D. Average and below-average customers.

Consider that below-average customers would lose a company money because below-average customers buy less and potentially cost more than average customers. Therefore, if a company only targeted average and below-average customers, their revenue would be pulled down by the below-average customers and their expenses or costs would be pulled up by the below-average customers. These two factors could contribute to the company losing money.

Verdich [7]

Answer:

3. Correctly ignored a sunk cost

Explanation:

Sunk costs refer to those costs which have been incurred in the past and which can no longer be recovered. For example, past expenditure on research and development with no current or future benefits represent sunk costs which can no longer be recovered.

Sunk costs are irrelevant for decision making process as they do not relate to current projects and yield no economic benefit.

In the given case, Manuel had already purchased a $10 movie ticket, which can neither be transferred nor eligible for a refund. Later when he does not exercise the option of going for the movie and opts for a concert instead, the amount of 10$ spent on the movie represents a sunk cost which is non recoverable.

Jan. 20:

Debit Cash $66,880

Credit Notes receivable $66,000

Credit Interest receivable $880

Explanation:

Note receivable is a promissory note with a written promise made by the borrower to the lender (payee) to pay a certain, definite sum at a specified date.

Interest revenue on the notes is calculated as: Principal x Interest Rate x Time

In this case, the total interest expense is $66,000 x 8%/12 x 2 months = $880.

Total interest expense to the Company as at December 31 is therefore $880 / 60 days x 11 days = $161.33.
