)

Total=68,580+49,140

Total=117,720

Cost of the units transferred to the next department =$11,040+$11,040+117,720

Cost of the units transferred to the next department =$139,800

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

Option B, Reduce average costs, is the right answer.

Explanation:

Option B is correct because if there is an increasing return to scale that means the firm is using additional inputs and the use of these inputs increases the output in greater proportionate than the proportionate increase in inputs. Moreover, the output of the company will increase. Consequently, the total cost will also increase but the average cost of production will fall.
