Answer:
False
Explanation:
It does not necessarily means that when a firm gets a normal rate of return, it earns economic profit also, as it depends on various factors:
- In the short run every firm aims to recover its variable cost, and in it's long term duration to recover its total cost, but it does not necessarily conclude that the return will attain the level of earning economic profit.
- Normal rate of return is based on competitive market, as an average rate of return on market, but if the investment is made from borrowed funds, it might be that the company is not able to pay the cost of borrowing in that case it is even after attaining the normal rate of return it will not earn economic profit.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
In this question, we are to evaluate the validity of the options. We were told he used the acquisition method. When do we use the acquisition method?
The acquisition method is used when a company is taken in by another company by using a merger, acquisition or through a consolidation.
Now, out of all the options presented, we can see that the selling price less the acquisition value is recorded as a realized gain or loss.

We add the units purchase and the subtotal to get the total units available for sale.
Ending inventory physical units: 970 - 810 = 160 units
<u>Then, we calculate for each method:</u>
Weighted average:
cost of goods / available units = 10,190 / 970 = 10.51
160 units x 10.51 = 1,681.6
LIFO:
Ending inventory will be the oldest units:
160 units x 8 = 960
FIFO:
Ending inventory will be the newest units as the units are sold as soon as they come in
90 x 15 = 1,350
70 x 13 = 910
Total 2,260
Answer:
D : All options are correct
Explanation:
- The marginal buyer is the essence of demand curve while marginal seller is essence of supply curve.
- @ Q = 500 units, Selling Price is set at SP = $35
- @ Q = 500 units, Buying Price is set at BP = $40
- Since, SP ≠ BP our equilibrium price would be $ 37.5 assuming the price elasticity of demand and supply are equal. In any case the equilibrium price would lie in between [ 35 , 40 ] such that to prevent a shortage of units in near future.
- Moreover, if the seller decides to sell at price $35 then he must sell goods greater than 500 units to reach the equilibrium profits. However, it could also lead to excess of units or surplus.
- We see that from selling the goods at SP = $35 while the buyer is willing to pay BP = $40 for 500 goods, the seller would be under-profiting and would be earning $5*500 = $2,500 less than he would at equilibrium price of $40 and selling units greater than 500. Hence, 500 goods is not an efficient quantity of goods.
