Answer:

C. Finished Goods Inventory has decreased.

Explanation:

Cost of goods manufactured (COGM) increases when finished goods inventory is <em>produced</em>, while cost of goods sold (COGS) increases when finished goods inventory is <em>sold</em>. If COGS has been increasing faster than COGM has been increasing, the company has been selling more goods than it has been producing. Therefore, it must have sold goods from its surplus of finished goods inventory. Thus, finished goods inventory has decreased.

Explanation:

Resource partitioning is a term that refers to the division of resources that are limited by species in order to avoid competition in an ecological niche.

If price is greater than average variable cost and less than average total cost at the profit-maximizing quantity of output in t

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

produce at an economic loss.

Explanation:

In a perfect competition, there are many buyers and sellers of homogeneous products, and there is free entry and exit in the market.

This simply means that, in a perfectly competitive market, there are many buyers and sellers (price takers) of homogeneous products (standardized products with substitute) and the market is free (practically open) to all individuals or business entities that are willing to trade all their goods and services.

In a perfectly competitive market in long-run equilibrium, a long-run equilibrium avails firms the opportunity to adjust all inputs and all fixed costs are maximized. Also, it's characterized by free entry and exit, as such there isn't a fixed number of firms. This simply means that, since the number of firms in a long-run equilibrium can change, a firm must exit the market as a result of losses i.e when the firm is unable to cover its fixed costs in the long-run while new firms are allowed entry into the market when it anticipates potential profits or gains.

However, the firms always strive to maximize profits by increasing their level of output, such that P = MC. Also, the firms wouldn't be willing to leave or enter into the market because they are not making any profit, such that P=AC.

In a nutshell, in the long run equilibrium P=MR=MC and P=AC.

Hence, if price is greater than average variable cost and less than average total cost at the profit-maximizing quantity of output in the short run, a perfectly competitive firm will produce at an economic loss.

Additionally, Average Total Cost (ATC) can be defined as the overall cost of production divided by total output of production. It is calculated by dividing total cost by total output of production or by adding TVC and TFC.

Company A uses an accelerated depreciation method while Company B uses the straight-line method. All other things being equal, d

babymother [125]

Answer:

d. A larger fixed assets turnover ratio and a larger gain on asset disposal

Explanation:

Accelerated depreciation is a method of depreciation whereby the book value of an asset is rapidly depreciated or reduced i.e at an accelerated rate.

This method usually minimizes taxable income in the initial years as a higher amount of depreciation is claimed.

Fixed assets turnover ratio refers to what percentage of net sales is attributable to an entity's fixed assets. It is expressed as:

$\frac{Net\ Sales}{Average\ Fixed\ Assets}$

Gain on sale of asset disposal = Sale value - Book Value

Book Value = Cost less accumulated depreciation till date

As can be seen, Average fixed assets balance would reduce thereby increasing fixed assets turnover ratio.

Similarly, due to higher depreciation charged, Book Value would be comparatively less, which would lead to larger gain on assets disposal in the initial years.
