Answer:

No, he doesn't show diminishing marginal utility. Yes, he shows increasing marginal utility for Coke.

Explanation:

The law of diminishing returns states that the marginal or addition satisfaction or utility derived from the consumption of a product increase until a pint and then starts to  decrease.

Units         Total utility       Marginal utility

1                    10                          10        

2                   25                         15                    

3                   50                         25

After 3 bottles, John does not show diminishing marginal utility as the marginal utility (as shown above) continues to increase with each additional bottle of coke consumed.

Other fixed costs          5,333

Total costs                 $13,375

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Selling price per product = $30

Purchase cost per product = $20

Total sales dollars for next year = $720,000

Month Sales Revenue

May         $30,000

June          42,000

July            51,000

August     54,000

July 1:

Cash balance = $20,000

Merchandise inventory $18,000

Accounts receivable (sales) 23,000

Accounts payable (purchases) 12,000

Ending inventory = $27,000 ($54,000 * 50%)

Ending inventory = 50% of next month's budgeted sales

Selling and administrative expenses (excluding bad debts) for the year = $180,000

Fixed costs = $90,000

Depreciation    20,000

Cash fixed costs = $70,000

Monthly fixed costs = $5,833

Variable costs = $90,000

Variable costs per sales dollars = $90,000/$720,000 = $0.125

Cash variable cost for July $0.125 * $51,000 = $6,375
