COMPLETE QUESTION:
The statements and equations below show various ways of defining average variable cost, marginal cost, and average total cost. Below, TC is used to abbreviate total cost, VC is used to abbreviate Variable cost, and Q is used to abbreviate quantity. Classify each statement or equation according to whether it describes average variable cost, marginal cost, or average (total) cost.
Average Variable Cost Marginal Cost Average (Total) Cost
The amount by which total cost increases when an additional unit is produced
Total cost divided by quantity of output
Change in the total cost divided by change in output
VC / Q
The sum of all costs that change as output changes divided by the number of units produced.
TC / Q
ΔTC/ΔQ
Answer and Explanation:
Marginal Cost is the value by which total cost increases when more units are produced.
Marginal Cost = VC / Q
Average Variable Cost is the cost per the quantity of output. It is the difference in the Total Cost per change in output.
Average Cost is the addition of all costs that change due to changes in output per the number of units produced.
TC / Q= Variable Cost
ΔTC/ΔQ= marginal cost
Answer:
It would take 162 minutes to make one unit of product X.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Hours available to produce the products are the constrained resources.
Soap could reduce the processing time for X by 10 percent.
X Y
Sales Price $20 $25
Variable Cost 14 15
Hours needed to process 3 5
<u>First, we need to determine the number of minutes required to make one unit of Product X under the new method:</u>
Number of minutes required= (3*60)*0.9= 162 minutes.
It would take 162 minutes to make one unit of product X.
B) False. The contribution margin per hour of Product B is higher than product Y.
C) False. The contribution margin per hour of $2 was before the improvement in product X.
D) False. Product Y has a higher contribution margin per unit but lower compared to the contribution margin per hour.
Answer: $58,000
Explanation:
If Zhou is allowed to treat the departments as components of a single activity then ALL the losses suffered by Department B can be offset against the Income of Department A because they will be treated as a singular business.
Seeing as Department A has a higher income of $70,000 than the loss of Department B of $58,000, all of Department B's loss can therefore be offset by Department A.
Answer:
transferred out (COGM) 131,000
Cost of goods sold: 129,000
Explanation:
DM used 46,500
Direct labor 27,500
Overhead <u> 55,000 </u>
Total: 129,000 cost added for the period
Then, we calcualte the amount transferred-out:
Beginning WIP 14,000
Cost added 129,000
Ending WIP (12,000)
Trasferred out: 131,000 (cost of goods manufactured)
And finally, the cost of goods sold for the year:
Beginning FG 16,000
Trasferred out 131,000
Ending FG (18,000)
COGS: 129,000
