<span>Basically "Opportunity cost" is what you're going to lose (or have a potential to lose) if you chose a different action than what you're presented with. In the example, you're working for $15 an hour, but if you decide instead to skip a pratrice to go to the fair you're losing out of the $15 an hour you'll be paid and have to pay $9 to go to the fair. All total, you're opportunity costs for that will be $24 (fifteen you would have made plus the nine dollar fee.) This is also assuming, of course, they don't fire/dock you for just skipping work.</span>

Zar company paid employee wages on and through friday,january,26 and the next playroll will be paid in february. Emploees work 5
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Debit to Salaries Expense $2,700; Credit to Salaries Payable $2,700

Explanation:

In accounting, we have to recognize all expenses even though we haven't paid it yet. This is one of those instances.

The employees have worked for 3 days at the end of January but will not receive their payment on that day. That equates to $2,700 of salaries accrued at the end of January.

Accrued Expenses are recorded as payables, in this problem it's "Salaries Payable".

So to complete the adjusting journal entry:

(Debit)        Salaries Expense        $2,700

(Credit)                Salaries Payable              $2,700

Which of the following countries experienced a decline in total output from 2000 to 2005?
sattari [20]

Answer: The correct answer is "B. Zimbabwe".

Explanation: GDP growth is crucial for an economy, since an increase in it reflects an increase in economic activity. If economic activity picks up, it means that unemployment tends to decrease and that per capita income increases.

In the case of Zimbabwe, population growth is far superior to GDP growth, therefore this makes economic growth much more difficult since there are more people per capita income is diminished.

How do future expectations about the price of a good affect the present supply?
stiks02 [169]

Future expectations about price, can be a demand and supply shifter.

If producers know that prices will go up in the near future, they will be less likely to produce more now. They will want to sell when prices are higher. The reverse is true, if consumers know that prices will go down in the future they will be less likely to purchase now.
