Answer:

(d) all costs exclusive of payments to fixed factors of production.

Explanation:

The cost involved in the first three options is considered by economists as accounting cost. Economic cost involves the accounting cost, but it is added to the opportunity cost, which is the remuneration that an economic agent fails to receive for practicing one economic activity and not another.

For example, a business owner has fixed production costs, but it should add to his opportunity cost to be working in that firm rather than another economic activity.

A note payable was issued in payment for services received. The services had a fair value less than the face amount of the note
Leokris [45]

Answer:

The note payable will be presented in the financial statement at the face amount minus a discount calculated at the imputed interest rate.

Explanation:

The imputed rate is the rate at which the present value of the face amount of the note will be equal to the amount at which it is originally recorded.  

Notes issued or received in exchange for goods or services that do not bear interest at a fair rate are reported at an amount equal to the fair value of the note, the fair value of the goods or services, or the present value of the note using a fair interest rate, whichever is more readily determinable.  

The difference between the recorded amount and the face value is considered a discount and the applicable interest rate regardless of which method is used to value the note.

Because of this, the note is reported at its face amount minus a discount calculated at the imputed interest rate.

Over a long period of time Sears has slipped from being America's largest retailer to struggling for survival in recent years. W
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

I think Sears need to stop diversifying its product too much and focus on improving internal human resources.

Explanation:

The largest expense that Sears made occurred during their effort to add more female customers to shop at their place.

Sears was known for  its DieHard, Craftsman and Kenmore brands that attract mostly male customers to their stores. They started “The Softer Side of Sears”  which focused on adding more products for female customers.

But, in the process of doing so, Sears neglected their already successful male products department with a lot of employees who sacrifice a lot of their time and effort into making Sears as big as it is.

In order to restore to its former glory, Sears need to stop focusing on new market with a lot of strong competitors and focused on improving skill set of employees in their successful department. They can do this by investing in their education, increasing the budget for their research and development, etc.
