Answer:
These two are cash equivalents:
Money market funds
Three-month Treasury bills
Because they represent short-term investments that a company makes with the goal of getting rid of any excess cash that would otherwise be left unused while it is losing value because of inflation.
In other words, the main goal of investments in money market funds and three-month treasury bills, is to prevent cash from losing value due to inflation, and because of that, those investments are considered cash equivalents.
Answer:
B. monopoly firms but not for competitive firms.
Explanation:
Marginal revenue can become negative for monopoly firms but not for competitive firms.
A monopolist’s marginal revenue is always less than or equal to the price of the good.
Marginal revenue is the amount of revenue the firm receives for each additional unit of output. It is the difference between total revenue – price times quantity – at the new level of output and total revenue at the previous output (one unit less).
Since the monopolist’s marginal cost curve lies below its demand curve. When a monopoly increases amount sold, it has two effects on total revenue:
– the output effect: More output is sold, so Q is higher.
– the price effect: To sell more, the price must decrease, so P is lower.
For a competitive firm there is no price effect. The competitive firm can sell all it wants at the given price.
So the marginal revenue on a monopolist's additional unit sold is lower than the price, <u>because it gets less revenue for selling additional units.</u>
<u>Marginal revenue can become negative – that is, the total revenue decreases from one output level to the next.

Answer:
The value of shareholders' equity is -$300
Explanation:
Shareholders' equity is the corporation's owners' residual claim on assets after debts have been paid.
Total assets= Total liability + shareholders' equity
Shareholders' equity = Total assets - Total liability
Shareholders' equity = $5,800 - $6,100
Shareholders' equity = -$300
Answer:
General overhead= $3.81 per direct labor hour
Explanation:
Given the following information:
General Overhead $80,000 Number of direct labor hours
Number of direct labor hours 9,000 12,000= 21,000
<u>To calculate the activity rate, we need to use the following formula:</u>
Activity rate= estimated costs / total amount of allocation rate
General Overhead= 80,000 / 21,000
General overhead= $3.81 per direct labor hour
