Complete Question:
1. Select the correct statement regarding relevant costs and revenues.
A. Sunk costs are not relevant for decision-making purposes.
B. Relevant costs are frequently called unavoidable costs.
C. Direct labor is an example of a unit-level cost.
D. Only variable costs are relevant for decision making.
Answer:
1. A
2. D
3. B
Explanation:
1. The correct statement regarding relevant costs and revenues is that sunk costs are not relevant for decision-making purposes. Sunk costs are the opposite of relevant costs because they can't be changed or recovered, as they've been spent or contracted in the past already. Hence, relevant cost are relevant for decision-making purposes but not sunk costs.
2. Expected future revenues that differ among the alternatives under consideration are often referred to as differential revenues. It is the difference in revenues among two (2) alternatives, which would influence decision making.
3. The benefits sacrificed when one alternative is chosen over another are referred to as opportunity costs. It is also referred to as alternative forgone.

Answer:
d. percentage change in the quantity demanded of one good divided by the percentage change in the price of another good.
Explanation:
Price-demand elasticity measures the demand sensitivity of a good when a change in the price of another good occurs. For example, what happens to the demand for bread when the price of butter varies? This depends on the cross elasticity of demand since these goods tend to be complementary.
The price elasticity of cross demand between two goods is easily calculated by a formula where the numerator is the change in the quantity of a good and the denominator is the percentage change in the price of the complementary good.
If the calculation of elasticity is greater than 1, it means that the amount demanded for bread is sensitive (elastic) to the price of butter and tends to vary sharply. If the result is between 0 and 1, the demand is inelastic, that is, the amount of bread demanded will not change considerably when the price of butter varies. If the calculation is equal to 1, then the demand for bread varies perfectly with the price of butter.
Answer:
Ans. A) $9,314.45
Explanation:
Hi, first we have to bring to present value the monthly payments to be made for 30 years (360 months). In order for this to be useful, we have to convert this annua compounded monthly rate (6.25%) to an effective rate, that is 6.25% / 12 = 0.5208%. Now, when we find this present value, we are going to substract it from the price of the house and that is the value of the down payment. But let´s just go ahead and do it together.
We have to use this formula to bring to present value the $1,595.85 monthly payments, for 30 years (360 months) at a rate of 6.25% (0.5208% monthly).
It should look like this
Now, let´s go ahead and find the down payment.
So, the answer is a). $9,314.45
Best of luck.
Answer: will increase but this will not affect living standards
Explanation:
GDP is sometimes called an incomplete measure because there are certain measures that it does not include such as the black market.
If firms in the black market shift to the formal sector, they will now be included in GDP which means that GDP will increase.
The living standards of people in the country will probably not change however because the firms involved were simply shifting sectors and are not said to be more or less prosperous as a result. Assuming they remained the same, nothing changes for living standards.
