Answer:

b. diminishing returns to specialization.

Explanation:

Diminishing returns is also called diminishing productivity. It states that as additional unit of input is used in production it will get to a stage where more of input will be required to maintain output levels.

If the same level of input is used it will result in reduction in output over time.

This is exemplified in this secanrio where it takes 10 units of resources to increase its output of sugar from 12 tons to 13 tons, but 11 units of resources to increase output from 13 tons to 14 tons, and 12 units of resources to increase output from 14 tons and 15 tons.

It takes more input to increase output by 1 ton

Imagine that a local water company issued $10,000 ten-year bond at an interest rate of 6%. You are thinking about buying this bo
mylen [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

The $10,000 is the face value of the bond. Using a financial calculator, input the following to calculate the price at a year before maturity; i.e. at year 9;

Time to maturity; N = 10 - 9 = 1

Annual interest rate; I/Y = 9%

Annual coupon payment; PMT = 0

Face value of the bond; FV = 10,000

then compute present value ; CPT PV = $9,174.31

Therefore, you will pay less than $10,000 for the bond and the price would be  as above $9,174.31

Kurt has 25/50/25 auto insurance coverage. One evening he lost control of his vehicle, hitting a parked car and damaging a store
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

A. $25,000

B. $4,300

Explanation:

A. Calculation to determine What amount will the insurance company pay for the damages

Using this formula

Insurance payment=(Claim amount, Policy limit)

Let plug in the formula

Insurance payment= $25,000

Therefore the amount that the insurance company will pay for the damages is $25,000

B. Calculation to determine What amount will Kurt have to pay

Using this formula

Personal liability=Claim amount - Insurance payment

Let plug in the formula

Personal liability=($9,000 + $20,300) - $25,000

Personal liability=$29,300-$25,000

Personal liability=$4,300

Therefore Kurt have to pay $4,300

Computing second-year depreciation and accumulated depreciationAt the beginning of 2016, Air Asia purchased a used airplane at a
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

1. a.$4,375,000

  b. $7,500,000

 c. $9,800,000

2. $8,750,000

  $18,200,000

  $17,500,000

Explanation:

1. The computation of the depreciation expense for the second year is presented  below:

a) Straight-line method:

= (Purchase value of airplane - residual value) ÷ (useful life)

= ($40,000,000  - $5,000,000) ÷ (8 years)

= ($35,000,000) ÷ (8 years)  

= $4,375,000

In this method, the depreciation is same for all the remaining useful life

(b) Double-declining balance method:

First we have to find the depreciation rate which is shown below:

= One ÷ useful life

= 1 ÷ 8

= 12.5%

Now the rate is double So, 25%

In year 1, the original cost is $40,000,000 so the depreciation is $10,000,000 after applying the 25% depreciation rate

And, in year 2, the $30,000,000 × 25% = $7,500,000

(c) Units-of-production method:

= (Purchase value of airplane - residual value) ÷ (estimated miles)  

= ($40,000,000  - $5,000,000) ÷ ($5,000,000 miles)

= ($35,000,000) ÷ ($5,000,000 miles)  

= $7 per miles

In first year, it would be

= Miles in first year × depreciation per miles

= 1,200,000 miles × $7

= $8,400,000

Now for the second year, it would be  

= Miles in second year × depreciation per miles

= 1,400,000 miles × $7

= $9,800,000

2. The calculation of the accumulated depreciation balance would be

Straight line method:

= $4,375,000 + $4,375,000

= $8,750,000

Double-declining balance method:

= $10,000,000 + $7,500,000

= $17,500,000

Units-of-production method:

= $8,400,000 + $9,800,000

=  $18,200,000
