Answer:
Month incurred Amount June July August
June 75,000 37500 18,750 18,750
July 95,000 47,500 23,750
August 95,000 47,500
37,500 66,250 90,000
The expected cash receipts are:
June = $37,500
July = $66,250
August = $90,000
Explanation:
The pattern of collection of sales is that 50% are collected in the months of sales while 25% each will be collected in the following month and following 2 months. For instance, 50% of June sales are collected in June, 25% are realized in July and 25% are collected in August. 50% of July sales are realized in July and 25% are collected in August.
Answer: Overconfidence bias
Explanation:
The options are:
a. overconfidence bias
b. hindsight bias
c. framing bias
d. escalation of commitment bias
e. sunk-cost bias
Overconfidence bias is when people or organization believe so much in their ability, knowledge, talent, or skills which invariably leads them to believe that they are better than the way they really are. It is an ego belief and can have a dangerous effect.
Ford was slow to recall vehicles to fix a possible carbon monoxide leak due to overconfidence bias as they believe that they are a force to be reckoned with and can't make such mistakes.
Answer:
differential revenue = $7
so correct option is a.$7
Explanation:
given data
Product A costs = $6
contribution margin = $3
Product B costs = $12
contribution margin = $4
to find out
the differential revenue for this decision
solution
we get here the differential revenue for this decision that is express
so first we get here selling price for both product that is
selling price product A = Product A costs + contribution margin
selling price product A = $6 + $3 = $9
and
selling price product B = $12 + $4 = $16
so now we get differential revenue that is
differential revenue = selling price product B - selling price product A
differential revenue = $16 - $9
differential revenue = $7
so correct option is a.$7
Answer:
B) Good economists must possess a rare combination of gifts.
Explanation:
Economics is a social science that focuses on studying scarcity. Since all resources are scarce, economics tries to determine how to allocate resources more efficiently in order to produce the most possible benefits. We are all economists whether we like it or not. When we spend our money (scarce resource) we try to get the largest benefit out of it, the same applies to our time. We decide to study for a test and get a good grade, or simply take a very long nap.
The problem with economics and all social science, is that they are not exact. There is no possible way a scientific research can be done that includes all the economy, there are simply too many billions of transactions and different combinations that it is impossible to do it. Some microeconomics studies can be carried out but only considering a single company or industry and few factors.
Economists must base their research upon past events and develop models that can predict future events. Sadly but true, even meteorologists have a higher percentage of correct predictions than economists.
The few good economists must be very good at math, history, politics, philosophy, psychology, developing abstract ideas and make them concrete ideas, and last but not least must be able to explain all of this to others and convince them.
The problem with applying economic models to the real world are the changing expectations of the general public (psychology and philosophy). One of my teachers had a great saying, "the mouth is the most sensitive organ in your body, but your pocket is by far the most sensitive part".
