Answer:

The answer is A. unemployment and/or inefficiency

Explanation:

Production Possibility Curve  is also known as production–possibility frontier is a curve that shows different ways in which two goods can be produced with a given resource and or technology.

Since resources are scarce, a choice has to be made between the alternative goods that can be produced. So there must be a choice f what to produce and how much to produce. If one resource is chosen, less of the other will be produced.

Any point inside a production possibilities curve indicates unemployment and/or inefficiency

A point outside the production possibilities curve is not possible

A cost incurred in the past that is not relevant to any current decision is classified as a(n): incremental cost. opportunity co
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

sunk cost.

Explanation:

Sunk cost can be defined as a cost or an amount of money that has been spent on something in the past and as such cannot be recovered. Thus, because a sunk cost has been incurred by an individual or organization it can't be recovered and as such it is irrelevant in the decision-making process such as investments, projects etc.

Basically, sunk costs are referred to as fixed costs.

Sunk costs are the opposite of relevant costs because they can't be changed or recovered, as they've been spent or contracted in the past already. Hence, relevant cost are relevant for decision-making purposes but not sunk costs.

Hence, a cost incurred in the past that is not relevant to any current decision is classified as a sunk cost.

For example, ABC investors decide to acquire land and develop residential houses at a location X. This decision is informed on the fact that the government had recently enacted a policy that led to an increase in demand for residential properties in that location. 6 months into construction of the residential houses, the government reviews and rescinds the policy. This leads to a sharp decline in property values in location X. ABC investors had already incurred 10 million dollars in the project. The 10 million dollars is considered sunk cost.

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer: 19.01%

Explanation:

The simple rate of return is the Income that came from an investment divided by the cost of the investment.

It is therefore expressed by;

Simple rate of return = Net Income / Initial investment

Initial investment

= Price of new machine - salvage value of old machine

= 432,000 - 27,000

= $405,000

Net Income

= Income - depreciation of new machine

= 149,000 - (432,000/6)

= $77,000

Simple rate of return

= 77,000/405,000

= 19.01%

Suppose Jane has chosen a combination of two goods, A and B, such that MU/P of good A is 10 (MUA/PA = 10), and the MU/P of good
Aneli [31]

Answer:

Option D.

Explanation:

A rule for maximizing utility  is that if an individual wants to maximize total utility, for every dollar that is spent, he/she should spend it on the commodity that yields the greatest marginal utility per dollar of expenditure.

In the scenario presented above, we can see that the marginal utilities per dollar for both commodities that Jane consumes are equal, therefore she can neither increase or decrease spending on any particular commodity in order to increase or decrease its marginal utility, this is because she gets an equal amount of marginal utility from both commodities.

Therefore, with the same amount of money, Jane cannot increase utility.
