Answer:

The correct answer is option 2.

Explanation:

The law of diminishing marginal utility states that keeping other things constant, as more and more units of a commodity are consumed, it will lead to a decrease in the marginal utility derived from the consumption of each additional unit.

In other words, if a consumer goes on consuming more and more of a commodity, the additional satisfaction derived from the consumption of each unit will decrease.

The total utility will be maximized when the marginal utility from the consumption becomes zero.

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

a) As long as the documents strictly comply with the letter of credit requirements, the bank will not have to reimburse the buyer

Explanation:

A letter of credit refers to the letter in which the bank is made a guarantee to pay the amount to a particular person by compiling the specific conditions during the exporting of goods

Since in the question, it is given that the seller has shipped the goods that are worthless i.e of no use for the buyer so in this case, the bank would not reimburse the buyer.

On january 1, 2016, knapp corporation acquired machinery at a cost of $1,250,000. knapp adopted the double-declining balance met

Annette [7]

Cost on January 1 2016 = $1,250,000
Life = 10 years

Therefore,
Double-declining depreciation rate = 2*(1,250,000/10)/1,250,000 = 2*0.1 = 2*10% = 20%
Book value at end of 2016 = 1,250,000 - (1,250,000*20/100) = $1,000,000
Book value at end of 2017 = 1,000,000 - (1,000,000*20/100) = $800,000
Book value at end of 2018 = 800,000 - (800,000*20/100) = $640,000

Changing to straight line depreciation:
Life remaining = 7 years
Book value = $640,000

Depreciation expense per year = 640,000/7 = $91,428.57

Therefore, depreciation expense for 2019 = $91,428.57

Yard Tools manufactures lawnmowers, weed-trimmers, and chainsaws. Its sales mix and unit contribution margin are as follows. Sal

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point (units)= Total fixed costs / Weighted average contribution margin

Weighted average contribution margin= 0.2*33 + 0.5*22 + 0.3*41

Weighted average contribution margin= $29.9

Break-even point (units)= 4,544,800 / 29.9

Break-even point (units)= 152,000 units

Now, for each product:

Lawnmowers= 0.2*152,000=30,400

Weed-trimmers= 0.5*152,000= 76,000

Chainsaws= 0.3*152,000= 45,600
