A day care program frequently has a few parents picking up their children late. In an attempt to curb this, the daycare decides

to charge a fine to parents who are more than 10 minutes late. However, after the fine was implemented, the number of late parents increased. Which of these conclusions can be true?
1)The fine eliminated the non-financial incentives to be on time


2)The fine was not high enough to discourage being late


3)The fine was perceived as a price

Answer:

4) All of the above

Explanation:

The day care program should have rewardedbeing on time to encourage this attitude.

Instead they put a price on being late. As parent considers this price cheap they arrive later to have some extra time beofre picking their childrens

Either the day care program reconsiders the fine policy and moves into a better program to estimulate being on time or it increases the "price" so is more expensive for the parents to come in time rather than paiying their fines.

Answer:

The correct answer is number (4): All of the above.

Explanation:

<em>The fine eliminated the non-financial incentives to be on time </em>and <em>the fine was perceived as a price </em>because parents possibly felt guilty for picking up their children late but no punishments were given before the penalty. Since it was introduced, parents may consider it a fair trade for being late and are willing to pay the penalty.

Besides, it is possible that <em>the fine was not high enough to make parents change their behavior</em> because instead of decreasing the number of parents picking up their children late, the penalty increased it.

Put the phases of the business cycle in the correct order in which they follow a recession.first phase depression recovery boom
Mama L [17]

Answer:

Depression, Recovery, Boom and Recession

Explanation:

A business cycle shows the increase and decrease in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the natural growth rate of a country's economy. This involves, employment, wages, productions, investments, prices and credits. The stages of business cycle include,  expansion, peak, recession, trough and recovery.

Expansion shows the boom in economy growth rate. A positive increase in employment, productions,  incomes, wages, demand, supply and profits happens at this stage.

Depression shows the decline in a country's economic growth. It results in high rate of unemployment.

Peak is the stage where a country's economy rises. It involves increase in the economy's growth rate.

Recession is the stage where there is rapid and steady decline in the demands for good and services.  

Trough shows how an economy's growth rate decreases.  At this stage, banks do not lend out money.

Recovery involves change from negative to positive economic growth rate. The economy continues to improve until it stabilizes.

Patrick purchased a used passenger automobile on June 1, 2018. He paid $19,000 for the automobile. During 2018, he uses the auto
kkurt [141]

Solution:

a. The first year depreciation = $3,160

The second year depreciation = $5,100

b. By considering 75% used for business purchase

    For 2018 , for 7 months remaining

   Depreciation = $3,160 x 75% ( \frac{7}{12}

                         = $1382.50

  For 2019 ,

   Depreciation = $5,100 x 75% = $3,825

Suppose that the total benefit and total cost from a continuous activity are, respectively, given by the following equations:
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

A)= 20+24Q-4Q^{2} (This is the equation for the net benefits)

B) 40; 40

C)MNB(Q)= 24-8Q

D) 16; -16

E) Q=3

F)0

Explanation:

a) To write out the equation for the net benefits.

First, net benefits represents the difference obtained when the total benefits exceed the total costs derived form Q units of the control variable

Based on the definition, the equation is as follows

N(Q)= B(Q) - C(Q)

representing

N(Q)= The Net benefits that are derived from Q level of control variable

B(Q)= The total benefits derived from Q units of control variable

C(Q)= The total cost form Q units of control variable

As we have been given the following:B(Q)= 100 + 36Q - 4Q^{2} and C(Q) = 80 +12Q

This means:

N(Q)= 100+36Q-4Q^{2}- (80+12Q)

= 100+36Q-4Q^{2}-80-12Q

=100-80+36q-12Q-4Q^{2}

=20+24Q-4Q^{2}

= 20+24Q-4Q^{2} (This is the equation for the net benefits)

b) Determine he net benefits when Q = 1 and Q=5

Step 1) when Q=1 we use the formula 20+24Q-4Q^{2}

= 20+24Q-4Q^{2}

= 20(24x1)-(4x (1^{2))

=20+24-4

=40

Step 2) when Q=5 we use the formula 20+24Q-4Q^{2}

= 20+24Q-4Q^{2}

= 20(24x5)-(4x (5^{2))

=20+120-4x25

=140-100

=40

c)To write out the equation for the marginal net benefits

Marginal net benefits represent the change experienced in net benefits with change in one unit of the control variable

The formula therefore is as follows:

MNB(Q)=MB (Q)-MC(Q)

Representing

MNB (Q)= The marginal net benefits at Q level of control variable

MB(Q)= marginal benefits

MC(Q)=Marginal Costs

We are already given: MB(Q) = 36 – 8Q and MC(Q) = 12.)

This means

MNB(Q)=MB (Q)-MC(Q)

= 36-8Q-12

36-12-8Q

=24-8Q

MNB(Q)= 24-8Q

d) Find the marginal net benefits

Step 1) when Q=1 we use the formula for marginal net benefit MNB(Q)= 24-8Q

=MNB(Q)= 24-8(1)

= 16

Step 2) when Q=5 we use the formula for marginal net benefit MNB(Q)= 24-8Q

=MNB(Q)= 24-8(5)

=24-40

=-16

e) Calculate the maximum net benefits which represent the maximum level where the marginal costs= marginal benefits (it is a control variable level).

MB(Q)=MC(C)

MB(Q)= Marginal benefits

MC(Q)= Marginal Costs

We already know that MB(Q) =36-8Q and MC(Q)=12

Therefore, maximum benefit

= MB(Q)= MC(Q)

=36-8Q=12

8Q=36-12

8Q= 24

Q= 3.

This means that when Q is 3, then the net benefits will be at its maximum level

f) Compute marginal net benefits which is the difference between the marginal costs and benefits

MNB(Q)=MB(Q)-MC(Q)

MNB(Q)= Marginal net benefits

MB(Q)= Marginal benefits

MC(Q)= Marginal Costs

we already know that  MB(Q) =36-8Q and MC(Q)=12

MNB(Q)= 36-8Q-12

=36-12-8Q

=24-8Q

Since the maximum level where net benefits are highest is 3 as calculated above, we then replace Q with 3 in the equation

MNB(Q)= =24-8(3)

= 24-24

=0

This means at Q level of 3, the net costs will be equal to the net benefits and the net benefits are at the maximum level.

Bad Debt Expense: Percentage of Credit Sales Method Gilmore Electronics had the following data for a recent year: Cash sales $13
lukranit [14]

Answer:

allowance for bad debt 9,650 debit

           Account receivables 9,650 credit

bad debt expense     11,264 debit

       allowance for bad debt  11,264 credit

the bad debt expense would not change as it is not determnate based on the adjustment of an estimate uncollectible account but, in the percentage of sales which will fail to met the payment.

Explanation:

<em>estimated bad debt:</em>

512,000 x 2.2% = 11,264‬
