Answer: Positive, Normative
Explanation: Positive economics is based on facts and objects that can be verified. While, normative economics is based on value based judgement that are difficult to verify.
Making a prediction today about the world's population in twenty years <em>based on current growth trends</em> is an example of <em>positive economics</em>.
<em>Advising</em> the residents of a town to choose a toll road over a freeway extension due to a limited budget and high trucking usage is an example of <em>normative economics</em>.
Answer:
Option Total assets, total liabilities, and equity are unchanged.
Explanation:
The reason is that the double entry to record this transaction is as under:
Dr Cash Account $42,000
Cr Accounts Receivable $42,000
Hence there increase in one asset and decrease in other asset will have zero net impact on assets. As equity and liabilities are not effected by the transaction, hence they will also remain unchanged.
This answer would be reliability.
Answer:
3.73%
Explanation:
The computation of the rate of interest that makes the equivalent is shown below:
As we know that
Present value=Cash flow × Present value discounting factor ( interest rate% , time period)
Let us assume the interest rate be x
where,
Present value of $400,000 is
= $400,000 ÷ 1.0x ^5
And,
Present value of $1,000,000 be
= $1,000,000 ÷ 1.0x^30
Now eqaute these two equations
$400,000 ÷ 1.0x^5 = $1,000,000 ÷ 1.0x^30
(1.0x^30) ÷ (1.0x^5) = $1,000,000 ÷ $400,000
1.0x^(30 - 5)=2.5
1.0x^25=2.5
1.0x = (2.5)^(1 ÷ 25)
x =1.03733158 - 1
= 3.73%
Answer:
The marginal benefit from selling the vane without restoring it is $200.
Explanation:
Marginal benefits are the extra income a company can get from selling one additional unit of production.
Zane had already spent $250 in purchasing the vane and the restoration process.
Zane has two options:
- Sell the vane as it is for $200.
- Keep restoring the vane, spend $200 more and sell the vane for $500.
If Zane decides to sell the vane as it is, his marginal benefit will be $200. That would not be enough to cover his costs, this transaction will result in a $50 loss.
If Zane decides to continue the restoration, then his marginal costs will be $200 extra, but his marginal benefit would be $500. If he chose this option he could end up earning a $50 profit.
