Compute the cost assigned to ending inventory using (a) FIFO, (b) LIFO, (c) weighted average, and (d) specific identification. F

masha68 [24]

Answer:

Closing Units = (710 units - 490 units)= 220 units

a) FIFO : closing inventory = $14,040

Mar 18 purchase 20 *$62 =$1,240

Mar 25 purchase 200 *$64 = $12,800

b) LIFO : closing inventory = $12,780

Mar 1 opening = 90 * $52 =$4,680

Mar 18 purchase = 110 * $62 = $6,820

Mar 25 purchase = 20*$64 =1,280

c) Weighted Average Method (WAM) :

WAM= (Opening cost + purchases cost)/(opening units +units purchased)

= ($7,800+$14,250)/(150+250) = $55.125 cost before Mar 9 sale

WAM(after the first sale) = ($4,961.25 +$6,820 + $12,800)/(90+110+200)

= $61.45

Closing Inventory = $61.45*220 =$13,519

d) Specific Identification :Closing Inventory = $13,070

Mar 01 opening = 60 *$52 =$3,120

Mar 5 Purchase = 30*$57 =$1,710

Mar 18 Purchase = 40*$62 =$2,480

Mar 25 Purchase = 90*$64 =$5,760

Explanation:

The law of diminishing returns implies that marginal cost will rise as output increases. Eventually, rising marginal cost will lead to a rise in average total cost.

Komok [63]

Answer: ez pz it says it there. "All new items will be put on hold or canceled". If it hasn't shipped yet, it will not be shipped. So you should get your money back. But or maybe you won't because your account got locked, and according to their terms and service, you will not get your money back if you did something wrong, illegal, or suspicious. And unless you didn't do anything wrong, your account got locked for that and you will not be getting your money back. If you didn't do anything wrong, try contacting Amazon support and they will help you get your account unlocked. They could also help you get it shipped/and/or get your money back.

A firm's marginal product of labor is 4 and its marginal product of capital is 5. If the firm adds one unit of labor but does n

marissa [1.9K]

Answer: C. use 0.8 fewer units of capital.

Explanation:

The Marginal Rate of Technical Substitution (MRTS) shows how much you can decrease capital or labor by in order to keep production constant if you increase either capital or labor.

It is calculated by the formula:

= Marginal product of labor / Marginal product of capital

= 4 / 5

= 0.8

<em>The firm should use 0.8 fewer units of capital in order to maintain the same production level. </em>

Gerard is a mid-level manager who believes that people do not like to work and try to avoid it. He therefore controls, directs,

liq [111]

Answer:

The correct answer is c. McGregor's Theory X.

Explanation:

Theory X is defined by Douglas McGregor in his 1960s book "The Human Side of Enterprise" as an <em>authoritarian</em> style of management. In the book, McGregor explains that styles of management are greatly influenced by how the manager views people. Theory X is based on the view that workers are inherently lazy and unmotivated, prefer to be directed, do not like to take responsibility and dislike to work in general. In this style of management, it is assumed that the only way to push employees to work is to provide them with incentives or punishments, according to their performance. Also, authority is centralized on a select few and employees are strictly controlled and supervised.

In this particular case, Gerard fits the Theory X style of management, as he coerces and threatens employees to push them to do their jobs. He has the belief that people don't like to work and avoid it.
