Answer:

Using the cost method means that the stock is recorded at the price it cost to buy it back.

Journal entry is therefore:

Date                     Account Title                                       Debit                 Credit

Aug 1, 2014         Treasury Stock                                $72,000

                            Cash                                                                           $72,000

<u>Working:</u>

= 4,000 shares * 18

= $72,000

a rational decisionmaker takes an action if and only if the marginal cost exceeds the marginal benefit.
Mariulka [41]

The only time a rational decision maker will choose an action is when the marginal utility of the activity is greater than the marginal cost of the action. Option A

This is further explained below.

<h3>A rational decisionmaker takes an action if and only if:?</h3>

The marginal cost is a term that refers to the change in the total cost that takes place as a direct consequence of an increase in the quantity of a product or service that is produced.

In the field of economics, this phrase refers to the amount of money that must be spent in order to produce one more unit of output.

In conclusion, if the marginal benefit of the action is greater than the marginal cost of the action, then the action will be conducted by a rational actor if there is a positive expectation that the action will have a net positive outcome. Alternative A

vovangra [49]
<span>The independent variable is the size of the aquarium and the dependent variable is the size of the fish population. All other variables in this scenario are held constant. Dependent variables are aspects that the researcher deliberately changes to see what will result from the change. If the food, water temperature and cleanliness are the same and the size of the aquariums is different, that makes aquarium size the independent variable.</span>

Special interest group Q receives a 1/10,000th slice of the economic pie. Its net benefit from either an economic growth policy
Olin [163]

Answer:

(A) $500 million

(B) This type of analysis is used to show that Special Interest Groups tend to press the government for TRANSFERS instead of ECONOMIC GROWTH.

Explanation:

1/10,000 of the real GDP is = $50,000

RGDP = 50,000 ÷ 1/10,000

RGDP = 50,000 × 10,000 = $500,000,000

If special interest group Q would have to be indifferent (not care which policy is applied at the given time) between the 2 policies, then the economic growth policy would have to increase the size of the RGDP (the economic pie) by an amount sufficient enough for them to get their net benefit of $50,000.

The RGDP figure above ($500 million) is the amount by which RGDP (real gross domestic product) should grow, if Group Q will still get their net benefit when only the economic growth policy (EGP) is applied.

In this case, the EGP applied in place of the TP (transfer policy) would still fetch Group Q the minimum net benefit of $50,000

(B) This type of analysis is used to show that Special Interest Groups tend to press the government (policy makers and enforcers) for TRANSFERS instead of ECONOMIC GROWTH.
