Answer: C beyond a certain point, total utility decreases as income rises
- Diminishing marginal utility means that beyond certain point, the total utility from consuming a good decreases, and increasing its consumption monotonically, makes that every additional unit of consumption delivers less utility each time.
- This is because most behavioral consumers models try to emulate the principle of scarcity: the less available units of a good, the more it values.
- Then, an increasing income would allow us to buy more and more goods, and because of the existance of diminishing marginal utility, we would get less utility from consuming additional units of every goods each time.
- As an <u>example</u>,one could think about eating chocolate. The first bar would give us much happiness (utility), but increasing the number of bars consumed would eventually vanish this "happiness".
Answer:
d. $1050.
Explanation:
We multiply each account balance by the expected uncollectible amount and then addd them to get the expected total for doutful accounts

Balance of the allowance account: 100
The expense will be the adjustment made on the allowance to get the expected balance of 1,150
1,150 - 100 = 1,050
we increase the allowance bu 1,050 to get our expected uncollectible fro maccounts receivable agaisnt the bad debt expense ofthe period.
Answer:
The correct answer is c. is based on simplifying assumptions, but is still useful for illustrating scarcity, opportunity cost, and economic growth.
Explanation:
The production possibilities frontier (FPP) is a graphic representation of the maximum quantities of production that an economy can obtain in a given period using all the resources it has available.
In an economy that has thousands of products, the alternatives to produce one good or another and how much of each are very large. When an alternative is chosen, it means that other possibilities are being renounced. The relationship between what we choose and what we give up is the opportunity cost.
Answer:
The best allocation base for assembling activities costs are the number of parts actually assembled.
Since the number of parts is not an option int his question, the second best allocation base for the assembling process is A) direct labor hours.
If the process is highly automated, then the second best allocation base would be machine hours, but that isn't an option either.
Answer:
4.18%
Explanation:
The formula for used for this calculation is given as
Future value = Present( Initial) value (1 + r)ⁿ
Where n = number of years of the investment = 13 years
Future value (Amount of the investment after 13 years)= $5,280
Present ( Initial) value (Amount of the investment before 13 years) = $3,100
r = rate of return
The formula for r is derived as:
r = (Future value/ Present (initial) value)¹/ⁿ- 1
r = ($5,280/$3,100)¹/¹³ - 1
r = 1.0418139573 - 1
r = 0.0418139573
r is always in percentage format
r = 0.0418139573 × 100
r= 4.18139573%
Approximately, the rate of return annually for 13 years = 4.18%
