A _____ is an association of producers that control supply and prices

Officials argue that the government needs to reduce the national debt. Which actions are most likely to accomplish this goal?

Lapatulllka [165]

The correct answer should be Increase taxation and decrease spending

This would be the most efficient way to do this since you would get more money from taxes and they would lose less money because of lack of spending. People would probably be dissatisfied, but it would help the budget.

When originally purchased, a vehicle costing $25,740 had an estimated useful life of 8 years and an estimated salvage value of $

Rudiy27

Answer:

Annual depreciation= $5,660

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchase price= $25,740

Salvage value= $3,100

First, we need to calculate the accumulated depreciation before the change in useful life:

Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)

Annual depreciation= (25,740 - 3,100) / 8

Annual depreciation= $2,830

Accumulated depreciation= 2,830*4= $11,320

Now, we can calculate the new depreciation expense:

Annual depreciation= (25,740 - 11,320 - 3,100) / 2

Annual depreciation= $5,660

The opportunity cost of doing or getting something is best and fully defined as:

Marysya12 [62]

Answer: The correct answer is C. The value of the best alternative that is given up in order to do or get something.

Explanation: Opportunity cost literally means alternative thing forgone - meaning what is given up to get something (sacrifice). It is a concept used by economists to allocate limited resources for production, consumption, distribution and exchange of goods and services. Production of goods or services entails the creation of value. In other words, it gives a more understanding on how limited resources are allocated in order to satisfy the human insatiable desires.

For example, a student may be constrained with limited amount of pocket money, say $100 and the student wants to buy textbooks that cost $10 each or go for different outings going for $20 each. In this scenario, the student has different options: a) buy 10 textbooks and 0 outing b) buy 8 textbooks and a outing c) 6 textbooks and two outings d) 4 textbooks and three outings e) 0 textbooks and five outings. For the student to have any more of the other, he has to give up the other unit. What is given up is called opportunity cost.
