Answer: B. Not necessarily; he may think the ease and convenience of using the credit card is worth the extra cost.

Explanation:

Rationally speaking, human beings as market participants have to obey the law of Demand which states that As the price of a good rises, the demand should fall and vice versa.

Now, the price of the new station is less than that of the old station so rationally speaking, he should switch to the New station.

However, they do not take credit cards at the new station and Mr Jones likes to pay with his credit card. This means that the law of Demand is not necessarily violated here if Mr. Jones believes that the convenience of using his card is an extra cost that can be added to the New station. Should this be the case then the new station might still be more expensive to Mr. Jones so the Law of Demand is not broken if he keeps using the old place.

lyudmila [28]

Answer:

$65 per unit

Explanation:

For computing the cost per unit first we have to determine the cost of goods manufactured which is shown below:

Cost of goods manufactured = Opening work in process + direct material cost + direct labor cost + manufacturing overhead cost - ending work in process

= $10,000 + $12,000 + $6,000 + $4,000 - $6,000

= $26,000

And, there is a production of 400 MP3 players

So, the cost per unit is

= $26,000 ÷ 400 MP3 players

= $65 per unit

A $200,000 loan amortized over 13 years at an interest rate of 10% per year requires payments of $21,215.85 to completely remove
kvasek [131]

Answer:

Loan amount = $184,193.95

Explanation:

Interest will remain same each year. Interest per year = 200,000*10% = $20,000

Installment                   $21,215.85

Less: Interest               <u>$20,000</u>

Payment to Principal <u>$1,215.85</u>

Total principal repaid in 13 years = $1,215.85 * 13 years = $15,806.05

So, the principal left = $200,000 - $15,806.05 = $184,193.95

Phoenix Agency leases office space for $7,700 per month. On January 3, Phoenix incurs $105,600 to improve the leased office spac
nadezda [96]

Answer:

$13,200 per year

Explanation:

Amount incurred to improve the office space = $

Improvement expected to yield benefit = 10 years

Remaining life on it's lease = 8 years

Since the office space is not going to remain with Phoenix after the lease period, it means that the improvement expenses will be expensed over the remaining lease period I.e 8 years.

Therefore, the amount of expense that should be recorded the first year related to improvements can be calculated as;

= Amount incurred to improve the office space ÷ remaining life on its lease

= $105,600 ÷ 8

= $13,200 per year
