be eliminated as long as the opportunity cost of a cleanup exceeds the cost of the resources required for the cleanup. all pollution in the lake should be eliminated regardless of cost. pollution should be eliminated as long as the benefit from a cleanup exceeds the opportunity cost. no pollution in the lake should be eliminated regardless of benefit.

Answer:

The correct answer is c) pollution should be eliminated as long as the benefit from the cleanup exceeds the opportunity costs.

Explanation:

The opportunity cost is presented in situations where there are two or more good options, so the company must choose the option with more benefits leaving the second one that is known as the opportunity cost. The opportunity cost must have lower profits than the option selected.

For example, in the case of the pollution of a lake, the economist concluded that the elimination of pollution should be chosen if the benefit is more significant than the second-best option.

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

The conversion cost per equivalent unit is $3.31

Explanation:

The computation of the conversion cost per equivalent unit is shown below:

= Total conversion costs ÷ Total equivalent units

where,

Total conversion cost = completed units + Conversion costs during April

                                    = $6,000 + $35,000

                                    = $41,000

And, the total equivalents units equal to

= Finished good units × percentage of completion + ending work in process units  × percentage of completion

= 11,500 units × 100% + 1,500 units × 60%

= 11,500 units + 900 units

= 12,400 units

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the per unit would equal to

= $41,000 ÷ 12,400 units

= $3.31 per unit

Sergio [31]

Answer:

Distributive bargaining

Explanation:

Distributive bargaining can be defined as a type of bargaining system/strategy in which one party gains only if the other party loses.

Distributive bargaining is mostly used when there is a negotiation that involves fixed resources e.g; money, assets, etc.

Distributive bargaining as a negotiation strategy does not aim to provide a win-win situation for all parties involved but that one party loses while the other gains considerably.

An example of distributive bargaining is a supermarket having a fixed price for an item. in that situation, you can't bargain and as such you either buy the item or leave the store.

That results in a win for the supermarket and a loss for you the buyer should yo choose to buy the item.
