Notice that the table is partial and doesn't start at 0, and also that it doesn't go in increments of one at a time (so marginal values are approximations rather than exact).
The firm sells its output for P = $6.50. See below:

The Pole Division produces poles which can be sold to outside customers or transferred to the Flag Division. The following data are available for last year's activities in the Pole Division:
Capacity in units 400,000 poles
Outside demand 380,000 poles
Demand by Flag Division 25,000 poles
Selling price $5.00
Variable cost $2.75
Total fixed
costs $200,000
On a transfer to the Flag Division, the Pole Division can save $0.65 of the variable costs per unit transferred. HINT: Figure out the opportuning cost for the 5,000 units and average over the total units transferred.

FIFO and LIFO Costs Under Perpetual Inventory System
The following units of an item were available for sale during the year:
| Beginning inventory | 46 units at $41 |
| Sale | 32 units at $57 |
| First purchase | 40 units at $43 |
| Sale | 44 units at $58 |
| Second purchase | 16 units at $46 |
| Sale | 6 units at $59 |
The firm uses the perpetual inventory system, and there are 20 units of the item on hand at the end of the year.
a. What is the total cost of the ending
inventory according to FIFO?
$
b. What is the total cost of the ending
inventory according to LIFO?

During the gasoline crunch in the mid and late seventies, the price of gas was kept below the market-clearing price. Often this policy resulted in long lines. Assume two possible states of the world:
1) Gas costs $1.00 a gallon with no waiting
2) Gas costs $0.60 a gallon, but requires half an hour wait
Howard Outoluck is unemployed and figures his time is worth nothing. He also has a 20-gallon tank What is the total cost for Howard to fill his gas tank in the two scenarios given above? Which scenario would Howard prefer? *Be sure to consider the total opportunity cost in this example.

big band corporation produces a semiconductor chip used on communications. the direct materials are added at hte start of the production process while conversion costs are added uniformly throughout the production process. big band had no inventory at the start of june. during the month it incurred direct material cost of $935,750 and conversion costs of $4,554,000. big band started 475,000 chips and completed 425,000 of them in june. ending inventory was 50% complete as to conversion costs.
Compute (a) the equivalent units of work done in June, and (b) the total manufacturing cost per chip. Allocate the total costs between the completed chips and those in ending inventory.
