Answer:

The correct answer is letter "E": anchoring and adjustment heuristic.

Explanation:

Anchoring-and-Adjustment heuristics refers to estimations made by individuals according to certain information that come to their minds that are adjusted until an acceptable level of accuracy is reached. The latter is the cause of this practice to be inefficient because it is based on finding one optimal level of accuracy only without looking for others that could provide more proper results.

krok68 [10]

Answer:

$10,000

Explanation:

We need to find the segment margin of the deparment, which is equal to annual contribution margin minus avoidable fixed costs:

Wallen Corporation

Annual contribution margin            $80,000

Annual fixed costs                           $160,000

Unavoidable fixed costs                 $90,000

Avoidable fixed costs                     $70,000

Segment Margin  = Annual contribution margin - avoidable fixed costs

                             = $80,000 - $70,000

                             = $10,000

Therefore, if the company eliminated this department, it would have a financial advantage of $10,000, equivalent to the deparment's current segment margin.

Opportunity Cost is the cost of next best alternative, foregone (sacrifised)  while making a choice.

The opportunity cost of movies watched, is the sacrifised grade of exam, which would have gotten, if the time would have spent in studying. The corresponding grade lost = 70% grade achievable - 60% grade achieved. Hence, the opportunity cost = 10% of exam score.
