Answer:

False

Explanation:

In a competitive market, if production (and consumption) continues until the marginal benefit of one more unit equals marginal cost, then total surplus is maximized.

As for any extra unit produced

Marginal Benefit > Marginal cost = Surplus

Marginal Benefit = Marginal cost = No Surplus / No loss

Marginal Benefit > Marginal cost = loss

When your Marginal benefit is maximum and Marginal cost is minimum then the surplus will be maximized.

Most efficient situation in which benefit is maximum and the cost is minimum results in maximized surplus.

The total amount of equity (common stock, additional paid-in capital and retained earnings) that should appear on the balance sh
alex41 [277]

Answer:

Equal to the sum of their net assets (whether or not the assets are revalued)

Explanation:

Mathematically, equity equals the total asset of a company, less its total liabilities. This is also referred to the net assets of the company.

Equity = Total Assets - Total Liabilities

However, when two companies are merging, the total assets of the combining companies are usually revalued to reflect their current values and not the historical values usually carried in the books before the merger. In a revaluation, if the value of total assets increases, a corresponding increase will be recorded in Equity (revaluation surplus). This keeps the Equity-Net Assets equation equal at all times.

Thus, when two companies merge, the total amount of equity of the combined companies will equal the net assets of the combined companies, irrespective of whether a revaluation of the assets of the companies was done or not.

If, for this machine, design capacity is 50 cords per day, effective capacity is 40 cords per day, and actual output is expected
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

60%

Explanation:

Data provided as per the question is below

Design capacity = 50 cords per day

Effective capacity = 40 cords per day

Actual output = 30 cords per day

The computation of utilization is shown below:-

Utilization = Actual output ÷ Design capacity

= 30 ÷ 50

= 0.6

or 60%

Therefore for computing the utilization we simply divide design capacity by actual output.

Constitutional scholars have pointed out there is an inconsistency in justice marshalls opinion with respect to what the constit
Tom [10]
The inconsistency is that the decision ultimately ruled that the court did not have jurisdiction to hear the case. <span>Marshall's opinion assumes the Constitution was written in the past tense, whereas it was actually written in the present perfect tense. This results in an internal inconsistency in Marshall's opinion with respect to what the Constitution specifically provides. </span>

Cullumber Company has a unit selling price of $650, variable costs per unit of $450, and fixed costs of $319,800. Compute the br
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

(a)

Mathematical Equation for break-even

F = QP - QV

Where

F = fixed cost

Q = Break-even quantity

P = Selling price

V = Variable cost

F = Q ( P - V )

Q = F / ( P - V )

Q = $319,800 / ( $650 - $450 )

Q = $319,800 / $200

Q = 1,599 units

(b)

Contribution Margin = Price per unit - Variable cost per unit

Contribution Margin = $650 - $450 = $200

Break-even Point in Units = Fixed Cost / Contribution margin per unit

Break-even Point in Units = $319,800 / $200 = 1,599 units

Explanation:

Mathematical equation use the the break-even equation which represent the behavior of each element towards the break-even point.

Contribution per unit method use the contribution of each unit to calculate the break-even point.
