Answer:

C) ​$6.25 million

Explanation:

Compensating wage differentials are paid to workers so that they accept tasks that are considered dangerous or hazardous.

A worker’s utility function is:

Utility = f (w, risk of injury)

Dahlia's safe job utility function = f(60000, 0.0002)

Dahlia's riskier job utility function = f(65000, 0.001)

A 400% increase in risk will increase Dahlia's salary by $5,000,

When you are using the compensation differential approach, you can determine the value of a life by dividing the compensating differential by the increased chance of death.

($65,000 - $60,000) / (1/1000 - 1/5,000) = $5,000 / 0.0008 = $6,250,000

Al's obtained a discount loan of $78,500 today that requires a repayment of $98,000, 3 years from today. What is the APR
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

R = 8.2803%

Rounded: 8%

Explanation:

Solving our equation:

r = (1/3)(98000/78500) - 1) = 0.08280255

r = 0.08280255

Converting r (decimal) to R a percentage

R = 0.08280255 * 100

= 8.2803%

Hope this helped! :D

Scrat [10]

Answer:

The Cost of good sold will decrease by 10,000

The other accounts balance will be the same.

<em>Missing Information:</em>

Ending balances in the relevant accounts were:

Work-in-Process            40,000

Finished Goods             80,000

Cost of Goods Sold     680,000

Explanation:

The company applied overhead for the amount of 435,000

This was charged into finished good which latter become cost of goods sold.

Then, as the actual overhead was 425,000 we have to adjust for the over-applied overehad. We applied more than it cost so we have to reduce it.

435,000 - 425,000 = 10,000

<u>We will decrease our COGS against the factory overhead account.</u>

COGS 10,000 debit

  factory overhead 10,000 credit
