LIFO: ending inventory: $ 8,422 COGS: $ 15,558 (periodic)

LIFO: ending inventory $ 9,035 COGS ·$ 14,945 (perpetual)

Explanation:

June 1 Balance 304 units @ $13 3, 952

June 11 Purchased 804 units @ $15 12,060

June 20 Purchased 498 units @ $16 7, 968

Tota units 1,606 Cost available: 23,980

June 10 Sold 205 units @ $30

June 15 Sold 504 units @ $32

June 27 Sold 295 units @ $34

Total units: 1,004 units

Ending Inventory units: 1,606 - 1,004 = 602

FIFO:

first units are sold while last are ending inventory.

As we always pick from chronological order is the same under perpetual or periodic method.

Ending Inventory: 602 units

June 20 Purchased 498 units @ $16 7, 968 (602 - 498 = 104)

June 11 Purchased 104 units @ $15 1, 560

Total: 9,528

COGS: Difference between cost available and ending inventory:

23,980 - 9,528 = 14,452

LIFO:

first units are part of ending inventory. As the units aren't picked in chronological order the values cahnges under perpetual and periodic method.

periodic ending inventory:

June 1 Balance 304 units @ $13 3, 952 (602 - 304 = 298)

June 11 Purchased 298 units @ $15 4,470

Total 8,422

COGS: 23,980 - 8,422 = 15,558

perpetual method:

Inventory after 1st sale: 304 - 205 = 99 units at 13

Inventory after 2nd sale.

99 untis at 13

804-504 = 300 units at 15

Inventory after 3rd sale.

99 untis at 13 1,287

300 units at 15 4,500

498 - 295 = 203 units at 16 3,248

ending inventory: 9,035

COGS: 23,980 - 9,035 = 14,945

Charlie's brother, Alexander, also consumes apples (A) and bananas (B). Alexander's utility function happens to be U(A, B) = 5A

Andrei [34K]

Solution :

$U(A, B) = 5A + 2B$

a). Bundles $(40, 5)$ = U ( _____ , 2), lie on the same indifference curve. Suppose missing numbers is x.

So, $U(40, 5) = U(x, 2)$

(40 x 5) + (2 x 5) = 50x + (2 x 2)

210 - 4 = 5x

$x = 41.2$

So Alexander has $40$ apples and $5$ bananas. The indifference curve though $(40, 5)$ also include bundle.

Therefore, (41.2, 2)

b). $MRS_{BA} = \frac{MU_B}{MU_A}$

$=\frac{\delta U/\delta B}{\delta U/\delta A}$

$=\frac{2}{5}$

= 0.4

So Alexander has $40$ apples and $5$ bananas with this bundle. Alexander would like to give up $0.4$ unit apples for a banana.
