b. cash -asset

c. fees earned -owner’s equity

d. land -asset

Fees earned would increase retained earnings which is an integral part of the owner's equity

Land is a long-lived asset whose benefits would be derived in more than one year.

Supplies are assets of the business which are used in the business.

Wages expense reduces retained earning in owner's equity

Answer:

1) You should go home and watch TV.

Explanation:

Since you value seeing the play $10, then you should leave the theater and go to your house to watch TV since that has a higher value for you ($12).

We are talking about opportunity costs here. Opportunity costs are the extra costs or benefits lost from choosing one activity or investment over another. In this case the opportunity costs are:

watch the play = $10
watch TV = $12
read a book = $8

Since watching TV is more valuable to you, then that is what you should be doing.

olchik [2.2K]

Answer: "The rise in the price of a pair of running shoes will increase the supply of running shoes".

This statement is false because a decrease in demand for running shoes does not increase the price of a pair of running shoes and an increase in the price of a pair of running shoes does not increase the supply of running shoes.

This occurs as the price of a pair of running shoes increases,therefore decreasing the demand and thus the supply will not increase.

The per-unit standards for direct labor are 2 direct labor hours at $15 per hour. If in producing 2900 units, the actual direct

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

$5400 Favorable

Explanation:

Standard 2 hour at $15 per hour

Standard hours 2 hour per unit * 2900 units = 5800 hours

Total Standard cost = 5800 hours * $15 per hour = $87,000

Actual hours = 5100

Actual cost = $81600 / 5100 hours = $16 per hour

Variance = Standard - Actual

Labor hour Variance Favorable = 700 hours (5800 hours - 5100 hours)

Total Labor variance = $5400 ($87,000 - $81,600)

Answer:

2- Have each member specialize in the role that they are best in, to take advantage of benefits from specialization.

Explanation:

Here are the options

1- Continue with the current plan, as economies of scale should eventually kick in.

2- Have each member specialize in the role that they are best in, to take advantage of benefits from specialization.

3- Abandon the band, as continued practice is doomed to suffer diminishing marginal returns.

4- Invest their remaining savings in new instruments, as they are at a point where the marginal product of capital exceeds the marginal product of labor.

5- Change the rotation to be random rather than equal, to take advantage of heteroskedasticity.

Specialisation is when a person focuses on an activity in which they are efficient in or have a comparative advantage in

A person has a comparative advantage in production if he produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared to other people

Jaco seems to be efficient at playing bass, thus he should specialise in this activity

Jonny seems to be efficient at playing the guitar, thus he should specialise in this activity

An advantage of specialisation : Increased efficiency as a result of carrying out the same activity multiple time.

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

satisficing

Explanation:

Satisficing is a combination of "satisfy" and "suffice" (or enough). It refers to a situation where instead of trying to reach a completely satisfying solution, you just settle for a relatively good or a so-so solution.

Personally I believe it is something that borders mediocrity, since you should either do something right or do not do it at all. It is like doing something that might work, but not completely.
