I believe this is an example of a metaphor or using an expression which does not literally relate to the subject at hand although in this case we know that in a rice cooker it takes only about 20 minutes to cook the rice so though cooking rice and a storm do not normally relate to each other, in the time aspect they may relate.

If the price of product x rises, then the resulting decline in the amount purchased will:_____.

MissTica

If the price of product x rises, then the resulting decline in the amount purchased will<u> increase the marginal utility of this good.</u>

The difference in overall utility that results from consuming one extra unit of a good is known as marginal utility. Economists utilize the idea of marginal utility to estimate the quantity of a good that consumers will buy.

When the overall utility is increased by the consumption of an additional item, positive marginal utility occurs. On the other side, negative marginal utility arises when the overall utility is reduced by the consumption of one extra unit. Progressive taxation are frequently defended using the law of diminishing marginal utility.

Negative, zero, or positive marginal utility are all possible.

Hence, option B is the correct answer

Exercise 19-08 a-b Oriole Corporation incurred the following costs while manufacturing its product.

telo118 [61]

Answer:

$371,700

Explanation:

The computation of the cost of goods sold is shown below:

Cost of goods manufactured = Direct materials used + Direct labor cost + Manufacturing overhead cost + beginning work in process inventory - ending work in process inventory

where,

Manufacturing overhead cost is

= Depreciation on plant + Factory supplies used + Property tax on plant

= $61,000 + $29,300 + $21,800

= $112,100

The cost of goods manufactured is

= $126,400 + $113,500 + $112,100 + $14,600 - $16,700

= $349,900

Now the cost of goods sold is

= Beginning finished goods + Cost of goods manufactured - ending finished goods

= $70,900 + $349,900 - $49,100

= $371,700

1-A)the current ratio for Best Buy for its fiscal year ended January 28, 2017.

= Total Current assets ÷ total current liabilities=[10516 ÷ 7122]

=1.47655

1-B)the acid-test ratio for Best Buy for its fiscal year ended January 28, 2017 can be calculated below as

Quick assets = Cash and cash equivalents + short-term investments + Accounts receivable (net)

=2240 + 1681 + 1347=5268

the current liabilities = 7122

If we substitute the values into the above expresion, we have

=$ 5652 ÷ $7122

= 0.74 times

1-C.) the debt to equity ratio for Best Buy for its fiscal year ended January 28, 2017.

Debt equity ratio = (Total debt ÷ Shareholders’ Equity)

where,

Total debt = Total current liabilities + Long-term liabilities

Total current liabilities =$ 9147

the Shareholders’ equity is $4709

If we substitute the values we have,

$9147 ÷$ 4709

= 1.94 times

1-D. Calculate the times interest earned ratio for Best Buy for its fiscal year ended January 28, 2017 can be calculated as

Times interest earned ratio = (Earnings before interest and taxes) ÷ (Interest expense)

Earnings before interest and taxes = Income before income tax + Interest expense + income tax expense

$1854 - $38 + $72

=$1888

Interest expense=$72

Then substitute into above expresion, we have

=$ 1888 ÷$ 72

= 26.2 times
