Answer:

Some core ideas in behavioral economics focus on people’s propensity to do nothing, as evident in default bias and status quo bias. Inaction may be due to a number of factors, including inertia or anticipated regret. However, sometimes people have an impulse to act in order to gain a sense of control over a situation and eliminate a problem. This has been termed the action bias (Patt & Zeckhauser, 2000). For example, a person may opt for a medical treatment rather than a no-treatment alternative, even though clinical trials have not supported the treatment’s effectiveness.

Assume that you and your best friend each have $1,000 to invest. You invest your money in a fund that pays 10% per year compound

marishachu [46]

Answer:

correct answer is c. You both have the same amount of money

Explanation:

given data

invest = $1000

pay compound interest = 10%

pay simple interest = 10%

time = 1 year

solution

we get here difference in the total amount that is your friend money - your money .................1

so difference in the total amount = invest × $(1+rate)^{time}$ - [ invest + ( invest × rate × time) ] ......................2

put here value

difference in the total amount = $1000 × $(1+0.10)^{1}$ - [$1000 + ( 1000 × 10% × 1) ]

difference in the total amount = 0

so correct answer is c. You both have the same amount of money

During 2018, TRC Corporation has the following inventory transactions.

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Jan. 1 Beginning inventory 48 $40 $1,920

Apr. 7 Purchase 128 42 5,376

Jul. 16 Purchase 198 45 8,910

Oct. 6 Purchase 108 46 4,968

For the entire year, the company sells 427 units of inventory for $58 each.

Ending inventory units= 482 - 427= 55

1)

Under the FIFO (first-in, first-out) method, the ending inventory is calculated using the cost of the lasts units remaining in inventory.

Ending inventory= 55*46= $2,530

COGS= 48*40 + 128*42 + 198*45 + 53*46= $18,644

Revenue= 427*58= $24,766

Gross profit= 24,766 - 18,644= $6,122

2)

Under the LIFO (last-in, first-out) method, the ending inventory is calculated using the cost of the firsts units remaining in inventory.

Ending inventory= 48*40 + 7*42= $2,214

COGS= 108*46 + 198*45 + 121*42= $18,960

Revenue= 427*58= $24,766

Gross profit= 24,766 - 18,960= $5,806

3)

First, we need to calculate the weighted-average cost:

weighted-average cost= (40 + 42 + 45 + 46) / 4= $43.25

Ending inventory= 55*43.25= $2,378.75

COGS= 427*43.25= $18,467.75

Revenue= 427*58= $24,766

Gross profit= 24,766 - 18,467.75= $6,298.25

Harris Co. is considering a 12-year project that is estimated to cost $900,000 and has no residual value. Harris seeks to earn a

masha68 [24]

Answer:

annual income = $70,292.52

Explanation:

initial outlay $900,000

in order to determine the net cash flows per year we can use the present value of an ordinary annuity:

PV = annual cash flow x annuity factor

PV = $900,000
annuity factor, 15%, 12 years = 6.1944

annual cash flow = $900,000 / 6.1944 = $145,292.52

annual cash flow = [(revenue - operating costs - depreciation) x (1 - tax rate)] + depreciation

revenue - operating costs - depreciation = annual income
tax rate = 0?
depreciation = $900,000 / 12 = $75,000

$145,292.52 = annual income + $75,000

annual income = $145,292.52 - $75,000 = $70,292.52
