Answer:

C. Inefficiently low; inefficiently high

Explanation:

This is a case of a negative externality. If the farmers were forced to pay the cost of this damage, the Marginal Private benefit of farmers will be less than the Marginal Total cost and then they would produce less and the price will be higher.

When farmers don't have to pay the external cost they produce at

PMB = PMC ,

(PMB is private marginal benefit and PMC is private marginal cost)

If they had to pay external costs this equation would be as,

PMB < PMC + External Cost.

This raises total cost for farmers and thus they produce less with cotton at higher prices, as they have higher costs this way.

Therefore without these costs, the prices will be inefficiently low and quantity inefficiently high.

Hope that helps.

Latasha is training for a triathlon, a timed race that combines swimming, biking, and running. Consider the following sentence:
andreev551 [17]

The principle that Latasha caters for that her husband does not is that <u>d. Many </u><u>decisions </u><u>are taken using </u><u>marginal thinking. </u>

<h3>Marginal decision making</h3>
  • Involves making decisions based on the marginal costs and benefits.
  • A person will make a decision that has more benefits than costs.

By swimming more, Latasha would make get the benefit of being better at something she is already good at. If all she does is swimming however, she would incur costs of losing out in the other activities which would surpass the benefits of being good in swimming alone.

In conclusion, option D is correct.

MONEY Deanna and Lise are playing games at the arcade. Deanna started with $15, and the machine she is playing costs $0.75 per g
goblinko [34]

Answer:

The answer is: after 8 games

Explanation:

You can solve this problem in two ways:

                                        Deanna                        Lise

Start with                            $15                            $13

After 1 game                      $14.25                       $12.50

After 2 games                   $13.50                       $12.00

After 3 games                   $12.75                        $11.50

After 4 games                   $12.00                        $11.00

After 5 games                   $11.25                         $10.50

After 6 games                   $10.50                        $10.00

After 7 games                    $9.75                         $9.50

After 8 games                   $9.00                        $9.00

Or you can solve this equation:

= (price of arcade D - price of arcade L) / (Deanna's money - Lise's money)

= ($0.75 - $0.50) / ($15 - $13) = $0.25 / $2 = 8

Given Advanced Company's data, and the knowledge that the product is sold for $71 per unit and operating expenses are $300,000,
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

b) $113,000

Explanation:

For the computation of net income under absorption costing first we need to follow some steps which is shown below:-

variable overhead per unit = $105,000 ÷ 35,000

= $3 per unit

The Variable cost of production per unit

Particulars                       Amount

Direct material                  $19.00

Direct labor                       $21.00

Variable overhead           $3.00

Variable cost of production

per unit                              $43.00

Cost per unit of finished goods under absorption costing

Particulars                             Amount

Total direct material cost $665,000

($19 × 35000)

Total direct labor              $735,000

($21 × 35000)

Total variable overhead $105,000

Total fixed overhead       $175,000

Total                                 $1,680,000

Units in finished goods = Number of units produced - units sold

= 35,000 - 21,000

= 14,000

Cost of finished goods under variable costing

= Variable cost of production per unit × Number of units in finished goods

= $43 × 14,000

= $602,000

Cost of goods sold

= Production cost - Finished goods  cost

= $1,680,000 - $602,000

= $1,078,000

Income statement under absorption costing

Particulars                        Amount

Sales revenue                $1,491,000

($71 × 21,000)

Less: cost of goods sold -$1,078,000

Gross Profit                      $413,000

Less : operating expenses -$300,000

Net operating income          $113,000

A. Identify a profession b. In not more than 60 words, describe the "art" and "science" of such profession in (a).
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

Comedy as a Profession is a great example.

Explanation:

The science of it is related to the psychology of what makes people laugh.

If studied, one would realize that there are certain things that are bound to make people laugh (all things being equal). An example is when a person makes fun of themself to an audience.

To explain this, scientists have stated that it is inherent in humans to laugh at the misfortune of others. However, this is just a theory and does not explain why we laugh at other kinds of comedy.

A plausible explanation (which is more recent in the parlance of psychology) is that people also laugh when certain expectations are defied in a very witty manner.

As a professional stand-up comedian, knowing all the rules and tricks is just one part of the coin. Being able to, either by practice or repeated efforts during practice, internalize these principles, practice them and effectively use them is the artistic part of the picture.

There those who are gifted naturally with a principle thought process that elicits laughter from others, would be termed hilarious. However, to make a living out of comedy, one would need to fully understand the principles and practice to deliver them as naturally as possible.

Another paradigm to the art of comedy is that, it has to be very witty. Wit many times may come with an element of suprise... a new angle that was previously "unthought" of.

Cheers!
