To assign overhead costs to each product, the company:_____.
mina [271]

Answer:

a. multiplies the activity-based overhead rates per cost driver by the number of cost drivers expected to be used per product.

Explanation:

Costing is the measurement of the cost of production of goods and services by assessing the fixed costs and variable costs associated with each step of production.

Generally, an activity-based costing uses multiple cost pools such as manufacturing cost or customer services and multiple cost drivers such as direct labor hours worked, number of changes used in engineering department, etc.

Cost pool is simply the amount of money spent by a firm on a particular activity.

Hence, to assign overhead costs to each product, the company multiplies the activity-based overhead rates per cost driver by the number of cost drivers expected to be used per product.

In activity-based costing, the activity rate for an activity cost pool is calculated by using the following formula;

Activity rate = total overhead cost/activity for the activity cost pool.

Suppose you are the manager of a watchmaking firm operating in a competitive market. Your cost of production is given by C = 200
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

1. 20 units

2. $600

Explanation:

1. C = 200 + 2q^{2}

MC = 4q

Price, P = $80

For maximizing profits,

Marginal cost =  Price of the commodity

4q = 80

q = 20 units

C = 200 + 2q^{2}

C = 200 + 2(20)^{2}

         = 200 + 800

         = 1,000

2. Profit = Total revenue - Total cost

             = (Price × Quantity) - TC

             = (80 × 20) - $1,000

             = $1,600 - $1,000

             = $600

3. We know that the firm in the short run will be produce at a point where total revenue is greater than the total variable cost

Average variable cost = variable cost ÷ quantity

                              =\frac{2Q^{2}}{Q}

                                     = 2Q

MC = 4Q

Here,  MC is greater than AVC at any given point.

so in the short run firm will producing short run positive profit.
