Answer:

illusion of control.

Explanation:

The illusion of control is the tendency for people to overestimate their ability to control events; for example, it occurs when someone feels a sense of control over outcomes that they demonstrably do not influence.

In the scenario, although Business has been consistently slow on Fridays in recent months, yet DeMarcus decides to continue with the extra staffing.

This is obviously a case of illusion because he has no control over the external business environment and there is no logical reason to continue with extra staffing.

Refer to the information for Alfombra Inc. below.
Ann [662]

Answer:

<u>cost to be accounted for:</u>

beginning cost: 180,000

added cost        756,000

total cost         <em>   936,000</em>

<u>cost accounted for:</u>

ending WIP 30,000 x 5.2           =  156,000

trasnsferred-out: 150,000 x 5.2 =  780,000

total cost accounted for           <em>      936,000</em>

Explanation:

150,000 completed

 50,000 at 60%

weighted average equivalent unit:

complete + percetage of completion ending WIP

150,000 + 50,000 x 60% = 180,000

Cost per unit:

936,000 / 180,000 = 5.2 dollar per unit

we should match the total cost pool with the ending WIP and trasnferred out units

If 7000 dollars is invested in a bank account at an interest rate of 7 per cent per year, Find the amount in the bank after 14 y
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

1. Interest compounded annually = $18,049.74

2. Interest compounded quarterly = $18,493.77

3. Interest compounded Monthly = $18,598.16

4. Interest compounded continuously = $18,651.19

Explanation:

First let me state the formula for compound interest:

The future value of a certain amount which is compounded is the total amount (Principal + interest) on the amount of money, after compound interests have been applied, and this is shown below:

FV = PV (1+\frac{r}{n} )^{n*t}

where:

FV = Future value

PV = Present value = $7,000

r = interest rate in decimal = 0.07

n = number of compounding periods per year

t = compounding period in years = 14

For interests compounded continuously, the Future value is given as:

FV = PV × e^{r*t}

where

e is a mathematical constant which is = 2.7183

Now to calculate each on the compounding periods one after the other:

1. Interest compounded annually:

here n (number of compounding periods annually) = 1

Therefore,

FV = 7,000 × (1+\frac{0.07}{1})^{14}

FV = 7,000 × 1.07^{14} = $18,049.74

2. Interest compounded quarterly:

here, n = 3 ( there are 4 quarters in a year)

FV = 7,000 × (1+\frac{0.07}{4} )^{4*14}

FV = 7,000 × 1.0175^{56} = $18,493.77

3. Interest compounded Monthly:

here n = 12 ( 12 months in a year)

FV = 7,000 × (1+\frac{0.07}{12} )^{12*14}

FV = 7,000 × 1.005833^{168} = $18,598.16

4. Interests compounded continuously:

FV = PV × e^{0.07 * 14}

FV = 7,000 × 2.66446 = $18,651.19

Jennifer owns a pig farm near​ Salina, Kansas. Last year she earned​ $39,000 in total revenue while incurring​ $38,000 in explic
leonid [27]

Answer:

Jennifer earned an accounting profit of  $1,000 and economic loss of $26,000

Explanation:

Total revenue for Jennifer is $39,000.  

Explicit costs incurred is $38,000.  

The implicit cost or opportunity cost involved is $27,000.

Accounting profit takes into account explicit costs only. It does not include implicit costs involved in the production process.  

Jennifer has earned an accounting profit of

= Total revenue - Explicit costs

= $39,000 - $38,000

= $1,000

Economic profit takes into account the explicit cost as well as implicit cost.  

The economic profit earned

= Total revenue - Total costs

= $39,000 - ($38,000 + $27,000)

= - $26,000
