To record the purchase of new equipment for cash.

2. December 31, 2015:

Ending balance            $5,400

b) Depreciation Expense-Equipment $5,400

Explanation:

The depreciation expense for equipment is $5,400 ($600 x 9) since the depreciation charge for each month is $600.  The equipment was used from 9 months from April 1 to December 31 in 2015.  This implies that only $5,400 will be charged to Income Statement for the period.

love history [14]

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.

In this instance Russell chose to study and the opportunity cost was to enjoy playing a basketball game.

For him to choose to study it means he saw the benefit of reading to be greater than the marginal cost of playing basketball. So he chose the most beneficial activity for him.
