Answer:

So, accounting rate of return = 33 %

Explanation:

given data

net income after tax = $179,850

initial cost = $545,000

time = 7 year

salvage value = $34,000

we will get here  the accounting rate of return

solution

as we know that accounting rate of return is express as

accounting rate of return = Net income ÷ initial investment    .................1

put here value and we get

accounting rate of return = \frac{179850}{545000}  

So, accounting rate of return = 33 %

  Premium ob BP      40,783 credit

--to record issuance--

Interest expense 29,631.32 debit

premium on BP      1,868.68 debit

         cash                     31,500  credit

--to reocrd first interest payment--

Interest expense 29,556.57 debit

premium on BP      1,943.43 debit

     interest payable          31,500  credit

--to record accrued interest at year-end on BP--

Explanation:

procceds                      740,783

face value                <u>     700,000    </u>

premium on bonds payable 40,783

When comparing, the firm received more than the face value hence, there is a premium on the bonds as the coupon payment are above the market rate.

Now, the interest will be calculate as follow:

carrying value x market rate:

740,783 x 0.08/2 = 29,631.32 interest expense

cash outlay:

700,000 x 0.09/2 = 31,500

amortization on premium (difference) 1,868.68

new carrying value: 740,783 - 1,868,68 = 738,914

second payment accrual:

738,914 x 0.04 = 29,556.57

cash outlay                  31500

amortization    1,943.43

Joe is currently in consumer equilibrium by consuming cheese and crackers, such that the last cracker consumed yielded 8 utils a
Ludmilka [50]

Joe should decrease his consumption of crackers and his marginal utility from crackers will  increase and also  increase his consumption of cheese and his marginal utility from cheese will decrease .

<h3>What happens to marginal utility when consumption decreases?</h3>

According to the Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility, the additional utility derived from increasing consumption declines with each additional increase in consumption level.

What happens to marginal utility when consumption increases?

According to the law of declining marginal utility, when consumption rises, the marginal utility gained from each extra unit decreases, all other things being equal.

Why does marginal utility decrease as more is consumed?

  • Consumers will only purchase more of a specific good if the price drops since they get less satisfaction from consuming more units of that good.
  • Thus, the law of diminishing marginal value contributes to the understanding of the law of demand.
