question 487

Multiple Choice

Write a polynomial function of minimum degree with real coefficients whose zeros include those listed. Write the
polynomial in standard form.
-2 (multiplicity 1 ) and $- 4$ (multiplicity 3 )

• A) \(f ( x ) = x ^ { 4 } - 10 x ^ { 3 } + 24 x ^ { 2 } - 32 x - 128\)
• B) \(f ( x ) = x ^ { 4 } + 10 x ^ { 3 } + 24 x ^ { 2 } + 32 x - 128\)
• C) \(f ( x ) = x ^ { 4 } + 10 x ^ { 3 } + 24 x ^ { 2 } - 32 x - 128\)
• D) \(f ( x ) = x ^ { 4 } + 10 x ^ { 3 } + 24 x ^ { 2 } - 32 x + 128\)

A concept in cost accounting used to allocate costs to partially completed goods, converting them into the amount of finished goods units that could have been produced.

Conversion Costs

The combined costs of direct labor and overhead associated with transforming materials into finished goods.

Weighted-Average Method

An inventory costing method that calculates the cost of goods sold and ending inventory based on the average cost of all items available for sale during the period, weighted by the number of units.

Costs Per Equivalent Unit

A calculation used in process costing that distributes costs evenly across units produced, factoring in various stages of completion.
