If there are important external benefits associated with the consumption of a product:_______.
pentagon [3]

Answer:

C. the market demand curve understates the relative importance of the product and resources are therefore underallocated to its production.

Explanation:

Positive external benefits refer to third party positive side effects, above & beyond private marginal benefit to the concerned consumer.

Eg : Education - Its consumption not only affects the concerned person, but the positive trickle down to the people & society around.

Personal consumption decisions are based on : equalisation - of private marginal benefit (demand) curve & private marginal cost curve. However, goods having positive external benefits have real marginal benefit curve increased over private benefit curve, by the extent of extra marginal social benefit.

So, market demand (based on private marginal benefit) curve understates the importance of product, and resources are therefore underallocated to its production (due to undervaluation of demand).

A company's fixed operating costs are $420,000, its variable costs are $3.20 per unit, and the product's sales price is $4.65. W
Hatshy [7]

Answer: The volume of sales that will result in a break-even point is 289,655 units

Explanation: For any organization or company to break-even means its total costs is just the same as its total revenue. This means no profit, and no loss either. Or better still, profit/loss equals zero.

The equation to determine the profit or otherwise of an organization is given as Revenue minus Cost. That is, the sales figure should exceed the cost of production, and the excess would be the profit. If on the other hand the cost of production exceeds the sales figure, then the equation would result in a negative figure which simply means a loss has been recorded.

In the question above, the costs have been given as;

Fixed cost = 420000

Variable cost = 3.2y

Total cost = 420000 + 3.2y

Where y is the number of units produced.

Also the revenue has been given as 4.65y

That is, sales price multiplied by number of units produced/sold

The profit is given as revenue minus cost while the break-even point is given as revenue equals cost, that is;

420000 + 3.2y = 4.65y

Collect like terms and you have;

420000 = 4.65y - 3.2y

420000 = 1.45y

Divide both sides by 1.45

289655.172 = y

y ≈ 289,655

Therefore the sales volume that will result in a break even point is 289,655 units

Electrodo Co. purchased land for $55,000 with $20,000 paid in cash and $35,000 in notes payable. What effect does this transacti
Archy [21]

Answer:

(c). Net increase in assets of $35,000 and a net increase in liabilities of $35,000

Explanation:

Accrual basis of accounting attempts to record transactions as and when they arise and not on the basis of  when money is actually received or paid. Once a liability is certain, such a liability is provided for immediately.

The journal entry for purchase of Land partly by cash and partly for issuing a notes payable would be:

Land                                                  Dr. $55,000

     To Cash                                                          $20,000

     To Notes Payable                                           $35,000

(Being land purchased by payment of $20,000 in cash and a note being issued against the balance amount)

Land and cash are assets whereas Notes Payable is a liability.

So, the effect of the above transaction would be:

Net increase of $35,000 ( $ 55,000 - $ 20,000) as debit in fixed assets account increases their balance whereas cash being a real account, the rule being debit what comes in, credit what goes out. So credit in cash account would reduce the cash balance by $ 20,000.

Notes Payable account which is to be paid in future is a liability which shall increase the liabilities by $ 35,000.

So, the correct answer is (c), Net increase in assets of $35,000 and a net increase in liabilities of $35,000.
