Answer:
The average total cost of producing 60 units of output is:
b. $21.67
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Variable Fixed Output Marginal Physical Total Total Marginal
Input Input Product of Variable fixed variable Cost
input cost cost
0 1 0 $500 $0
1 1 10 (A) $500 $200 (F)
2 1 25 (B) $500 400 (G)
3 1 45 (C) $500 600 (H)
4 1 60 (D) $500 800 (I)
5 1 70 (E) $500 1000 (J)
The total cost of producing 60 units of output = $1,300 ($500 + $800)
Average total cost of producing 60 units of output = $21.67 ($1,300/60)
Answer: $15,060
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Ben and Jerry were shareholders of Water Ice Inc., an S corp. On Jan. 1, 1998, Ben owned 40 shares and Jerry owned 60 shares.
We are further told that Ben sold his shares to Joe for $10,000 on March 31, 1998 and that the corp. reported a $50,000 loss at the end of 1998. The loss that will be allocated to Joe will be:
= $50,000 × 40% × 9/12
= $50,000 × 0.4 × 0.75
= $15,000
The closest figure we have close to that is $15,060 which is option B
