Answer: All of the other answer choices are true.

Explanation:

FIFO simply refers to “First-In, First-Out” and the method assumes that the oldest goods that are in the inventory of a company have been sold first and therefore, the costs that are paid for them will be used for the calculation.

The following are true regarding the FIFO method:

• FIFO under a perpetual inventory system results in the same cost of goods sold as FIFO under a periodic inventory system.

• A company can choose to account for the flow of inventory using the FIFO method even if this doesn’t match the actual flow of its inventory.

• Perishable goods often follow an actual physical flow that is consistent with the FIFO method assumptions.

Therefore, the correct option is D as all are true.

Answer: $17.28

Explanation:

6 month free concession in first year drops rent to:

= 20 / 2

= $10

Effective rent = [Present value of Year 1 rent + Present value of Year 2 rent + Present value of Year 3 rent ] / [ 1 - (1 / (1 + rate)^ number of years) / rate]

= [(10 / (1 + 10%) ) + (21 / (1 + 10%)²) + (22 / (1 + 10%)³)] * [1 - (1 / (1 + 10%)³/ 10%)]

= (9.09 + 17.355 + 16.5289) / 2.48685

= $17.28

Explanation:

The computation of the ending inventory using the lower of cost or market method is shown below:

Product Cost Net realizable value Lower of cost or NRV

RSK-89013 600 × $38 = $22,800 600 × $47 = $28,800 $22,800

LKW-91247 420 × $47 = $19,740 420 × $40 = $16,800 $16,800

QEC-57429 510 × $26 = $13,260 510 × $32 = $16,320 $13,260

Carrying value of the ending inventory is $52,860

Suppose a competitive firm has cost, C = (0.002q3) + (22q) + 750, marginal cost, MC = 0.006q2 + 22, and revenue, R =

aniked [119]

Answer:

Options B and C are correct.

Marginal profit is negative.
Profit is positive.

Explanation:

At q = 150

R = 80q = 80(150) = 12,000

C = 0.002(150)3 + 22(150) + 750 = 6750 + 3300 + 750 = 10,800

R > C so first is incorrect.

MR = 80

MC = 0.006(150 x 150) + 22 = 135 + 22 = 157

MC > MR so B is correct.

Profit = TR - TC = 80(150) - 0.002(150)3 - 22(150) - 750 = 12000 - 10800 = 1200

Profit is positive.

Marginal profit = MR - MC = 80 - 157 = - 77

MR is Negative

Donnie's Donuts incurs $450,000 per year in explicit costs and $200,000 in implicit costs. The bakery earns $800,000 in revenues

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

$150,000

Explanation:

Given that

Total revenue = $800,000

Explicit cost = $450,000

Implicit cost = $200,000

The computation of the accounting profit is as shown below :-

= Total revenue - Total cost

= $800,000 - $650,000

= $150,000

Total cost = Explicit cost -Implicit cost

= $450,000 + $200,000

= $650,000

Therefore for calculating the accounting profit we simply deduct the total cost from total revenue.
