Answer: Sunk Cost
Explanation:
A sunk cost is an expense which a company or entity has already incurred and which cannot be recovered and so should not be considered when making decisions regarding incremental benefits or costs to an investment.
The $48 had already been incurred to produce the defective units and cannot be recovered so it is a sunk cost that should not be considered moving forward.
Answer:
Option (a) is correct.
Explanation:
Given that,
Sales = $410,000
Costs = $284,000
Depreciation Expense = $510,000 × 0.1920]
= $97,920
Therefore,
Operating Cash Flow:
= [(Sales - Variable Costs - Fixed Costs) × (1 - Tax Rate)] + [Depreciation × Tax Rate]
= [($410,000 - 284,000) × (1 - 0.35)] + [$97,920 × 0.35]
= [$126,000 × 0.65] + [$97,920 × 0.35]
= $81,900 + $34,272
= $1,16,172
Answer:
<u>lower return </u>
Explanation:
an additionl unit of capital will have a <u>lower return</u> in Alpha compared to Beta
The diminishing return theory explains that if a factor is added, while the other remains the same, the return for each additional quantity added will be lower. So if both countries have the same amount of factor, Alpha adding more capital will not have the same return as doing it in Beta
ΔCapital/(40,000 + labor + land) < ΔCapital/(5,000 + labor + land)
That's because the divisor ir greater in Alpha it is required a higher amount of capital to produce the same return.
Answer: Option(a) is correct.
Explanation:
Corn chips and potato chips, both are substitute goods and thus, affect each others demand by a small changes in various factors.
In this question, a good weather increases the harvesting of corn which increases the supply of corn chips.
This shifts the supply curve rightwards as a result price falls and quantity increases. Hence, this lower price, increases the consumer surplus in the market of corn chips.
This change in the supply of corn chips will affect the demand for potato chips in the potato chips market. So, the demand curve for potato chips shifts leftwards. This shift in the demand curve, reduces the price level and quantity level. Hence, this lowers the producer surplus in the market for potato chips.
