Answer:

new law that interfaces with productive efficiency.

Explanation:

The Production possibility curve shows all the two combination of goods or services that can be produced in an economy given its resources and technology. Carrying out production on the production possibility curve is efficient. Carrying out production to the right of the production possibility curve or outside the curve is impossible. Carrying out production inside or to the left of the production possibility indicates inefficiency in production .

Technological improvement and a gain of resources shifts the curve outward.

A loss of resocurces pushes the curve inward.

What is an externality? how do externalities relate to socially optimal quantity?
Elodia [21]
An externality in business or economics is where an industrial activity has an unexpected side effect which does not figure in the cost of the goods and services involved.  For example, I worked many years at a large mine. Just the existence of the mine there meant it was a no-hunting area so a side effect was that the moose used it as a refuge during hunting season which as a side effect was beneficial to the moose (and deer). Another example is that we used to crush mine rock for the haulroads for winter traction. As a result, it was found that the fines from this were concentrated with copper values so were put in the mill for processing-an unexpected outcome.

Which is the best option for people who need the items immediately but cannot pay cash now?
professor190 [17]
<h2>Answer</h2>

Buy on Credit

<h3>Explanation</h3>

When in a liquidity problem and items have to be bought, buying on credit seems to be the best option. Buying on credit allows immediate ownership of required items whereas the money can be paid later as per the credit policy and terms. This permits the consumer to take the advantage of item ownership with delayed payment hence double advantage.

You have a small business that makes $50,000 accounting and economic profit for you. As a disabled person, you must work at home
kifflom [539]

Answer: This means: "d. Your economic profit has gone down and your accounting profit has stayed the same."

Explanation: The difference between the accounting and economic benefit is associated with the type of cost that each includes:

The accounting benefit is nothing more than the difference between income and cost.  In this case it is still $50000.

The economic benefit includes not only explicit costs. The economic benefit is the difference between income and total costs (explicit and implicit). Therefore, this benefit is less than the accounting benefit. Because in this case the cost of working at home is considered.

shtirl [24]

Answer:

$8,000

Explanation:

The computation of the monthly rental expense allocated is shown below:

Rent allocated to 1st floor:

= $30,000 × 2 ÷ 3

= $20,000

There is 50,000 square feet i.e. equally divided between first floor and second floor. so 25,000 square feet for each floor.

Now  

Rent allocated to 10,000 square feet:

= ($20,000 ÷ 25,000) × 10,000

= $8,000

Explanation:

1. Using the perpetual inventory system where transactions are recorded to inventory immediately and not at period-end, the sales transactions will reduce the balance of the inventory account with the cost of sales and increase the cost of sales with the same amount.  The Sales account is increased by sales value while the Accounts Receivable is also increased with the same amount.

2. The write-off is initially charged to the uncollectible expense account directly in 2017 but subsequently, it will be debited to the Allowance of Uncollectible account, applying the allowance method.

3. The perpetual inventory system, inventory transactions are recognized in the inventory and cost of goods sold accounts immediately and not at period-end like the periodic inventory system, which waits until inventory count to recognize transactions.
