<span>If people are saving their money because of pessimistic feelings about the future then it will have an impact on current spending in the economy. When people are saving instead of investing money or purchasing large items such as homes or vehicles than the businesses in those markets are affected. For example, if there is no one buying new houses, then builders will see a decrease in work and the companies that provide building supplies will be affected. The people in the companies will also begin spending less as there is less work and less money to go around which also affects the economy on a large scale.</span>
Answer: The correct answer is C. The value of the best alternative that is given up in order to do or get something.
Explanation: Opportunity cost literally means alternative thing forgone - meaning what is given up to get something <em>(sacrifice</em>). It is a concept used by economists to allocate limited resources for production, consumption, distribution and exchange of goods and services. Production of goods or services entails the creation of value. In other words, it gives a more understanding on how limited resources are allocated in order to satisfy the human insatiable desires.
For example, a student may be constrained with limited amount of pocket money, say $100 and the student wants to buy textbooks that cost $10 each or go for different outings going for $20 each. In this scenario, the student has different options: a) buy 10 textbooks and 0 outing b) buy 8 textbooks and a outing c) 6 textbooks and two outings d) 4 textbooks and three outings e) 0 textbooks and five outings. For the student to have any more of the other, he has to give up the other unit. What is given up is called opportunity cost.
Answer:
$20,226
Explanation:
expected sales = 11,400 - 12,000 - 12,600
expected sales price = $7.20 - $7.50 - $7.80
expected variable cost = $3.072 - $3.20 - $3.328
total fixed costs = $31,000
if you use an excel spreadsheet you can calculate all the different possible simulations and combine all the expected sales x 3 different price levels x 3 different variable costs and 1 fixed cost. Once you get all the 27 possible solutions, you just get the average.

Answer:
(i) $14,000
(ii) $32,000
(iii) $10,000
Explanation:
Cost of the machine that is recorded in the books of accounts is the total cost incurred to make the machine useful and useable.
Cost for each machine:
= amount paid for the assets + installation costs + renovation cost prior to use.
Therefore,
Cost of Machine A = 11,000 + 500 + 2,500
= $14,000
Cost of Machine B = 30,000 + 1,000 + 1,000
= $32,000
Cost of Machine C = 8000 + 500 + 1500
= $10,000
