Answer:
c. feels the marginal benefit of an extra hour of studying exceeds the marginal cost of not playing basketball.
Explanation:
Russel made a choice to study for an hour instead of playing basketball. When making choices people weigh the benefits of an action against its opportunity cost.
Opportunity cost is the forgone alternative when we choose to do something.

Answer:
$24,000
Explanation:
Since in the question it is provided that there is a sale value of the videos to its customers i.e. $24,000 also the collection is of $22,000 and the remaining balance i.e. $2,000 is expected to collect in Jan 2020

Answer:
Debit : Bad Debts account : $2000 (appearing in the income statement)
Credit : Provision for doubtful debts account : $2000 (appearing in the balance sheet)
Explanation:
This is an example of provision for doubtful debts. Provision for doubtful debts is an estimated amount of bad debts from accounts receivables that has been issues but not yet collected. This is done under the accrual accounting concept where an expense is identified as soon as invoices have been issued rather than waiting long periods to find out which invoice is irrecoverable. It is typically an estimate based on past experience.
In this question, the sales value has not been provided, hence an assumption is made:
Sales : $200,000
If provision for doubtful debts is 1% of sales and all sales is on credit, then the provision for doubtful debts amount is = 1% x $200,000 = $2000
Provision for doubtful debts is an accounts receivable contra account and thus has a credit balance and is recorded in the balance sheet, listed directly under accounts receivables.
The entry is recorded as:
Debit : Bad Debts account : $2000 (appearing in the income statement)
Credit : Provision for doubtful debts account : $2000 (appearing in the balance sheet)

Direct labor 6,000
Variable overhead 3,000
————
Total $30,000
If we purchase the cost is $39,000 and the company is indifferent if they will manufacture or purchase. Therefore;
$39,000 - 30,000 = $9,000 (unavoidable fixed cost)
