Answer:

total output.

Explanation:

for example, a company manufactures 10,000 units of A. Its total variable costs are $50,000, and its total fixed costs are $25,000.

The average variable cost = $50,000 / 10,000 = $5 per unit of A

The average fixed cost = $25,000 / 10,000 = $2.50 per unit of A

The average total cost = $75,000 / 10,000 = $7.50 per unit of A

Answer:

a. 0.05

b. $68,750

a. $1,150,000

b. 0.1

c. $115,000

Explanation:

Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation rate x cost of the asset

Depreciation rate = 2 x (1/useful life) = 2 / 40 = 0.05

The double-declining-balance depreciation for the first year = 0.05 x $1,375,000 = $68,750

Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life

The depreciable cost = Cost of asset - Salvage value = $1,450,000 - $300,000 = $1,150,000

The straight line rate = 1 / useful life = 1 / 10 = 0.1

The annual straight-line depreciation = $1,150,000 x 0.1 = $115,000

Answer:

b. Sales promotion

Explanation:

Sale promotions are activities that a company engages in to persuade a potential customer to buy its products. Sale promotions are short-term tactics to boost sales. Although a business may get long-term customers through sales promotions, there are designed to entice new customers in the short-run.

Sales promotions encourage customers to switch brands or try out a different product. They are ideal when introducing new products in the market. Howerver, they are costly, and sometimes have a short term effect on sales.

Sheridan Company applied FIFO to its inventory and got the following results for its ending inventory. Cameras 113 units at a co

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Ending inventory is $24,917.

Explanation:

Lower-of-cost-or-net realizable value method implies that whichever is lower between the cost per unit and the net realizable value per unit is used to value the ending inventory of an item.

The ending inventory can therefore be determined as follows:

For Cameras:

Units = 113

Cost per unit = $61

net realizable value per unit = $74

We choose cost per unit since it is lower and we have:

Cameras ending inventory = 113 * $61 = $6,893

For Blu-ray players:

Units = 153

Cost per unit = $77

net realizable value per unit = $50

We choose net realizable value per unit since it is lower and we have:

Blu-ray players ending inventory = 153 * $50 = $7,650

For iPods:

Units = 133

Cost per unit = $86

net realizable value per unit = $78

We choose net realizable value per unit since it is lower and we have:

iPods ending inventory = 133 * $78 = $10,374

Calculation of ending inventory:

Ending inventory = Cameras ending inventory + Blu-ray players ending inventory + iPods ending inventory = $6,893 + $7,650 + $10,374 = $24,917
