Answer:

D) $1.00

Explanation:

Opportunity cost is the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives.

If I buy a cappuccino, I have forgone the opportunity to buy Russian tea cakes. Therefore, my opportunity cost is the price of Russian tea cakes.

I hope my answer helps you.

Directions: Something that is valuable is scarce and give utility. Something that isn't value either doesn't give utility, or it
suter [353]

Answer:

Scarcity and Utility

I will explain the concepts of scarcity, value, and utility using my laptop and some writing pens.  I have only one laptop available in my family.  I use it 24-hours daily.  I attach so much value (utility) to the laptop because it is only one.  It is very scare in my household.  On the other hand, I have a packet of writing pens.  Pens are relatively not scare in my household.  If my laptop is missing, I will raise uproar in the house.  Everybody present will answer a tedious query.  But, if one of the pens gets missing, I may not even be aware that it is missing.  At the moment, I do not attach much value (utility) to the writing pens because I have many of them presently .  Writing pens are not scare in my household, as I said earlier.

Using these examples, I have demonstrated the concepts of scarcity, utility, and value.

Explanation:

Therefore, scarcity is defined by the value and the relative availability of a good.  Scarcity is a basic economic problem that shows the gap existing between limited resources and unlimited needs.  Based on the lack experienced with satisfying a need, one has to always choose between alternatives in order to maximize resource allocation and utility.

Utility in Economics refers to the value or satisfaction derivable from the meeting of a human or economic need.  It is initially connected to the concept of scarcity.  But after attaining some level of utility, scarcity temporarily evaporates.  And this is the dividing thin line.  This is why they are mostly used together.  "Something that is valuable is scarce and give utility."  Something that is not highly valuable is not usual scarce and does not give much utility, at least, to an extent.

An inventory error not only affects the current year's cost of goods sold, gross profit, net income, current assets and equity,
pychu [463]

The correct answer is "ending inventory of one period is the beginning inventory of the next period."

An inventory error not only affects the current year's cost of goods sold, gross profit, net income, current assets, and equity, but also the next period's statements because ending inventory of one period is the beginning inventory of the next period.

That is why the manager has to be strict regarding the inventory of a company. Inventory has a cost that can be translated into money. So accountants have to be perfect regarding the inventory. So yes, ann error in keeping the inventory affects the company in that the ending inventory of one period is the beginning inventory of the next period. An internal audit can reveal the mistakes in accurately keeping the inventory. So it is better to put extra attention in the process so nothing wrong would be revealed after the audit.

he credit union will have $1.6 million available for investment during the coming year. State laws and credit union policies imp
natulia [17]

Here is the full question.

The employee credit union at State University is planning the allocation of funds for the coming year. The credit union makes four types of loans to its members. In addition, the credit union invests in risk-free securities to stabilize income. The various revenue producing investments together with annual rates of return are as follows:

Type of Loan/Investment               Annual Rate of Return (%)

Automobile loans                                8

Furniture loans                                   10

Other secured loans                          11

Signature loans                                 12

Risk-free securities                            9

The credit union will have $1.6 million available for investment during the coming year. State laws and credit union policies impose the following restrictions on the composition of the loans and investments.

Risk-free securities may not exceed 30% of the total funds available for investment.

Signature loans may not exceed 10% of the funds invested in all loans (automobile, furniture, other secured, and signature loans).

Furniture loans plus other secured loans may not exceed the automobile loans.

Other secured loans plus signature loans may not exceed the funds invested in risk-free securities.

How should the $1.6 million be allocated to each of the loan/investment alternatives to maximize total annual return? Round your answers to the nearest dollar.

Automobile Loans $  

Furniture Loans $  

Other Secured Loans $  

Signature Loans $  

Risk Free Loans $  

What is the projected total annual return? Round your answer to the nearest dollar.

$  

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the amount invested in:

Automobile loans be Xa,

Furniture Loans be Xf,

Other Secured Loans be Xo,

Signature loans be Xs,    &;

Risk-free loans be Xr

In reference  on the Annual returns rate given;

Total annual returns = 8%×Xa + 10%×Xf + 11%×Xo + 12%×Xs + 9%×Xr

The various constraints given can be written as follows:

Xa + Xf + Xo + Xs + Xr = 1,600,000-----Constraint for amount available for investment

Xr = 30%*1,600,000 ----- Constraint for maximum risk free investment

Xs = 10%*(Xa + Xf + Xo + Xs) -----  Constraint for maximum amount in signature loans

Xf + Xo = Xa ------- Constraint for Furniture and other secured loans

Xo + Xs = Xr  ------ Constraint for other secured loans and signature loans

Using the Excel Formula for solving this;

we have the following result.

Automobile Loans                     $ 504,000

Furniture Loans                         $ 136,000

Other Secured Loans               $ 368,000

Signature Loans                        $ 112,000

Risk-Free Loans                        $ 480,000

The projected total annual return = $ 151,040

The computation of the excel formula on how we arrived at those valid figures above is shown in the attached files below.

Thanks!
