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

An economic contraction caused by a shift in aggregate demand causes prices to a. rise in the short run, and rise even more in t
raketka [301]

Answer:

c. fall in the short run, and fall even more in the long run.

Explanation:

The aggregate demand shifts to the left in recession or contractions, in consequence the level of prices falls. For this analysis we consider the shor-run supply curve with a positive slop.

As we know, the economy in the long run tends to equilibrium, where the the production level is fixed and equal to the potential of production of the economy. The initial reduction of prices incentives the consumption in the long run, stabilizing with the long run quantites in a minor level of prices.

In the attached image you can observe the process described previously.

The answer is "2.45%".

Explanation:

The answer of option c:

Reduce power by 950 dollars:

In this question it will need to once again take the latest energy cost for analytical hierarchical productivity.  

→ Total Input  = 400 \times  12+21000 \times 1 +(5000-950)+10000

                     = 4800 +21000 + (4050)+10000  \\\\                       = 25800+4050+10000 \\\\                       = 39850\\

Consumer rates  = \frac{1,000}{39,850}

                            =0.0250

Initial efficiency multi-factor= 0.0245

\to \text{percentage  changes} = \frac{\text{New Multi Factor Productivity - Previous Multi-Factor Productivity}}{\text{Originbal Multi-Factor Productivity}}  

                                   = \frac{(0.02450.0251)}{0.0245}\\\\ = 2.45 \ \  \%
