In this case, we have to deduct the original equipment cost with the accumulated depreciation to date.
$600,000 - $420,00 = $180,000

Purchasing a new machine would cost $790,000, which can be deducted with the remaining value of the old machine plus its value once sold. To do this, we have:
$790,000 - $180,000 - $8,000 = $602,000

The sunk cost in this case is $602,000.

A city assesses property owners $50 million to extend sewer lines to their neighborhood. By year-end, however, it has not begun
serg [7]

Answer:

Recognize the assessments as assessments receivable and revenue.

Explanation:

Practically, this will result in a receivable in the reserve fund, if the amounts are not received when due.

This could be seen when an/a corporation may decide on the amount of an assessment years before the cash is been used.

But cannot really obtain the revenue at the time of the decision, since the corporation can change its decision up until the day the amount is due. Also there are no specific parties being assessed, until the owner on record is known on the day the assessment is due, also the assessment should be recognized as revenue of the reserve fund when due.

Anna35 [415]

Answer:substitution

Explanation:The substitution bias is a weakness in the Consumer Price Index that overstates inflation because it does not account for the substitution effect, when consumers choose to substitute one good for another after its price becomes cheaper than the good they normally buy.

when the price of a product in the consumer basket increases substantially, consumers tend to substitute lower-priced alternatives.

If there are important external benefits associated with the consumption of a product:_______.
pentagon [3]

Answer:

C. the market demand curve understates the relative importance of the product and resources are therefore underallocated to its production.

Explanation:

Positive external benefits refer to third party positive side effects, above & beyond private marginal benefit to the concerned consumer.

Eg : Education - Its consumption not only affects the concerned person, but the positive trickle down to the people & society around.

Personal consumption decisions are based on : equalisation - of private marginal benefit (demand) curve & private marginal cost curve. However, goods having positive external benefits have real marginal benefit curve increased over private benefit curve, by the extent of extra marginal social benefit.

So, market demand (based on private marginal benefit) curve understates the importance of product, and resources are therefore underallocated to its production (due to undervaluation of demand).
