A clothing manufacturer has the marginal profit function mp(x) = 40 − 0.02 x , 0≤ x≤ 100 (in dollars per suits), where x is the number of suits produced and sold each week. the initial profit is mp(0) = −200 . due to the fixed costs. using a definite integral, it is determined that the total profit from producing and selling 80 suits is
Answer:
2990.46$
Explanation:
The explanation is shown in the picture attached
The total profit for a manufacturing company can be calculated by integrating the marginal profit function from 0 to the given quantity of units sold. In this case, to find the total profit from producing and selling 80 suits, we integrate the function mp(x) = 40 - 0.02x from 0 to 80. Fixed costs are also taken into consideration to optimize profit.
Explanation:The subject of this question is the computation of profit given a marginal profit function and a specified output level. In the example provided, a clothing manufacturer's marginal profit function is given as mp(x) = 40 - 0.02x. The profit-maximizing level of output is determined by the intersection of Marginal Revenue (MR) and Marginal Cost (MC). In this particular case, MR and MC intersect at a quantity of 40.
The problem specifies that the company's initial profit is mp(0) = -200 due to fixed costs. If the manufacturer produces and sells 80 suits, we would calculate that by integrating the function mp(x) from 0 to 80.
Remember, when calculating the total profit, one needs to account for both the variable profits (calculated from the marginal profit function) and the fixed costs. This allows us to maximize profit by finding the optimal number of suits to produce and sell, taking into account both fixed and variable costs.

Tinker's cost of goods sold in the year of sale (2019) was $790,000 and 2018 cost of goods sold was $810,000. The inventory at the end of 2019 was $192,000 and at the end of 2018 the inventory was $212,000. Tinker’s average number of days to sell its inventory during 2019 is closest to: (Use 365 days a year. Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Answer:
91 days
Explanation:
Here, we are to calculate the average number of days it will take to sell its inventory in 2019.
We proceed mathematically as follows;
Inventory turnover=COGS/Average inventory
Average inventory=(192,000 + 202,000)/2=$197,000
hence inventory turnover=(790,000/197,000)= 4.01
hence average days to sell=365/4.01 =91 days (approx)
Final answer:
The average number of days to sell inventory for Tinker in 2019 is calculated using the Inventory Turnover Ratio and Days Sales of Inventory formula, resulting in approximately 93 days.
Explanation:
To find Tinker's average number of days to sell its inventory during 2019, we use the Inventory Turnover Ratio and the Days Sales of Inventory formula. The Inventory Turnover Ratio is calculated by dividing the Cost of Goods Sold by the Average Inventory for the year.
The formula for Average Inventory is:
(Beginning Inventory + Ending Inventory) / 2
For Tinker, the Average Inventory in 2019 = ($212,000 + $192,000) / 2 = $202,000.
The Inventory Turnover Ratio for 2019 = $790,000 / $202,000 ≈ 3.91 times.
The Days Sales of Inventory is then found by dividing the number of days in the year by the Inventory Turnover Ratio:
65 days / 3.91 ≈ 93.35 days
Therefore, the average days to sell inventory for Tinker in 2019 is closest to 93 days.

The production of rice in the year 2001 was 1000 tones which was 25% of the total food grain production in that year. In the next year if the production of rice decreased by 4% and production of rice as a percentage of total food grain production increased by 5 percentage points, what is the total food grain production in 2002?
Answer:
3200 tonnes
Explanation
Production of rice in 2001 =1000 tonnes
% rice to total production = 25%
Total production =100/25 *1000 = 4000 tonnes
2002 production of rice decrease by 4%
Decrease = 4% * 1000 = 40
Production of rice =960
% production of rice increase by 5% = 25%+5%= 30%
Total food production 100/30*960 =3200 tonnes

Why are creditors harmed by unexpected inflation? a. Creditors receive lower nominal rates of interest when prices rise. b. Creditors are paid back with more valuable dollars. c. Creditors receive higher nominal rates of interest when prices rise. d. Creditors are paid back money with less spending power than when it was originally loaned out.
Answer:
d. Creditors are paid back money with less spending power than when it was originally loaned out.
Explanation:
Creditors are the entities to whom people or firms owe money. Eg : If A owes money to B, B is A's creditor.
Inflation is the rise in price level. It implies the same money has less purchasing (spending) power, due to price rise.
Normal Inflation is accounted by the creditors as the interest, which is added to the principal value of loaned amount, at the time of repayment.
However, unexpected inflation : It implies that creditors are repaid back money in the time, when that money has less purchasing power than the time when it had been lent. And, this unexpected fall in value of money is not accommodated into the interest rates also (since it was unexpected)

Less
Beginning Inventory: 98,000, 80% 20% 78,400 18000
FIFO Equivalent Units 299,300 353,850
2) We calculate the total costs
Direct Materials Conversion
Costs in beginning Work in Process -$55,200 $97,700
Costs incurred in October - $844,050 $937,300.
Total Cost $ 899250 1035,000
3) In FIFO The cost per unit is based only on the current costs and current period unit productions.
Materials = $844050/299300= $2.82
Conversion = 937,300 / 353,850 = 2.6488= $2.65

Chocolate Supreme purchased new baking equipment for $15,000 subject to terms 4/10, n/45. The discount was taken. Additional costs included $900 in sales tax and $300 for installation. The total cost to be added to the machinery account is
Answer:
Cost of machine =$ 15600
Explanation:
According to International Accounting standards (IAS) 16 property plan and equipment (PPE), the cost of an asset is the purchase cost plus other costs of bringing it to the intended working conditions.
So we will add the purchase cost to the cost of delivery, tax and installation.

Jean, a restaurant critic, publishes a review in a national daily that the sandwiches served at his friend's deli are usually not fresh. Tom, the owner of the deli, notices a significant decrease in customers after the review gets published. Although the statement made by Jean in his review is true, Tom wants to sue Jean. Can Tom recover from Jean for defamation?
Answer:
No.
Explanation:
Defamation is not a crime by its definition, but rather a tort or a civil wrong. Written defamation is called a label and is referred to a statement that can hurt someone's reputation. In order to prove the existence of defamation, several things need to be verified:
statement is publishedstatement is falsestatement is injuriousstatement must be unprivilegedThe last one of these assumes that under some circumstances, victim cannot submit an appeal, even if it is possible to prove that the statement is false. This is the case with for instance witnesses in court, who cannot be sued for false testimony, due to freedom of speech, but can be prosecuted for perjury. In our case, three of four conditions necessary for sue to be made are fulfilled. The second one is not, therefore Tom cannot sue Jean for defamation.
