Signal mistakenly produced 1,000 defective cell phones. The phones cost $65 each to produce. A salvage company will buy the defe

ctive phones as they are for $33 each. It would cost Signal $88 per phone to rework the phones. If the phones are reworked, Signal could sell them for $144 each. Signal has excess capacity. Should Signal scrap or rework the phones?

Answer:

It is more profitable to continue to rework the phones and sell them.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Signal mistakenly produced 1,000 defective cell phones.

<u>The $65 per phone is a sunk cost. It will remain on both decisions, therefore, we will not take into account to make the decision.</u>

Sell as it is:

Income= 33*1,000= $33,000

Rework:

Costs= 88*1,000= $88,000

Sales= 144*1,000= $144,000

Total gain= $56,000

It is more profitable to continue to rework the phones and sell them.

Answer:

Being self-sufficient dramatically reduces one's standard of living.

Explanation:

Thoreau had a view that one should go into the woods, live simply and produce what you need with your own hands (be self-sufficient).

Economists explain why most people in the United States do not do this. To an economist everyone in society have their own specialisation. That is why they emphasize division of labour.

So going into the woods to be self-sufficient is not the best use of one's resources and abilities.

Everyone has something unique to contribute in an interaction. What I have comparative advantage producing will be difficult for another person.

This will create a network of people giving what they have comparative advantage producing in exchange for goods and services they do not have competitive advantage producing. This results in everyone maximising utility.

But Thoreau's view will not maximise utility because it is not possible you have advantage producing all you need.

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Option C Not recoverability test but fair value test

Explanation:

The reason is that the standard on impairment IAS 36 Impairment of Assets says that the assets with indefinite life must tested for impairment every accounting year end. The test only includes whether the fair value of the asset has been decreased or not. This test is helpful by asking questions that asks about the decrease in the life of the asset due to a new legislation, the performance of the asset is fallen (oil is less extracted now than before because the oil is not reachable), etc. The standard does not permits to use Recoverability test as it will come later once the company is sure that the asset fair value has been decreased.
