Answer:
Sunk cost
Explanation:
The sunken cost is the expense previously incurred that will not be compensated in future. Plus, it's also called past expense.
The cost at the time of decision-making is not significant and it should be ignored.
In the given question, the $3,500 spent which is not now recovered and hence represents the sunk cost
Answer:
The criticism is true to a certain degree, and unjustified to another degree.
Explanation:
It is true in the sense that the U.S. has indeed lost a lot of manufacturing to Mexico, simply because Mexico has far lower labor costs, and U.S. manufacturers have decided to take advantage of that by taking their plants to Mexican states.
It is also true that Mexico has been running a trade surplus with the United States in recent years, mainly because of the large manufacturing sector that Mexico has been developing.
On the other hand, the criticism is unjustified because neither a trade deficit nor the moving of manufacturing to Mexico mean that the United States as a whole is in worst condition than before NAFTA. In fact, most economists agree that free trade is a good thing for the economy as a whole, and that most people benefit from the lower costs and specialization that trade brings about.
The problem lies then, in the people who lose their jobs: formerly unionized manufacturing workers from the Rust Belt, for example. These people need to be helped with government assitance, both in terms of welfare, and training, so that they can find new jobs and make ends meet in the meanwhile.
Answer:
The answer is: $215,000
Explanation:
Railway Company should include the goods worth $35,000 that Rogers Consignment store has. Once this amount is included, the total inventory for Railway Company should be $215,000 ($180,000 + $35,000).
Merchandise purchased and shipped as FOB destination, belongs to the seller until it has been properly delivered to the buyer. It will increase the inventory once it arrives on January 3.
Answer: d. Entire initial investment will not be recovered.
Explanation:
The Payback period by definition is the amount of time it will take a Project to recover the initial investment into it. For example, if a project had an investment of $20 million and made $5 million every year, the Payback period would be 4 years.
Now, if the amount of time it will take to recover an investment is longer than the expected amount of time the project will run (expected useful life) then logically speaking that would mean that the Investment would not be entirely recovered because the project will be done before it can pay off the investment hence Option D is correct.
