Answer:

The cross-over point is about 22 computers.

Explanation:

Fixed cost, F = 0

Variable cost = $50

Option B

Fixed cost, F = $1,000

Variable cost, V = $5

Therefore,

Total cost = F + (n × V)

n = no of units

Option A

Total cost TC = 50n

Option B

Total cost TC = 1000 + 5n

We can calculate cross-over point by equalizing two options :

50n = 1000 + 5n

45n = 1000

n = 22.2

The cross-over point is about 22 computers.

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

The correct answer is The opportunity cost of an additional 100 dolls increases as more dolls are produced.

Explanation:

The opportunity cost is understood as the cost incurred in making a decision and not another. It is that value or utility that is sacrificed for choosing an alternative A and neglecting an alternative B. Taking a path means that the benefit offered by the discarded path is waived.

In any decision taken there is an implicit waiver of the utility or benefits that could have been obtained if any other decision had been made.

For each situation there is always more than one way to address it, and each form offers a greater or lesser utility than the others, therefore, whenever one or the other decision is made, the opportunities and possibilities offered by the others will have been renounced, that may be better or worse (opportunity cost greater or lesser).

Assume that three identical units are purchased separately on the following three dates and at the respective costs:________. Ju
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

Under last in, first out (LIFO) inventory method, the units purchased last are used to determine the cost of goods sold. This doesn't mean that exactly the last units purchased will be sold first, it is just used as an accounting tool.

In this case, the last unit purchased costed $20, and the immediately previous one costed $15. Under LIFO, these 2 units would have been sold (COGS = $35), and the ending inventory = $10 (the price of the "oldest" unit).
