Here are three things you could do if you do not attend your neighbor's barbecue: watch television with some friends (you value

this at $17), read a good novel (you value this at $14), or go in to work (you could earn $16 during the barbecue). The opportunity cost of going to your neighbor's barbecue is
a. $16, because this is the only alternative of the three where you actually receive a monetary payment.
b. $14, because this is the lowest valued alternative forfeited.
c. $17, because this is the highest valued alternative forfeited.
d. $47, because this is the total dollar sum of the alternatives forfeited.

Answer: Option (c) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Alternatives for a person if he do not attend his neighbor's barbecue:

(1) Watch television with some friends = he value this at $17

(2) Read a good novel = he value this at $14

(3) Go in to work = he could earn $16 during the barbecue

Opportunity cost is the benefit that is foregone for an individual by choosing one alternative over other alternatives available to him.

If the opportunity cost is lower for an individual then this will benefit him whereas if the opportunity cost is higher then this will not benefit the individuals.

Therefore, the opportunity cost of going to his neighbor's barbecue is the enjoyment he get from watching television with some friends because this is the highest valued alternative forfeited.

nikklg [1K]

A study has been conducted to determine if Product A should be dropped. Sales of the product total $400,000 per year; variable e
klio [65]

Answer:

Option (A) is correct.

Explanation:

Contribution Margin:

= Total sales of the product - variable expenses

= $400,000 - $270,000

= $130,000

Avoidable fixed cost = Total fixed cost - Unavoidable fixed cost

                                  = $160,000 - $ 70,000

                                  = $90,000

Net Margin :  

= Contribution Margin - Avoidable fixed expense

= $130,000 - $90,000

= $40,000

Hence, if product A is dropped, the company's overall net operating income would decrease by $40,000 per year.

BigorU [14]

Answer:

A) The bulk of Airline​ A's profits came from​ other income which included the sale of some of its fleet.

Explanation:

Investment in favor of Airline A would severely be hindered if it is found out that the bulk of Airline​ A's profits came from​ other income which included the sale of some of its fleet.

This is because it would mean that Airline A is unable to keep up with its costs and thus is divesting its operations. Divesting is never a good sign for a firm looking to gain advantage in the future. Furthermore this explains why there was a sudden shift from loss making in the previous years to profits in the current year. A detailed inspection would be needed to eliminate uncertainty and as such any investment decisions in favor of airline A would not be justified.

Option B, C and D is efficient management and would make Airline A more lucrative for investment as it would mean management is eagerly looking to cut inefficient operations.

Option E would require more information to weaken the argument.

Hope that helps.
