Answer:

Opportunity cost are experienced whenever choices are made

Explanation:

Scarce resources means the shortage or unavailability of resources required for production of goods and services . In fact economists believe that all resources are scarce because of the limit to the availability of factors of production involved in the production.

To manage scarcity , economist came up with the principle of opportunity cost.

Opportunity cost is the cost of the alternative forgone while making a choice.

This means that as a man may not be able to meet up with all his needs due to scarcity of resources , he will need to select the ones that are of utmost importance and forgo the other needs on the list , whichis the opportunity cost of the transaction.

The number of employees in a company is reduced in the ratio 3 : 2 and the salary of each employee is increased in the ratio 4 :
Doss [256]

Answer:

The initial expenditure of the company on salary is Rs. 72.000

Explanation:

First we need to express the employees ratio in letter

3A=B

2C=D

A and C being the amount of employees

B the salary before, D the salary after

They say the salary after is the slary before minus Rs. 12.000

we can express this as D=B-12.000

We know to that the salary of each employee increased 4 to 5

Then C=(5/4)A or A=(4/5)C

We can have the following equation

2((5/4)A)=B-12.000

A=(2/5)(B-12.000)

we use this in the first expression

3(2/5)(B-12.000)=B

1,2B-14400=B

0,2B=14400

B=72.000

Jay sold three items of business equipment for a total of $300,000. None of the equipment was appraised to determine its value.
olasank [31]

Answer:

Consider the following calculations

Explanation:

Step 1. Given information.

Asset        Cost        Adjusted Basis

--------------------------------------------------

Skidder   230,000      40,000

Driller       120,000      60,000  

Platform  620,000        0

-------------------------------------------------

Total         970,000      100,000

Step 2. Formulas needed to solve the exercise.

Allocation for each asset =  value sold * (adjusted basis / total)

Gain on sale = Sales price - Adjusted basis amount

Step 3. Calculation and Step 4. Solution.

Sales price is allocated on the basis of adjusted value.

  • Skidder = 300.000 * 40.000/100.000 = 120.000

  • Driller = 300.000*60.000/100.000 = 180.000

  • Platform = 300.000*0/100.000 = 0

Gain on sale = Sales price - Adjusted basis amount

                        = 300.000 - (40.000 + 60.000 + 0)

                        = 200.000

Assuming an acid-test ratio of 1.0, how will the purchase of inventory with cash affect the ratio?
docker41 [41]

Answer:

C) Decrease the acid-test ratio

Explanation:

The quick ratio is also called acid test ratio. It is a liquidity ratio that measures level of liquid assets of a business.

That is the amount of cash or near cash assets it has to settle it's current debt.

Mathematically

Quick ratio = (Current assets - Inventory) ÷ Current liabilities

If cash (current asset) is used to buy Inventory. Cash will reduce and inventory will increase.

The value of (Current asset - Inventory) reduces.

As the numerator in the ratio reduces, the quick ratio also reduces.

The saving refers to the amount i.e above its consumption expenditure let us take an example if an individual salary is $100,000 and its expenditure assumes $50,000 then it saves $50,000 so the $50,000 is the savings.  While the investment is the amount that is spent to buy some assets in terms of building, machinery, home, etc.

So the classification is presented below:

a. Kyoko borrows money to build a new lab for her engineering firm.  = Investment

b. Rina purchases stock in Nano Speck, a biotech firm.  = saving

c. Musashi takes out a mortgage for a new home in Detroit. = investment

An investor will choose between Asset Q with an expected return of 6.5% and a standard deviation of 5.5%, Asset U with an expect
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

Asset U

Explanation:

Reward-to-volatility ratio for Asset Q = Expected return / standard deviation

Reward-to-volatility ratio for Asset Q = 6.5% / 5.5%

Reward-to-volatility ratio for Asset Q = 1.1818

Reward-to-volatility ratio for Asset U = Expected return / standard deviation

Reward-to-volatility ratio for Asset U = 8.8% / 5.5%

Reward-to-volatility ratio for Asset U = 1.6

Reward-to-volatility ratio for Asset B = Expected return / standard deviation

Reward-to-volatility ratio for Asset B = 8.8% / 6.5%

Reward-to-volatility ratio for Asset B = 1.3538

The  investor should prefer Asset U because its has the highest reward to volatility ratio among the three options.
