Answer:

D) The firm is generating a loss and if things are not expected to improve the firm will leave the industry.

Explanation:

A perfectly competitive firm can make only one major decision which is naming the quantity it wishes to produce. In determining profit, two items are necessarily required; Total revenue and total cost. This can mathematical be represented as total revenue - total cost. Another way of determining profit is denoted mathematically as:- (Price × Quantity Produced) - (Average Cost × Quantity produced). Since a perfectly competitive firm must come to terms with the price for its output as determined by the product's demand and supply, it can't choose the price it charges. This can only be determined in the profit equation. When the firm chooses the quantity to produce, this quantity and the prices will determine the firm's total revenue, total costs and profits.

 If the price that a perfectly competitive firm charges is higher than its average cost of production for quantity produced, the firm tends to earn profits but if the price is lower than its average cost of production, the firm will suffer losses. In this situation, liquidation might be one of the firm's options.

What is a plan to help you reach your financial goals called?
Vikentia [17]

Answer:     Primemerica

Explanation: Its a financial company where you get to build a business within the company. You will be helping families financially. You going to help people get out of debt, make sure they have the right amount of life insurance coverage, and show them how to reach their goals (such as saving for retirement, college fund, vacation, buying a house, or whatever their goals are). Most people don't have a plan on how to reach their goals. Without a plan, their goals will never come true because there are too many distractions in life.

Besides helping families, you can also recruit people into your business and every recruit has the same opportunity as you do. Why recruit? For one, there's only 24 hours in a day and you are just 1 person. How much work can you do by yourself? If you recruit people, more work gets done. Second, you get to make new friends by recruiting. Third, you override your recruits. That means every time your recruit helps a family, the company pays you an override. An override is not a split in commissions. Its profits earn from a sale. That's how every business work. For example, if you worked at McDonalds, every time you sell a burger, the company earns a profit. Do you think the owner of a McDonalds restaurant is there? Of course not. He or she is probably enjoying life.

Override leads to freedom. The top earners in this company earning millions of dollars per year really don't do any work anymore. They live off overrides and residual income (which is work they done in the past continues to pay them forever). Some of these million dollar earners do training and teach others valuable lessons on how to build a business. If you look at the background of these million dollar earners, most of them came from a poverty or middle class families. Are these people any better than you or me? Of course not. They just worked harder than anyone else. Will you get to be a million dollar earner? Only if you work as hard as they did and do it long enough. It all depends on how badly you want it and how much do you believe in yourself.

almond37 [142]

Answer:

$7.20

Explanation:

Given the following :

FINISHING department :

overhead budget = $550,000

direct labor HOURS = 500,000

PRODUCTION department :

overhead budget = $400,000

direct labor hours = 80,000

Predetermined allocation rate for finishing department :

Overhead / allocation base = ($550,000 / 500,000) = $1.10 per direct labor hour

Predetermined allocation rate for production department :

Overhead / allocation base = ($400,000 / 80,000) = $5 per direct labor hour

If the budget estimates that a desk lamp will require 2 hours of finishing and 1 hour of production:

Finishing department :

(2 × Predetermined allocation rate for finishing department)

= (2 × $1.10) = $2.20

Production :

(1 × Predetermined allocation rate for production department)

= (1 × $5). = $5

Total = ($2.20 + $5) = $7.20

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Production=  60,000 units

Units sold= 55,000

Selling price per unit= $10

Variable manufacturing costs were $5 per unit.

Annual fixed manufacturing overhead was $120,000 ($2 per unit). Variable selling and administrative costs were $1 per unit sold

Fixed selling and administrative costs were $30,000.

<u>The absorption costing method includes the unitary fixed overhead costs to the cost of goods sold.</u>

Sales= 55,000*10= 550,000

COGS= (5 + 2)*55,000= (385,000)

Gross profit= 165,000

Total selling and administrative costs=(1*55,000)+30,000= (85,000)

Net operating income= 80,000
