Answer:
So, from a short-run perspective, so long as the sale does not affect other output prices or normal sales volume, a "below cost" sale may result in a net increase in income so long as the revenues cover the differential costs.
However, in the long run all costs must be covered or management would not reinvest in the same type of assets.
If the company must continually sell below the full cost of production then it will most likely get out of that particular business when it comes time to replace those facilities.
Answer:
A) retained earnings represents a claim on cash.
Explanation:
Retained earnings are the accumulated profits that a company keeps that are left after dividends are paid. Retained earnings are the equivalent of a savings account for an individual. Retained earnings are shown in the balance sheet as part of owners' equity.
For example, corporation A had a net profit of $10 million during last year, and it paid dividends for a total of $4 million, its retained earnings for last year are $6 million.
Companies use retained earnings as money available for financing new or existing projects.

Wait time would have to be at least 40 minutes to prevent college students from waiting.
Answer:
Cost of units completed = $176,528
Workings are attached:
Explanation:
Equivalent unit of production
An equivalent unit of production is an expression of the amount of work done by a manufacturer on units of output that are partially completed at the end of an accounting period. Basically the fully completed units and the partially completed units are expressed in terms of fully completed units.
Equivalent units are used in the production cost reports for the producing departments of manufacturers using a process costing system. Cost accounting textbooks are likely to present the cost calculations per equivalent unit of production under two cost flow assumptions: weighted-average and FIFO.
Conversion costs
Conversion costs is a term used in cost accounting that represents the combination of direct labor costs and manufacturing overhead costs. In other words, conversion costs are a manufacturer's product or production costs other than the cost of a product's direct materials.
Expressed another way, conversion costs are the manufacturing or production costs necessary to convert raw materials into products.
The term conversion costs often appears in the calculation of the <u>cost of an</u> <u>equivalent unit in a process costing system.</u>
For the sake of this question, we will be determining the <u>equivalent units of production:</u>
- Units completed and transferred subject to material and conversion costs
- Units in the closing inventory subject to material and conversion costs
- We will then calculate the cost per units with respect to material and conversion costs for the equivalent units.
- These cost per units will enable us to determine the cost of items completed.
