Answer: 
Firm should not shut down, as it is able to cover its Average Variable Cost 
Explanation:
Perfect Competition firms in Short Run : The firms produce even if their average revenue (price) < their average total costs (AC). They continue production until Average variable cost (AVC) ≥ per unit price (P) i.e average revenue (AR). This is called Shut Down Point. P lower beyond AVC implies that firm won't continue even in short run. 
Given : Variable Cost (VC) = 500 ; Revenue (R) = 510 
Average Variable Costs & Average Revenue are variable costs & revenue, per unit quantity. AVC = VC / Q ; AR (P) = R / Q 
R i.e 510 > VC i.e 500 
So, R/ Q i.e AR is also > VC / Q i.e AVC
Since AVC > AR (P), firm should not shut down
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer and explanation:
Democracy is the state in which individuals of a community make decisions collectively being the interest of most people prioritized. A pure form of democracy is difficult to find even in countries that highly promote equal rights such as the United States.
The Democracy Index is a composite that measures democracies in 167 countries scoring them from 1 to 10 (10 is the highest grade). In 2019, The U.S. was positioned in the 25th place in the list of most democratic countries. <em>Norway </em>is placed in the first place followed by <em>Iceland</em>.
In such a case, <em>we should recommend our friend to take a look at the Democracy Index where he or she will find out that the U.S. is not one of the fairest nations in the world. Its government functioning and political participation are aspects where the U.S. needs improvement.</em>
 
        
             
        
        
        
The correct answer is the Coase theorem
Suppose that a large tree on Betty's property is blocking Chuck's view of the lake below. Betty accepts Chuck's offer to pay Betty $100 for the right to cut down the tree. This situation describes the Coase theorem.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
All equity plan:
EPS = $160,000 / 42,000 = $3.81
Plan I:
EPS = [$160,000 - ($108,000 x 7%)] / 39,000 = $152,440 / 39,000 = $3.91
Plan II:
EPS = [$160,000 - ($324,000 x 7%)] / 33,000 = $137,320 / 33,000 = $4.16
Plan II is better since the resulting EPS is higher than the other alternatives. 
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer: The meaning of depletion to allocate the cost of extracting natural resources like oil and minerals from the earth. 
Explanation:
- The term depletion is a concept generally we use in tax and accounting.
- The meaning of depletion is to move the cost of extracting natural resources like oil and minerals from the earth to the income sheets. 
- It is a non-cash expense that lowers the cost value of an asset gradually scheduling charges to the income.
- To evaluate the depletion per unit we divide the total cost less salvage value by the total number of estimated units.
