Answer:
D. The marginal cost of light is zero, and by convention zero-priced goods and services are excluded from GDP
Explanation:
Only things that have a monetary cost are included in GDP. Things that do not cost "anything" in monetary terms are not included, and this is a major shortcoming of GDP.
From an ecological economics standpoint, things like sunlight, air, and water are often not valued and included in GDP. This is the same case as in the question, because the marginal cost of light is zero, then, it is not included in GDP.
Answer:
Option (A) is correct.
Explanation:
Given that,
Units sold = 6,000 units
Sales = $565,000
Selling and administrative expenses = $67,000
Operating income:
= Sales - Cost of Goods Sold - Selling and administrative expenses
= $565,000 - ($305,000 + $14,000 + $43,000 - $42,000) - $67,000
= $565,000 - $320,000 - $67,000
= $178,000
Therefore, the operating income for the year is $178,000.
Answer:
Option (b) is correct.
Explanation:
Correct amount of inventory to be reported:
Amount of inventory as per physical verification = $320,000
Cost of goods under consignment to Herschel Corporation = $47,000
Value of inventory to be reported:
= Amount of inventory as per physical verification + Cost of goods under consignment to Herschel Corporation
= $320,000 + $47,000
= $367,000

<em>The factors of production typically include land, labor, capital, entrepreneurship, and the state of technological progress.</em>
<u>Explanation:</u>
In economics, capital typically refers to money. But money is not a factor of production because it is not directly involved in producing a good or service.
