Answer:

C. Prepaid insurance 18,000 debit

Cash 18,000 credit

Explanation:

The company will do a mistake if it reocrd this as a mistake as it will be posting an expense for an evnt that take place during the next accounting cycle (2017) As the insurance will be outstanding during that period not the one ending.

Also it is not an expense as the insurance company now has the obligation to perform if something happens So we have an asset right now, through time and as long as the insurance is not executed we will declare the expenses.

But for now, it is an asset.

Answer:

393 units will need to be sold to breakeven

Explanation:

Break even point is the point where a Company makes neither makes a profit nor a loss.

Step 1 : Calculate new variables

New Sales = $250 x 1.40 = $350

Variable Costs = $250 x 30 % = $75

New Fixed Costs = $120,000 x 90 % = $108,000

Step 2 : Break even (units)

Break even (units) = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution per unit

= $108,000 ÷ ($350 - $75)

= 393 units

Thus, 393 units will need to be sold to breakeven

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

ERIC: Hi, Hubert. This is my first economics course, and many of the concepts discussed in class are really confusing. Today the professor explained that the true cost of going to college includes both the tuition I pay as well as something called the "opportunity cost" of going to college. I don't understand. I pay $32,000 per year in tuition. The tuition is what I pay to the school, so it seems like that should be my true cost!

HUBERT: Hi, Eric. Many concepts in economics can be confusing at first. Let's talk it through.

Economists think of costs a bit differently than just the dollar amount that you pay. To an economist, the true cost of college includes the total value of what you give up in order to acquire your college education. In other words, not only did you give up the tuition money that you paid, but by attending college, you gave up opportunities to do other things with your time as well. This is where the idea of opportunity cost comes from.

The opportunity cost of your decision to go to college is the value of the next best alternative that you gave up. Suppose that your next best alternative to college is to work as a cashier. By not going to college, and taking this job, you could earn $16,000 per year. Then your opportunity cost of college is $16,000, and your total cost of a year of college is $48,000 per year.

ERIC: I think I get it now. So when I take into account the opportunity cost of college, the true cost is actually more than just the tuition.

HUBERT: Correct. Thinking about costs in this way will help you make more rational decisions in your everyday life. Now tell me, how can you explain your decision to go to college?

ERIC: I chose to go to college because, for me, the value of a year in college gives me a higher stand and offers me a better long-term opportunity that someone without a college degree.

Explanation:

The question poses a discussion about the opportunity cost of attending college. The understanding behind this is that by choosing to go to college, Eric is forfeiting the opportunity to get a job as a cashier that would earn him $16,000 a year while incurring his college fees of $32,000. Therefore, the total cost of attending college to him should be $48,000.
