Question

A company decides to close down its plastics division. It has on hand 20 tons of styrene monomer, a raw material that has a market price of $800 per ton, which had been originally purchased at $750 per ton. Given that the company has no use for the styrene monomer, and that it would cost the company $5200 to store it, what is the total value of the 20 tons of styrene monomer to the company

Answer 1

Answer:

$16,000

Explanation:

With regards to the above information, we are only concerned with calculating the value of 20 tons of styrene to the company, hence other information are not relevant.

The total value of the 20 tons of styrene monomer to the company would be ;

= 20 tons of styrene monomer × Market price of styrene monomer per ton

= 20 × $800

= $16,000
