Answer:

4. The firm is minimizing its losses OR maximizing its Profit

Explanation:

Assume a monopolistically competitive firm faces the following situation:

P $20, output 13,000 units, MC 16 ATC $22, AVC = $15, and MR = $16 which statement BEST describes the firm's situation?

The statement that best describes the firm situation is that it is maximizing its profit or minimizing its losses because profit is maximized where Marginal cost is equal to marginal revenue, and that is the case of this firm. MC=MR at $16.

In conclusion, since the firm is maximizing profit, it needs not change anything but to keep producing at this level of output and price.

Pharoah Company just began business and made the following four inventory purchases in June: June 1 186 units $1290 June 10 248
kherson [118]

Answer:

<u>Ending Inventory 2,092</u>

<u></u>

Explanation:

PURCHASES  

DATE QUANTY PRICE         SUBTOTAL

1       186                 $6.935484   $1,290.00

10      248                   $7.78226   $1,930.00

15      248                  $8.38710   $2,080.00

28       186                  $8.81720   $1,640.00

<em>Inventory on hand 260</em>

Using FIFO <u>we have to pick from the bottom of the table</u> until reach 240 unit.

last line: June 28th 186 units total cost 1640

<em>240 - 186 = 54 units </em>

we need 54 more units so we go to next purchase

June 15th 54 units  at 8.3810 = 542.034 = 542

Now we add to get total ending ivnentory

186 units 1640

54 units 452

<u>Ending Inventory 2,092</u>

The following information was drawn from the accounting records of Chapin Company. On January 1, Year 1, Chapin paid $56,000 cas
mote1985 [20]

Answer: Please refer to Explanation

Explanation:

a)

The truck was bought for $56,000 and has a 5 year useful value after which it will have a salvage value of $6,000.

Depreciation can therefore be calculated as,

= ( Cost - Salvage) / Useful life

= (56,000 - 6,000) / 5

= $10,000

It will be depreciated at $10,000 per year.

Recording it will be,

DR Depreciation $10,000

CR Accumulated Depreciation (Truck) $10,000

(To record Depreciation expense to the year)

b) The Book Value is calculated as the Original Cost less the Accumulated Depreciation.

The Accumulated Depreciation so far being the first year is only $10,000.

The Book Value therefore is,

= 56,000 - 10,000

= $46,000

c) It is estimated that 5% of Credit Sales will be Uncollectible. This will go into the Uncollectible Account Balance. This is done to cater for the possibility that some people will not pay the money they owe so if they don't, it is simply taken from this account.

Sales are $320,000 and 5% are estimated Uncollectible.

This means that,

= 320,000 * 5%

= $16,000 will be recorded in the Uncollectible Account Balance

Recording it looks like,

DR Uncollectible Account Expense $16,000

CR Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $16,000

(To record Uncollectible Account Expense)

d) The Net Realizable Value of the Receivables will be Receivables less the Uncollectible Account Expense which will be removed to reflect the belief that some debtors will default.

Receivables are $68,000 and the Uncollectible Amount is $ 16,000.

Net Realizable Value = 68,000 - 16,000

Net Realizable Value = $52,000
