  1. True or false?(1 point each)
    1. When marginal product is less than average product, average product is decreasing.
    2. In the long run, fixed costs are small.
    3. Marginal cost is the increase in total cost that results from a one-unit increase in a variable input.
    4. The vertical distance between the average variable cost curve and the average total cost curve equals average fixed cost.
    5. Average fixed costs are constant.
    6. Perfectly competitive firms are price takers.
    7. In the long run, perfectly competitive firms make zero economic profit, that is, their owners make a normal profit.
    8. In the short-run, a firm shuts down when the price is less than the average total cost.
    9. If a firm is maximizing profits, the extra revenue it receives from selling its last unit of output exceeds the extra cost of producing that unit.

TASK-1 Using EOQ technique calculate the required items

Tim John is the purchasing manager at the headquarters of a multinational fast food chain with a central inventory operation. Tim's fastest-moving inventory item has a demand of 30 units per day. The cost of each unit is $150, and the inventory carrying cost is $5 per unit per year. The average ordering cost is $70 per order. (It is a corporate operation, and there are 300 working days per year)

  1. What is the EOQ?
  2. What is the average inventory if the EOQ is used?
  3. What is the optimal number of orders per year?
  4. What is the optimal number of days in between any two orders?
  5. What is the annual cost of ordering and holding inventory?
  6. What is total inventory management cost?
  7. What is total materials cost
  8. What is the total annual inventory cost to be recorded in accounts?

Every year Bridgeport Industries manufactures 6,200 units of part 231 for use in its production cycle. The per unit costs of part 231 are as follows:

Direct materials $ 5
Direct labor 12
Variable manufacturing overhead 6
Fixed manufacturing overhead 10
Total $33


Flintrock, Inc., has offered to sell 6,200 units of part 231 to Bridgeport for $34 per unit. If Bridgeport accepts Flintrock’s offer, its freed-up facilities could be used to earn $12,800 in contribution margin by manufacturing part 240. In addition, Bridgeport would eliminate 40% of the fixed overhead applied to part 231.

(a) Calculate total relevant cost to make and net cost to buy.

Total relevant cost to make $Enter total relevant cost to make in dollars
Net relevant cost to buy $Enter net relevant cost to buy in dollars


(b) Should Bridgeport accept Flintrock’s offer?

Revis Consulting enters

On January 1 Revis Consulting enters into a contract to complete a cost reduction program for Green Financial over a six-month period. Green will pay Revis $20,000 at the end of each month. If total cost savings reach a specific target, Green will pay an additional $10,000 to Revis at the end of the contract, but if total cost savings fall short, Revis will refund $10,000 to Green. Revis estimates an 80% chance that cost savings will reach the target and calculates the contract price based on the probability-weighted amounts of future payments to be received. Revis accounts for this arrangement.

 

Required:

Prepare the following journal entries for Revis:

1. The journal entry on January 31 to record the first month of revenue under the contract.

2. Assuming total cost savings exceed target, the journal entry on June 30 to record receipt of the bonus.

3. Assuming total cost savings fall short of target, the journal entry on June 30 to record payment of the penalty.

Q. 2 Suppose that long- run average cost AC = 200 - 4Q + 0.05Q^2. What is the quantity at which AC is at a minimum? What is the value of AC and MC at this rate of production? What is the long- run equilibrium price?

Q. 3: The Burr Corporation's total cost function (where TC is the total cost in dollars and Q is quantity) is TC= 200 + 4Q+ 2Q^2 a. If the fi rm is perfectly competitive and the price of its product is $24, what is its optimal output rate? b. At this output rate, what is its profitt?

Q 4: The White Company is a member of the lamp industry, which is perfectly competitive. The price of a lamp is $50. The fi rm's total cost function is TC = 1,000 + 20Q + 5Q^2 where TC is total cost (in dollars) and Q is hourly output. a. What output maximizes profitt? b. What is the firm's economic profitt at this output? c. What is the firm's average cost at this output?
