Answer:

D. owned by private citizens

Explanation:

A for-profit organization can be defined as a type of organization that is created to primarily generate more revenue than its operating costs by providing lawful services to customers. By generating more revenue than operating costs, a for-profit organization is able to make profit.

Some examples of for-profit organizations are privately owned establishments such as hospitals, hotels, restaurants, supermarkets, gas stations, etc.

Hence, a characteristic of a for-profit healthcare facility is that it is owned by private citizens.

Unlike government agencies or organizations which are being run with public funds and at a subsidized rate (focuses on services everyone can afford), for-profit are mostly owned by private citizens, who are always after making profits from the business.

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Answer is explained in the explanation section below.

Explanation:

Solution:

First, we need to sort out the data given properly, so that we can answer to the best.

Data Given:

For Chamber D103:

Installed Cost = -400,000 USD

Annual Operating Cost Per Year = -4000 USD

Salvage Value 10% of P = 40,000 USD

Life = 3 years

Similarly,

For Chamber 490G:

For Chamber D103:

Installed Cost = -250,000 USD

Annual Operating Cost Per Year = -3000 USD

Salvage Value 10% of P = 25,000 USD

Life = 2 years

For Chamber D103

AW Chamber D103 = -400,000 x (A/P, 10%, 3) + 40000 x (A/F,10%, 3) - 4000

So,

(A/P, 10%, 3) = 0.40211 (from the compound interest table )

(A/F,10%, 3) = 0.30211

AW Chamber D103 = -400,000 x 0.40211 + 40000 x 0.30211 - 4000

AW Chamber D103 = -152,760 USD

For Chamber 490G:

AW Chamber 490G = -250,000 x (A/P,10%,2) + 25000 x (A/F,10%, 2) - 3000

So,

(A/P,10%,2) = 0.5762

(A/F,10%, 2) = 0.4762

AW Chamber 490G = -250,000 x 0.5762 + 25000 x 0.4762 - 3000

AW Chamber 490G = -135,143 USD

So, after evaluating both the chambers using the AW method, more economical is the chamber 490G.

Now, we need to change the values to check whether the chamber selection can be changed or not:

so, New values for Chamber D103

P = -300,000 and Salvage value of 30,000

For Chamber D103

AW Chamber D103 = -300,000 x (A/P, 10%, 3) + 30000 x (A/F,10%, 3) - 4000

So,

(A/P, 10%, 3) = 0.40211 (from the compound interest table )

(A/F,10%, 3) = 0.30211

AW Chamber D103 = -300,000 x 0.40211 + 30,000 x 0.30211 - 4000

AW Chamber D103 = -115,570 USD

New Values for Chamber D103

P = -500,000 and the Salvage Value = 50,000

AW Chamber D103 = -300,000 x (A/P, 10%, 3) + 30000 x (A/F,10%, 3) - 4000

So,

(A/P, 10%, 3) = 0.40211 (from the compound interest table )

(A/F,10%, 3) = 0.30211

AW Chamber D103 = -500,000 x 0.40211 + 50,000 x 0.30211 - 4000

AW Chamber D103 = -189,950 USD

Hence,

At P = 300,000 will definitely change the selection to D103 Chamber.

Recall the text’s definition of diminishing marginal utility: "the common pattern that each marginal unit of a good consumed pro

son4ous [18]

<u>Explanation:</u>

Note, the term diminishing marginal utility refers to an economic principle that states that the more unit of a particular commodity or service we consume, the more the satisfaction (utility) derived out of the consumption reduces or diminishes.

For instance, if I watched movies produced by a particular entertainment company for several days (eg Disney Studios), I may become dissatisfied using this particular entertainment provider and may decide to try another service (Netflix).

Another instance could occur after exercising, I'm given 3 bottles of coke, after taking my first bottle, the amount of utility I derive would reduce until I get to the third bottle, at this point I've reached my peak.

The law of diminishing marginal utility failed for someone I know who had used the same type of toothpaste and brushed her teeth at least once a day for a period of over 10 years.

Two firms with identical capital intensity ratios are generating the same amount of sales. However, Firm A is operating at full

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Firm A is operating at full capacity, if its sales keep increasing, then t will need to invest to expand its production capacity. Since firm B is operating below full capacity level, if its sales keep increasing it will have some spare production capacity it can use before operating at full capacity.

Therefore firm A will need to invest in an expansion of its production capacity while firm B can keep operating without new investments.
