Answer: 1. A - Describe how the individual pursuit of self-interest works to promote the interest of the public as a whole
2. A- Both Adam Smith and Karl Marx believed that humans are motivated by self-interest
Explanation:
1. According to Adam Smith who is known as the father of modern economics stated in his thesis that individual's self-interest and freedom of production as well as consumption is in the best interest of the society as a whole.
Each Individual's free exchange creates signals about which goods and services are valuable. These signals will spontaneously direct competing consumers, producers, distributors, and intermediaries—each pursuing their individual plans— to fulfill the needs and desires of others.
Smith’s invisible hand became one of the primary justifications for an economic system of free market capitalism.
2. Pairing that best describes Adam Smith's view of human motivation in a market economy and Karl Marx's view of human motivation in a communist economy: Both Adam Smith and Karl Marx believed that humans are motivated by self-interest as they both believe that the economy is a capitalist economy that all its good and services are in the hands of private individuals.
Answer:
d.Cost, residual value, and service life
Explanation:
The depreciation of an asset is the systematic allocation of cost for the use of the asset over its useful life.
Depreciation is usually computed using the formula below
Depreciation = (cost - salvage value)/useful life
The difference between the cost and salvage value is the depreciation base of the asset over its entire useful life.
As such, the right option is d.Cost, residual value, and service life
I I’m not sure but I think B
Answer:
The answers are:
The total conversion costs were $59,400
The total costs of units completed were $117,000
Explanation:
The total conversion costs are direct labor and factory overhead:
- total conversion costs = $49,500 + $9,900 = $59,400
To calculate the total costs of units completed we must first calculate the equivalent units completed.
- 9,000 units were 100% completed
- 3,000 units were only 30% completed, which are equivalent to 900 units completed (3,000 x 30%).
Now we calculate the conversion costs per unit completed by dividing the total conversion costs over the equivalent units completed:
- $59,400 / 9,900 units = $6 conversion costs per unit completed
To calculate the materials costs per unit, we divide the total materials costs by the total units that entered production (since materials are added at the beginning of the production process):
- $84,000 / 12,000 units = $7 materials costs per unit completed
Now we have the total costs per unit completed $13 ($6 + $7) and to calculate the total cost of units completed we multiply 9,000 units x $13 = $117,000.
