The model calculates all the income and benefits as well as all the associated costs, substracting the costs from the benefits. This is how you can determine the opportunity cost for each project or system.

Warren Company began the accounting period with a $32,000 debit balance in its accounts receivable account. During the accountin

ra1l [238]

Answer:

The answer is : $104,000

Explanation:

First, we have to lay out the particulars, and explain what each of them mean:

debit balance in account receivable = $32,000. This refers to an amount that cusomers owed the company at the beginning of the period.

revenue recorded = $88,000. This refers to the total sales made by the company.

At the end of the period, we are told that the account receivable contained a balance of $16,000

Therefore it means that after all the payments (both balance from previous period and sales transactions) have been made in cash, the amount which the customers owed the company = $16,000.

Hence the cash collected is calculated as follows

(debit balance at beginning + revenue) - debit balance at the end = cash collected

(32,000 + 88,000) - 16,000 = cash collected

120,000 - 16,000 = cash collected

cash collected = $104,000

max2010maxim [7]

Answer: Not necessarily

Explanation:

Consumer purchase decisions are dependent on multiple factors such as price, income and preference. It could be that the customer purchased the Kia because the price was less than that of the Honda and so she wanted to save and costs and bought the less expensive choice.

It could also mean that the Kia was all she could afford based on her income so she bought that. It could however also mean that the Kia is her preference as compared to the Honda so she chose that instead.

It is therefore not a foregone conclusion that she bought the Kia simply because she preferred it. More information would be needed to reach that conclusion definitively.
