Assuming that a periodic inventory system is used, what is the amount allocated to ending inventory on a LIFO basis
Pani-rosa [81]

The amount allocated to ending inventory is $3664.

LIFO is an inventory method that means last in, first out. It means that it is assumed that the latest inventory that is sold, is the first to be sold. Ending inventory is made up of inventory that is purchased eelier.

  • Total inventory sold = 40 + 26 = 68 units
  • Sum of total inventory bought and beginning inventory = 10 + 60 + 30 = 100
  • Ending inventory = 100 - 68 = 32
  • Value of ending inventory = (22 x $112) + (10 x $120)

$2464 + $1200 = $3664

In the long run equilibrium, a monopolistic competitor will produce to the point at which A) actual average total costs are at t
Artemon [7]

Monopolistic competition is the economic market model with many sellers selling similar, but not identical, products. The demand curve of monopolistic competition is elastic because although the firms are selling differentiated products, many are still close substitutes, so if one firm raises its price too high, many of its customers will switch to products made by other firms. This elasticity of demand makes it similar to pure competition where elasticity is perfect. Demand is not perfectly elastic because a monopolistic competitor has fewer rivals then would be the case for perfect competition, and because the products are differentiated to some degree, so they are not perfect substitutes.

Monopolistic competition has a downward sloping demand curve. Thus, just as for a pure monopoly, its marginal revenue will always be less than the market price, because it can only increase demand by lowering prices, but by doing so, it must lower the prices of all units of its product. Hence, monopolistically competitive firms maximize profits or minimize losses by producing that quantity where marginal revenue equals marginal cost, both over the short run and the long run.

Assume personal tax rates are lower than corporate tax rates. From a tax-paying shareholder point of view, how should a firm spe
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer: e. repurchase shares

Explanation:

If the personal tax rates are lower than corporate tax rates then the company should engage in an activity that would put money into the pockets of shareholders such that they would take advantage of the lower personal tax rates.

The best way to do that would be a share repurchase. The company would probably buy at above market rates which would give shareholders capital gain and they wouldn't have to pay much taxes on it as personal rates are lower.
