Answer: d. more coffee and fewer football tickets
Explanation:
MU/P refers to the marginal utility gained per dollar of an alternative and rationale consumers are always expected to maximise their utility by picking alternatives that give them more utility as opposed to less.
The MU/P for coffee is 20 whilst that of football tickets in 10. This means that more utility is gained from getting more coffee as opposed to football tickets. The action that would maximise utility would therefore be one where the consumer gets more coffee and fewer football tickets.
This is tough to answer in 3-5 sentences, and tends to also be a heavy identifier of your possible political leanings. You'll have to apologize if some of mine leak out in the response, but this is a question we debate hotly more frequently than every 4 years.
In general, international trade can help increase the GDP and overall profits for US-based corporations. However, if all we do is export, and we don't import, other countries don't look favorably upon that and may heavily tax our goods to counter this.
I believe we do need to be thoughtful about the amounts and kinds of international trade that we engage in. For example, farming is always a hotly debated issue for international trade, in part because farmers in other countries with a dramatically lower cost of living OR farmers in countries with a favorable currency rate (exchange from their currency to our dollars gives them an advantage) can undercut our farmers here in the US, many of whom are already struggling.
There are also those who are worried that when we import produce from countries that have not outlawed pesticides we know are carcinogenic, for instance, this creates not only a disadvantage for US farmers, but also for consumers who may be concerned about health issues.
As another example of this, many countries outlawed import of US beef during the Mad Cow Epidemic. We in turn also placed bans on importing beef from the UK.
These are examples of why it's important to be thoughtful about trade, but there are certainly many others, including decline in production jobs within the US that have left cities like Detroit a ghost town (this was formerly the hub of our automotive industry production).
Answer:
Last Fiscal Year:
Interest Expense = $5550
Current Fiscal Year:
Interest Expense = $11100
Explanation:
According to the accrual basis of accounting, the expenses and revenues relating to a certain period should be recorded in that particular period whether of not they have been received. The fiscal year of Kieso ends on 31 December and as the loan was taken one month prior to the start of the current fiscal year, it was taken at the start of December of last fiscal year.
This means that the interest expense on loan relating to last December will be charged to the last fiscal year and the interest expense relating to January and February will be charged to the current fiscal year. The interest expense amount will be calculated as follows,
Last Fiscal Year = 740000 * 9% * 1/12 => $5550
Current Fiscal Year = 740000 * 9% * 2/12 => $11100

Answer:
$8,000
Explanation:
The computation of the interest expense is shown below:
= Note payable × interest rate × number of months ÷ total number of months - Note payable × interest rate × number of months ÷ total number of months
= $200,000 × 12% × 6 months ÷ 12 months - $200,000 × 12% × 2 months ÷ 12 months
= $12,000 - $4,000
= $8,000
The 6 months is calculated from November 1, 20X1 to May 1, 20X2
And, the 2 months is calculated from On November 1, 20X1 to December 31,20X1
We assume the accounts are closed on December 31
Or we can do one thing also
Take the 4 months from Jan 1, 20X2 to May 1, 20X2
= $200,000 × 12% × 4 months ÷ 12 months
= $8,000
