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

A company can shorten its cash cycle by: __________
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

None of the above

Explanation:

Companies can shorten their cash cycles by turning over their inventory faster. The quicker a company sells its goods, the sooner it takes in cash from cash and credit card sales and begins its accounts receivable aging. Inventory turnover has no impact on the cash cycles of service companies with no inventory.

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Find the detailed answer below

Explanation:

January 1     300 units at $5      $1,500

January 8     500 units at $9       $4,500

January 29 910 units at $10       $9,100

1,110 units are available at the end of the month. That means 600 units were sold

A. Under FIFO

1. Cost of goods available for sale:

        $1,500 + $4,500 + $9,100 = $15,100

2.   Cost of goods sold

         300 units at $5      $1,500

         300 units at $9      $2,700

          Total             $4,200

3. Ending inventory

           200 units at $9       $1,800

           910 units at $10      $9,100

           Total              $10,900

B. Under LIFO(Last in First Out)

1.  Cost of goods available for sale:

        $1,500 + $4,500 + $9,100 = $15,100

2.  Cost of goods sold

        600 units at $10      $6,000

        Total       $6,000

3. Ending inventory

       310 units at $10      $3,100

      500 units at $9        $4,500

      300 units at $5        $1,500

      Total        $9,100

C. Weighted average cost flow assumption: Cost of goods available for sale / total units

1. Cost of goods available for sale:

     $1,500 + $4,500 + $9,100 = $15,100

2. Cost of goods sold

      $15,100 / 1,710 = $8.83

      $8.83 x 600 = $5,298

3. Ending inventory

       $8.83 x 1,110 = $9,801.3

Under perpetual Inventory System

Between January 9 and January 28. The prevailing price that will be used to sell the inventory will be the price at January 8($9)

1. Cost of goods available for sale:

$1,500 + $4,500 + $9,100 = $15,100

2.  Cost of goods sold

        600 units at $9     $5,400

        Total           $5,400

3. Ending inventory

       1,110 units at $9      $9,990

      Total            $9,990

Charlie’s Furniture Store has been in business for several years. The firm's owners have described the store as a "high-price, h
wolverine [178]

Answer:

a. Calculate current sales and ROI for Charlie’s Furniture Store.

asset turnover formula = net sales / average assets

0.4 = net sales / $800,000

net sales = $320,000

ROI = net income / investment

net income = $320,000 x 34% = $108,800

ROI = $108,800 / $800,000 = 13.6%

b. Assuming that the new strategy would reduce margin to 20%, and assuming that average total assets would stay the same, calculate the sales that would be required to have the same ROI as Charlie’s currently earns.

net income = net sales x 20% (new margin)

net sales = $108,800 / 20% = $544,000

c. Suppose you presented the results of your analysis in parts a and b of this problem to Charlie, and he replied, "What are you telling me? If I reduce my prices as planned, then I have to practically double my sales volume to earn the same return?" Given the results of your analysis, what is the actual amount of increase in sales required?

sales increase = ($544,000 - $320,000) / $320,000 = 70% increase

d. Now suppose Charlie says, "You know, I'm not convinced that lowering prices is my only option in staying competitive. What if I were to increase my marketing effort? I'm thinking about kicking off a new advertising campaign after conducting more extensive market research to better identify who my target customer groups are." In general, explain to Charlie what the likely impact of a successful strategy of this nature would be on margin, turnover, and ROI.

An extensive market research and a "successful" marketing campaign are generally expensive. Even if the marketing campaign is really successful in increasing sales, costs would also increase. So the equation may or may not change, depending if the contribution margin of the additional units sold will be able to cover the expenses of a complex marketing campaign. If you spend $100 to earn $100 more, your situation hasn't changed at all. Which means that net income may or may not increase, therefore, the profit margin, ROI and asset turnover may not change.

A firm has the following cost and marginal cost​ functions: Upper C left parenthesis q right parenthesis equals 64 plus q square
velikii [3]

Answer: Minimum efficient​ scale is 8 units.

Explanation:

Given that,

Cost function: C(q) = 64 + q^{2}

Marginal cost function: MC = 2q

Average cost: AC = \frac{C(q)}{q}

                             = \frac{64 + q^{2}}{q}

                             = \frac{64}{q} + q

The minimum efficient scale is at a point where MC = AC

2q =  \frac{64}{q} + q

q^{2} = 64\\q = \sqrt{64} \\q = 8

Therefore, minimum efficient​ scale is 8 units.
