Answer:
The correct answer is D) "producers should not produce one more roast beef sandwich because MC > MB"
Explanation:
Marginal cost (MC) is the additional cost that you provoke when you add an extra unit of goods or services to your company.
Marginal benefit (MB) is the additional benefit that you receive when you add an extra unit of goods or services to your company.
When:
MC > MB (producers shouldn't produce an additional good or service)
MC < MB (Producers should produce an additional good or service)
Answer:
The answer is TRUE.
According to the law of increasing costs, the cost of producing kiwis will increase.
Explanation:
The law of increasing costs states that as more factors of production are shifted from making one product or service to a second product or service, the cost of producing the second item increases.
As we can see in the scenario given above, the community of Desertville initially produced a small amount of Kiwi fruit. But as kiwis became more popular, its cultivation had to be expanded, therefore, increased costs would be incurred in the process of this expansion.
Answer:
The required rate of return is 12.2%
Explanation:
Dividend growth model is used to calculate the price of the stock based on the dividend, its growth and required rate of return.
Formula to calculate the price
Price = Dividend / ( Required rate of return - Growth rate )
P = D / ( r - g)
P = $11.54
D = $0.95
g = 4%
Now placing the given values in the formula
$11.54 = $0.95 / ( r - 4% )
r - 4% = $0.95 / $11.54
r - 4% = 8.2%
r = 8.2% + 4%
r = 12.2%
Answer:
an externality, market failure
Explanation:
The company in this case has a par production because the cost to the seller is the same as the benefit to the buyer. Now the company is dumping chemicals that are affecting people in the community that do not patronise them. The chemicals cause poisoning of wildlife and harms health of nearby residents.
This characterised an externality that is the dumping of chemicals affecting the residents in the community.
It is also a market failure because while the company is not making profit they are also harming the society where they operate.
Answer:
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and
Bad debt expense
(to fill the gaps)
Explanation:
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is the account used to record receivables that may not be collectible. When receivables may be incollectible, the entries posted are
Debit Bad debt expense
Credit Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
When the receivables can no longer be collected
Debit Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Credit Account receivables
Hence for Amend Inc, the reversals of the above entries is what is required. Since Amend Inc. has debited Accounts Receivable and credited Allowance for Doubtful Accounts to reestablish an account previously written off, the second set of entries required would be
Debit Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Credit Bad debt expense
