Sharron purchased a computer for $500 in 2018. Compared to the $900 computer that she purchased in 2011, the new one seems bette
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

This is best explained by Moore's law

Explanation:

Moore's law states that the transistor number in a given microchip doubles approximately every two years while the corresponding cost of the particular computer is halved. Moore suggested that the processing capability of the computers usually doubles every two years while at the same time the price reduces by half over the same period. This law was stipulated by Gordon Moore, who estimated that this scenario will continue for the foreseeable future.

This law can be applied in economics, especially if one deals in the electronics sector to determine forecast price estimates. Consider Sharron's case above;

If we apply Moore's law in Sharron's case, we note that the initial price of the computer in 2011 was $900. After seven years, the cost of the computer is $500. We can see that the cost of the computer has dropped by $400 almost half of its initial cost. At the same time, the power of the microprocessor technology has also improved. The microprocessor technology in 2018 is better than that of 2011.

Carson company on july 15 sells merchandise on account to tayler co. for $2,000, terms 2/10, n/30. on july 20 tayler co. returns
julsineya [31]

The amount of cash received will be the net of discounts and sales returns.

Given,

the sales = $ 2,000

The sales return = $ 800

The discount will be allowed only if the payment is made within the discounts period i.e. 10 days. The sales were made in 15th July and Payment is made on 24th July, thus Carson company is eligible for the discount. The discount will be calculated on the sales net of returns

Net sales = $ 2,000 - $ 800 = $ 1200

Discount = 2 % X $ 1,200 = $ 24

The cash received = $ 2,000 - $ 800 - $ 24 = $ 1,176

Incomplete manufacturing costs, expenses, and selling data for two different cases are as follows.
malfutka [58]
If you need to indicate the missing ammount of each letter in the grahp then it will be like follows:
 For the first case:
A = $9,600 + $5,000 + $8,000 = $22,600$22,600 + $1,000 – B = $17,000
B = $22,600 + $1,000 – $17,000 = $6,600$17,000 + C = $20,000
C = $20,000 – $17,000 = $3,000
D = $20,000 – $3,400 = $16,600
<span>E = ($24,500 – $2,500) – $16,600 = $5,400
</span><span>F = $5,400 – $2,500 = $2,900
</span>And now for the second case:
G + $8,000 + $4,000 = $16,000
G = $16,000 – $8,000 – $4,000 = $4,000$16,000 + H – $3,000 = $22,000
H = $22,000 + $3,000 – $16,000 = $9,000(I – $1,400) – K = $7,000(I – $1,400) – $22,800 = $7,000
<span>I = $1,400 + $22,800 + $7,000 = $31,200
</span>J = $22,000 + $3,300 = $25,300
K = $25,300 – $2,500 = $22,800$7,000 – L = $5,000
<span>L = $2,000</span>
