Answer: 6 units of utility

Explanation:

The above scenario is termed diminishing marginal utility. It explains that as a consumer consumers a particular product, at first, the extra product consumed will give the consumer extra satisfaction but when the consumer continues to consumer more and more of the product, the satisfaction or utility derived from the product reduces.

If I get 10 units of utility from one cup of coffee, I'll derive satisfaction from it and may be eager and willing to have another cup which may lead to an increase of 16 utils but the third cup won't give enough satisfaction as the other cups I had previously taken. Hence the utility derived diminishes.

Baker Inc. acquired equipment from the manufacturer on 10/1/2018 and gave a noninterest-bearing note in exchange. Baker is oblig
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

4%

Explanation:

Interest included in $918000 is for six months from 10/1/18 to 4/1/12.

Interest for first three month period from 10/1/18 to 31/12/18 = $9000.

This implies that :

Interest from 1/1/19 to 4/1/19 = $9000.

Principal amount excluding interest due:

= Baker's obligation amount - Accrued interest - Accrued interest

= $918,000 - $9,000 - $9,000

= $900,000

Interest rate:

= [($9,000 × 12/3) ÷ 900000] × 100

= 4%

The following per unit cost information is available: direct materials $36, direct labor $24, variable manufacturing overhead $1
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

Mark−up percentage = 18.75%

Explanation:

Total manufacturing cost= Direct material + Direct labor  + Variable overhead + Fixed overhead

= $36 + $24 + $18 + $40

= $118

Hence, the total manufacturing cost is $118.

Total selling cost = Fixed selling cost + Variable selling cost

Total selling cost = $28 + $14

Total selling cost = $42

Hence, the total selling cost is $42

Total cost = Total Manufacturing cost + Total selling cost

Total cost = $118 + $42

Total cost = $160

Mark−up percentage = ROI / Total cost * 100

Mark−up percentage = $30 / $160 * 100

Mark−up percentage = 0.1875 * 100

Mark−up percentage = 18.75%

Under what conditions would you recommend using each of these funding methods to pay for information systems expenses: allocatio
Arada [10]

Answer:

The conditions under which each funding method for paying for IT system expenses would be recommended are:

Allocation method is preferred to other methods when actual usage cannot be captured but, some other cost drivers can be used as the allocation bases.

Chargeback method works better than others when actual usage by each unit can be accurately captured.

Explanation:

The Allocation Funding Method charges IT costs to individuals, departments, or business units based on revenues, number of employees, and other cost drivers and not based on usage. It is often used when actual usage cannot be recorded.

The chargeback method charges IT costs to individuals, departments, or business units based on their actual usage of the IT services.  With wide variation in IT usage, business units need to be charged their actual costs consumed.

The corporate budget method allocates IT cost based on a periodic predetermined rate. It is used where unit managers need to be given control over their budgets, enabling them to search for cost-saving technologies.

Ber [7]

Answer:

Benchmark.

Explanation:

In this scenario, Mr. and Mrs. Smith were interested in purchasing a vacant lot. However, they first wanted the property surveyed. When the surveyor came out to measure the property he began measuring from the iron spike embedded in the middle of the street. In this case, the iron spike would be known as benchmark.
