Answer:
The correct answer is option E.
Explanation:
A monopoly is a market where there is only single producer or seller. There are restrictions on entry in the market. The firms in the monopoly are price makers. That is why they have a downward sloping demand curve.
There are no close substitutes for the product and there is only one seller in the monopoly.
The firm may earn profit or loss or profits in the short run based on its revenue and cost conditions.
So, all the options given are correct.
Direct material cost variance = (Standard price - Actual Price) * Actual Quantity
= ($50 - $51) * 47,000
= $47,000 adverse
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "C": marginal revenue equals marginal cost.
Explanation:
The profit-maximizing level of output for every type of firm is reached when the marginal revenue of production equals the marginal cost meaning that the additional cost of selling one more unit equals the cost of producing one more unit.
Marginal costs vary according to changes in production. Because of that, managers must identify when those events happen to calculate the profit margin (percentage sales that are converted into profits) of the firm to avoid losses.
Answer:
1. Annual demand ( D) = 100,000 bags
Ordering cost per order (Co) = $15
Holding cost per item per annum (H) = 15% x $2 = $0.30
EOQ = √<u>2DCo</u>
H
EOQ = √<u>2 x 100,000 x $15</u>
0.30
EOQ = 3,162 units
2. Maximum inventory
= Safety stock + EOQ
= 1,500 + 3,162
= 4,662 units
3. Average inventory
= EOQ/2
= <u>3,162</u>
2
= 1,581 units
4. Number of order
= <u>Annual demand</u>
EOQ
= <u>100,000</u>
3,162
= 32 times
Explanation:
EOQ is the square root of 2 multiplied by annual demand and ordering cost per order divided by holding cost per item per annum.
Maximum inventory is the aggregate of safety stock and EOQ.
Average inventory is economic order quantity divided by 2
Number of order is the ratio of annual demand to economic order quantity.
