ANSWER: To calculate the gross profit for the month of August, Gibson will have to find out the sales in his company. Gibson had a opening stock of 200 units of products valuing $8 per unit. The total value of the stock available at the opening of the month is $8 x 200 units = $1,600. If he uses the average cost method to calculate the inventory cost, he will need the opening stock and the production done in the month of August. This will give him the figure which will show his entire stock which were available for sale in the month.
Let's assume the entire stock produced in the month of August to be 'x', so the total stock available for sale was '$1,600+x'. This amount needs to be subtracted by the closing stock of the month to get the actual value of sales that has happened during the month of August. So, dividing the actual value of sales by the production cost of the sold number of units will give Gibson the gross profit for the month of August.
Answer:Ricardo works part time at a local computer store. One day, his manager approaches him about moving from cashier to floor supervisor. Ricardo is excited because the promotion comes with a raise; however, the extra work hours would take away from time with his friends. In the end, he decides to take the promotion. Ricardo's opportunity cost is choosing the promotion over time with his friends.
<u>Explanation:</u>
When there are many options in front of us.Out of these options when we select one we have to forgo the other options. While we forgo other options we have to bear the loss. So the opportunity cost is the cost of the next best option that we have given up.
if Ricardo works extra hours than he will not get time to spend with his friends so this is his loss which is arising due to the benefit he is getting from promotion. This loss will be his opportunity cost.
The criteria for distinguishing between whether an expenditure is a capital item or a deductible expense is the useful life of the item.
If the purchase is going to be used and no longer have value at the end of the reporting period it is an expense for that period. If the item is a capital item it is going to have a longer useful life. In this case the item is depreciated over its useful life, assigning an expense amount to each accounting period that the item has value.
Answer:
<u>$50</u>
<u>Explanation</u>:
In the production function, Q = K0.5L0.5,
K denotes the fixed input in the short run.
First, we calculate the total cost:
Cost of Capital= 25 x $1 = $25
Cost of Labor (for a start 25 workers are used)= 25 x $1 = $25
Total= $50
Since the price of the solar panels is $100, substrating from the total cost $50 (100-50) we get $50 profit per unit of solar panel.
