Answer:

d) Debit Expenses $50,000 and Claims payable $100,000; Credit Cash $150,000.

Explanation:

As for the information provided,

There was this law suit against the company from past several years. Where the lawyers already estimated that liability on the company will arise amounting $100,000.

Thus, on the provisional basis such claims of $100,000 would have been provided ideally.

Now, after final judgement the court had cleared about the claim which is $150,000.

Thus, entry to record such claim of $150,000 will be:

Expenses A/c Dr.               $50,000

Claims Payable A/c Dr.      $100,000

    To Cash A/c                                             $150,000

Answer: Ordinal scale.

Explanation:Ordinal scale is the level of measurement that gives the ranking of data without showing the degree of variation between them. It helps in identifying if object has more or less characteristic when compared to another object but does not tell the exact weight of the characteristic. Data in Ordinal scale is usually given in order of magnitude since there is no standard of measurement of differences. For example 1=most willing to 5=least willing.

Comparing perfect first degree price discrimination to perfect competition one can conclude that: (i) Total social surplus is th
marta [7]

Answer:

C. Both (i) and (ii) are true

Explanation:

Under perfect price discrimination, consumer surplus doesn't exist since the supplier is selling the good or service at the maximum price that each consumer is willing to pay. This situation maximizes supplier surplus.

Under perfect competition, both supplier and consumer surplus exist.

Since total social surplus = supplier surplus + consumer surplus, total surplus should be the same in both situations.
