6 0

A bulk gaining industry is one where the product gains weight or volume through the production process (the whole is greater than the sum of the parts). Due to logistical and transportation costs it is advantageous to produce bulk-gaining materials closer to where they are sold. This is why foreign car companies (Toyota, mazda, etc) have US-based production plants to save on these costs.

Bond issuance:

Dr cash $710,000

Dr discount on bonds payable $40,000

Cr bonds payable $750,000

The payment of interest on December 31, 2018:

Dr interest expense $50,000

Cr discount on bonds payable $5000

Cr cash $45,000

Explanation:

The bonds were issued at a discount to their face value, as a result, the discount on bonds payable is computed thus:

discount on bonds payable=$750,000-$710,000=$40,000

Bonds payable would be credited with $750,000 while cash and discount on bonds payable would be debited with $710,000 and $40,000 respectively

annual discount amortization=$40,000/8=$5000

annual coupon=$750,000*6%=$45000

An indifference curve illustrates ... a) how consumers are indifferent about the location of their own consumption levels relati

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

Option c) how a consumer might trade off different levels of consumption of each of two goods, while staying at the same utility level.

Explanation:

This is the very definition of an indifference curve. The points in an indifference curve are the combinations of the quantities (level of consumption) of two different goods which will produce the very same utility to the consumer. The consumer will perceive any of those combinations as having the same utility for him.

For example, a usual graph of various indifference curves will look like the graph attached.

In this graph the combination of 2 pairs of shoes and 15 pants will be perceived as having the same utility as the combination of 5 pairs of shoes and 4 pants. Both are combinations in the same indifference curve, the green one, and the utility of any combination lying in that green curve will be rated the same: u = 1.
