Answer:
The marginal utility of the fourth plate is zero or below zero
Explanation:
The reason is that the law of diminishing marginal utility says that the marginal utility of a product declines upon continuous consumption of that item. This means that the utility before the consumption of first buffet was high and when the second buffet was consumed by the same person the utility was further reduced and so on. This means that the utility must be positive which if is higher enough then the customer is will to pay and eat the buffet again. If it is zero or below zero the customer is not willing to pay for the buffet. This is the reason the person doesn't ordered the item again.
You can not eat the same buffet for all the 365 days. This means the taste of a tasty food fades away after some time or I would say that the utility is gone. Same is the case when you will keep using cellphone for a period and then sell it or dispose it because the item doesn't entertains you or in other words the utility has significantly fallen and is almost zero or below zero.

Answer: a). Debit Factory Payroll Payable $160,000; credit Cash $160,000.
Explanation: Direct labor refers to the manpower used in production. They are the factory workers involved in using the raw materials to produce finished goods.
Expense on direct labor is provided for during the production by a debit to factory payroll expense and a credit to factory payroll payable.
As such, the journal entry will be a debit to factory payroll payable $160,000 and a credit to cash $160,000. This means cash will reduce by $160,000 as the factory workers are paid while payables which is a provision account will reduce as well on the cash book by the same amount.
