Under what conditions would you choose a job-costing system and under what conditions would you choose a process-costing system? Give some examples of products that would be costed under each method.
A company hs built a plant that cost $20,000. Each worker costs $5.00 per hour. Based on this information, please fill in the attached table.
The demand for speciality glue is given as follows: P = 1200 - 6Q, where P is price per 100 pounds of specialty glue produced and Q is the amount produced and sold in hundreds of pounds. The marginal cost of producing glue for the entire glue industry is as follows: MPC = 700 + 2Q. Let the production of speciality glue result in
"Because of economics of scale, it is sometimes more cost effective for a firm to operate a large plant at less than maximum efficiency than a small plant at maximum efficiency." Do you agree or disagree and why? Adding personal experience/knowledge is always appreciated!

A certain production process employs two inputs - labor (L) and raw materials (R). Output (Q) is a function of these two inputs and is given by the following relationship: Q = 6L2 R2 - .10L3 R3. Assume that raw materials (input R) are fixed at 10 units. How many units of input L are required to maximize the total produ
