Answer:
1. Trade off
2. Opportunity cost
3. Cost-benefit analysis
4. Diminishing marginal utility
Explanation:

2. Opportunity cost is the second-best alternative or value of the alternative, that must be given up when making a choice. Because of scarce resources with alternative uses allocation of resources involves some opportunity cost.
3. Cost-benefit analysis can be defined as the process of examining the benefits and costs of each available alternative in arriving at a decision. Resources are allocated efficiently if the cost incurred and benefit earned is equal.
4. As we go on increasing the quantity consumed of a product, the marginal utility or satisfaction earned from its consumption goes on decreasing. This is called diminishing marginal utility.
Answer:
Sheridan Company
The correct amount of inventory that Sheridan should report is:
= $367,100
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
December 31 Inventory based on physical inventory = $320,800
Goods held on consignment by Herschel = 46,300
December 27, FOB destination goods ($22,000) 0
Correct amount of inventory that Sheridan should report $367,100
b) Goods on consignment are generally the property of the consignor (supplier) and not the consignee's (retailer's). Therefore, they must appear in the balance sheet of the consignor. Goods on FOB destination remain the property of the supplier until they reach the buyer's destination. This is why it is not included above.
