Answer:

The firm should shut down the production.

Explanation:

The given marginal costs = $25

Fixed cost of the production = $5000

The price of producing the 50 units of meals = $10

The new price of the meal when demand goes up = $20

Since it can be seen that the price of the meal is lower than the average cost or even it is less than the marginal cost. So, when the prices are lower than average cost then a firm should shut down the production because after shutting down the production the loss will be equal to the fixed cost only.

So, the firm should shut down the production.

Home Furnishings reports inventory using the lower of cost and net realizable value (NRV). Below is information related to its y
uysha [10]

Answer:

$43,030

Explanation:

IAS 2 Inventories states that inventory is to be recognized at cost, however, subsequent measurement requires that inventory be carried at the lower of cost or net realizable amount (NRV).

As such, where the cost of inventory is higher than the NRV, it is written down to the NRV using the following entries,

Debit Inventory write off/Cost of goods sold

Credit Inventory account

with the difference between the cost and the NRV.

Inventory Quantity   Unit Cost    Unit NRV   New unit cost

Furniture    230           $88             $103             $88

Electronics   53           $430           $315             $315

From the analysis above, the cost of inventory is lower than the NRV for Furniture, hence no adjustment is required. However, the cost of Electronics is higher than the NRV hence a write down is required. This amount is

= ($430 - $315) × 53

=$115 × 53

= $6,095

Total recorded cost(ending) of inventory before any adjustment

= (230 × $88) + (53 × $430)

= $43,030

Answer:

unitary contribution margin= $6

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales (16,000 units) $256,000

Variable expenses $160,000

<u>First, we need to calculate the unitary selling price and unitary variable cost:</u>

Selling price= 256,000 / 16,000= $16

Unitary variable cost= 160,000 / 16,000= $10

<u>Now, the unitary contribution margin:</u>

unitary contribution margin= selling price - unitary variable cost

unitary contribution margin= 16 - 10

unitary contribution margin= $6

Although GDP is a reasonably good measure of a nation's output. It does not necessarily include all transactions and production
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

Options (a), (b) and (d) are correct.

Explanation:

Gross domestic product refers to the total value of production of goods and services during a period of time within the boundaries of the nation. GDP of a nation also represents the standard of living of that nation. If the GDP of a nation increases then it is assumed that the standard of living of that nation also increases.

But there are some flaws or loopholes in this assumption as non-marketing activities and the underground economy makes the GDP an imperfect measure of a particular economic activity.

Is doesn't includes the quality of goods received by the consumers as it doesn't contribute towards GDP of a nation.

It doesn't takes into account the non-market activities such as self service and house work. If a person is cleaning his home then this doesn't contribute towards GDP but if he hires someone to do the same job then then this will contribute towards the calculation of GDP as it is counted as a consumption expenditure.

Loss of enjoyment will also not counted while determining the GDP.

Government pay checks to soldiers will be included in the GDP because it increases the GDP of a nation.
