Dmitri is training for a triathlon, a timed race that combines swimming, biking, and running. Consider the following sentence: B

kondaur [170]

Answer:

Decision on the margins

Explanation:

Pool time seems to be having a greater effect at the moment, it makes sense for his to spend a bit more time in the pool and a bit less time on the bike.

However, this does not mean that it makes sense for her to spend all his time in the pool and no time on the bike. If he cut out all training on the bike, the value of a little bit of bike training might be higher than the value of the last hour of pool training. Dimitri does not treat biking versus swimming as an all-or-nothing decision. He makes small changes at the margin in the number of hours spent training for each activity.

Also they both realise that his time is fixed (20hrs) and anytime he wants to spend extra on one activit, is time he cannot spend on another (opportunity cost).

They are both trying to improve Dimitri's total time (exploiting opportunities to makes themselves better off).

An assumption that Dimitri realises that as he spends more time in the pool improving his swim time, his run and cycle times will suffer. As he swims more, his improvement is likely to slow down, while spending less time on cycling and running will cost him progressively more in terms of time.

Conclusion Dimitri is looking at the margins. His wife on the other hand, is not, she is ignoring the interaction, may be forgetting the decreasing improvements in swim and increasing deterioration in the other 2 legs.

Jennifer's pass-through business has total qualified business income of $100,000 and combined REIT dividends/PTP income of $20,0

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

B. $24,000

Explanation:

The pass-through deduction or the section 199A deduction as it is officially called is a reduction by 20 percent of your income tax provided by the new tax law set in place for the 2018 tax year. It is eligible for small business owners who run a pass-through business and whose tax income doesn't exceed $157,500 for singles and $315,000 for married couples.

To calculate the figure, you simply need to find 20% of your business profit. Jennifer has a taxable income of $150,000, which is less than the $157,500 limit to qualify for the pass-through deduction. So her pass through deduction becomes

20% of $100000 + $20,000

= 20/100 x $120,000

= $24,000

Note: Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) dividend income and qualified Publicly Traded Partnership (PTP) income also are eligible for the pass-through deduction by law, hence the addition of the $20,000.

An engineering firm measures its output in standard service hours (SSH) per unit, which is a function of the skill levels of its

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The variable cost is $60 per SSH and the fixed cost is $2,000,000 per year. The firm charges $100 for each service per hour. Assume the maximum hours the firm operates (that is the output) is 170,000 per year.

1) To calculate the break-even point, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 2,000,000/ (100 - 60)

Break-even point in units= 50,000 hours

2) %of hours= (50,000/170,000)*100= 29.41%

3) Fixed costs= $1,800,000

Break-even point in units= 1,800,000/40

Break-even point in units= 45,000 hours

The number of units required to cover for fixed costs diminished by 10%.

4) Selling price= $110

Break-even point in units= 2,000,000/(110 - 60)

Break-even point in units= 40,000 hours

The number of units required to cover for fixed costs diminished by 20%.

5) In generals terms, it is easier to increase the selling price compared to decreasing fixed costs. In this case, the best option is to increase the selling price. The effect on income and the break-even analysis is higher than decreasing fixed costs.
