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.

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

C.Clarify the situation, and ask specific questions about the overseas company's cultural and ethical practices. Also, ask what your company policies are regarding intercultural ethics.

Explanation:

A senior executive told you on conference call that you should increase expense amount because when you travel abroad for a trip you will give $5,000 each to top executives of a large account.

In your locale it may be considered bribery, but in the foreign country it may be rude not to give a gift when doing business.

So you need to clarify what acceptable ethical practices are with the foreign company.

Talja [164]

Pierce Company incurred $150,000 of research and development costs in its laboratory to develop a new product. It spent $20,000
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

A. $35,000

Explanation:

The first $150,000 were invested in research and development of the product itself, not the patent. Thus, this amount should be debited to research and development expenses.

The only expenses directly related to the patent itself are the $20,000 spent on legal fees on January 2, 2017, and the $15,000 for legal fees in a successful defense of the patent on July 31, 2017.

Therefore, the total amount that should be debited to Patents (P) is:

P = $20,000 + $15,000 = $35,000
