Answer:
B. common area elements
Explanation:
Common Area elements are those spaces in real estate that are meant for general use. They are not owned exclusively by one person but are rather shared by the people who live within the area. The people pay some maintenance fee to keep the common area elements in good conditions.

Therefore, they can be said to be Common Area elements. Common Area elements can be found in residential, business and Government-owned properties.
Answer: b) Supply is inelastic and demand is inelastic.
Explanation: Dead-weight loss is the loss in total surplus when a tax is imposed on a good which restricts demand and supply from balancing. When both the demand and the supply curves are inelastic, the effect of a tax will be lead to a small change in the quantity being traded in the market. Thus, the equilibrium quantity at the taxed price will not fall much and the dead weight loss will therefore, be smaller.
Answer:
The cash disbursements for selling and administrative expenses should be $45,520
Explanation:
The selling and administrative (S&A) expenses have two parts: a variable one and a fixed one.
- The variable part depends on how many units have been sold. So, if the variable S&A expense per unit is $4.1, and 3,600 units are planned to be sold, the total variable S&A expense should be
- The fixed part does not depend on the units sold. It remains the same no matter how many units have been sold. Yet, it includes depreciation of $5,100. The depreciation does not represent an exit of money. It isn't part of the cash flow. So, the total fixed S&A expenses should be
- Finally, the total S&A expenses should be
Answer:
a. What is the MRP? What is the MRC? Should the firm add this delivery vehicle?
marginal revenue product = marginal product of labor x marginal revenue per output unit
MRP = 1,500 packages x $0.10 per package = $150
marginal resource cost (MRC) = $100 (the cost of renting the delivery truck)
The company should add the delivery truck because MRP is higher than MRC.
b. Now suppose that the cost of renting a vehicle doubles to $200 per day. What are the MRP and MRC in this situation?
MRP = $150 (doesn't change from question a)
MRC = $200 (the cost of renting the delivery truck)
The company should not add the delivery truck because MRP is less than MRC.
c. Next suppose that the cost of renting a vehicle falls back down to $100 per day, but, due to extremely congested freeways, an additional vehicle would only be able to deliver 750 packages per day. What are the MRP and MRC in this situation? Would adding a vehicle under these circumstances increase the firm's profits?
MRP = 750 packages x $0.10 per package = $75
MRC = $100
The company should not add the delivery truck because MRP is less than MRC.
