Avalon's decision to __________ is a long run decision.
A. Move to Larger Space
B. Hire 15 more employees
Answer:
Option A. Move to Larger Space
Explanation:
The decision that alters only a single variable factor is considered as a short run decision. Labor, electricity usage, increased production are examples of variable factors. This means that increase in employees is a short run decision.
On the other hand, decision to increase or decrease the fixed factors are considered as long run decision because it is difficult to alter the decision and if we do so, then we will encounter heavy losses for a long period of time. Long run decision includes selling or purchasing or leasing of property, plant and equipment are considered as fixed factors.
In this case, Avalon is considering to move to a larger space which will result in significant increae in fixed cost. Hence it is fixed factor and is long run decision. Hence Option A is correct here.
Answer:
The answer is: ALL THE OPTIONS ARE WRONG
Explanation:
A) In the short run, the firm will shut down if the price of its product is < $12.
B) In the long run, the firm will shut down if the price of its product is < $15.
C) The minimum value of variable cost equals the variable cost of producing 1 single unit, not the variable cost of producing 200 units.
D) If the firm's fixed costs are $500, it means that they decreased. According to the question the fixed costs were $690 (230 units x $3 per unit). So if the fixed costs decrease, then the average total cost should also decrease, not increase to $16.
Answer:
Total Fixed costs: $
Rent 2,000
Utilities 700
Salaries 2,950
Advertising 50
Total fixed cost 5,700
Contribution per car = Selling price - Unit variable cost
= $10.50 - $2.50
= $8.00 per car
Break-even point in full-service car
= <u>Total fixed cost</u>
Contribution per car
= <u>$5,700</u>
$8.00
= 712.5 = 713 cars
Explanation:
Break-even point in full-service car equals total fixed cost divided by contribution per car. Contribution per car is selling price minus variable cost per car.

Answer:
The book value of patents should be reported at: $336,000.
Explanation:
Under U.S GAAP, R&D is not permitted to capitalized, thus R&D expenses incurred in the period is not relevant in calculation the book value of patent. On the other hand, successful ligation costs are allowed to be capitalized.
We have the book value of patents = Book value at opening of 2020 + Cost of successful patent infringement suit at 1st December 2020 - amortization of patents in the period of the year 2020;
where: Amortization of patents in the period = 12 months of book value at opening of 2020 amortization + 1 month of Cost of successful patent infringement suit = 288,000/ ( 8 x 12) x 12 + 85,000/( 1 + 7 x 12) x 1 = 37,000 ( as amortization is distributed equally on remaining useful life ( in months))
=> The book value at the end of 2020 = 288,000 + 85,000 - 37,000 = $336,000
