Answer:

B) change in average total costs divided by the change in output.

Explanation:

Marginal cost is the extra cost incurred for the production of an additional unit of output after breakeven.  At the breakeven point, fixed costs have been absorbed. Any additional production will incur variable costs . Marginal costs will, therefore, comprise direct labor, direct material, and a small proportion of fixed costs, such as administration and selling costs.

The calculate marginal cost, divide the total change in costs by the change in the product output. i.e.

Marginal costs = change in cost / change in output.

Marginal cost is compared with marginal revenue when deciding whether to increase production or not.

Yuri [45]

Answer:

b. 10,100

Explanation:

As for the provided information,

We know at break even point taxes shall be = 0 as there are no profits and no losses.

a. At break even: = \frac{Fixed\ Cost}{Contribution}

Fixed Cost = $308,100

Contribution per unit = Selling price - Variable cost = $79 - $40 = $39

Therefore, break even units = \frac{308,100}{39} = 7,900 smokers

b. In case the company wants a profit of $51,480 after tax @ 40% then,

Earnings before taxes = \frac{51,480}{1 - 0.4} = $85,800

Therefore, number of units = \frac{Fixed\ Cost + Profit\ before\ tax}{Contribution\ per\ unit}

= \frac{308,100 + 85,800}{39} = 10,100

Last year, Mountain Top, Inc., purchased a coal mine at a cost of $900,000. The salvage value has been estimated at $100,000. Th
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Journal entry to record depletion expense

Depreciation expense $280,000 (debit)

Accumulated depreciation $280,000 (credit)

Explanation:

The coal mine is an economic resource controlled (ownership of risks and benefits) by Last year, Mountain Top, Inc as a result of past event (purchase transaction) from which economic benefits are expected to flow into the business (cash from sale of minerals).Therefore the coal mine is an asset!

The asset is being depleted as it is being used. This is called depreciation.

Depreciation expense in this case is calculated as :

Depreciable Account × Current harvest as a percentage of total estimated tons available

(900000-100000)× 70000/200000 = $280,000

Note whether the following phenomena would be consistent with or a violation of the efficient market hypothesis.
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

D) Stock prices of companies that announce increased earning in January tend to outperform the market in February.    

Explanation:

The above is consistent with the Efficient Market Hypothesis. All others are a direct contravention.

<em>The efficient market hypothesis (EMH), also known as the efficient market theory, is a hypothesis that states that the prices of shares contain all information and that consistent alpha generation is impossible.</em>

According to the hypothesis, stocks always trade at their fair value on exchanges, making it impossible for investors to purchase undervalued stocks or sell stocks for inflated prices.

This means that it should not be possible to outperform the overall market through professional stock selection or market timing.

The only way according to EMH that an investor can obtain better returns is by purchasing riskier investments.  

By implication, this also means that it is not possible to "beat the market" consistently on a risk-adjusted basis since market prices should only react to new information.  

You would note that in the option D, earning (which is a key driver for demand of stock) is announced in one month. The natural reaction would be for the demand for that stock to surge in the next month.
