Answer:

$118,000

Explanation:

We know the purchase price of land = $100,000

Also any kind of brokerage or commission is added to such cost as it is part of acquisition and one time expense, thus capital in nature.

Thus, $8,000 paid as brokerage will be added.

Also the one time expense in the capital nature being the demolishing expense will be added to cost.

Thus, net cost of land = $100,000 + $8,000 + $10,000 = $118,000

Some of the salvage sold results in an income for the company, and that shall form part of income statement, and has nothing to do with cost of land.

Thus, net historical cost = $118,000

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

The correct option is c. $8.

Explanation:

Ken will maximize utility where the following equation holds:

MU of Sprite / Price of Sprite = MU of potato chips / Price of potato chips ................. (1)

Where;

MU of Sprite = Marginal utility of Sprite = 3

Price of Sprite = $1 per can

From the table in the question, equation (1) holds at the point where Marginal utility of potato chips is 6 since the Potato chips cost $2 per bag.

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

MU of Sprite / Price of Sprite = MU of potato chips / Price of potato chips => 3 / 1 = 6 / 2 = 3

Since when the marginal utility of potato chips that maximizes utility is 6, Ken consumes 4 Bags of Potato chips monthly and pays $2 per bag at this point, the amount he spends on potato chips each month can be calculated as follows:

Amount spent on potato monthly = Number of bags of Potato chips consumed monthly * Cost of potato chips per bag = 4 * $2 = $8

Therefore, the correct option is c. $8.
