Answer:
Juanita should purchase the suit at the store across town because the total economic cost will be lowest.
Explanation:
three options:
-
local store 15 minutes away and a price of $114
- across town 30 minutes away and a price of $86
- neighboring city 1 hour away and a price of $60
Juanita makes $30 per hour at her work, and her purchase decision includes the opportunity cost of lost wages:
total economic cost:
-
local store = $114 + [1/4 hours x 2 (round trip) x $30] + (1/2 hours x $30 spent shopping) = $144
- across town = $86 + [1/2 hours x 2 (round trip) x $30] + (1/2 hours x $30 spent shopping) = $131
- neighboring city = $60 + [1 hour x 2 (round trip) x $30] + (1/2 hours x $30 spent shopping) = $135
Juanita should purchase the skirt at the store across town because the total economic cost will be lowest ($131)
Opportunity costs are the benefits lost or extra costs incurred for choosing one activity or investment over another alternative. Economic costs include both accounting costs and opportunity costs.

Answer:
The Journal entries are as follows:
(1)
Equipment A/c Dr. $71,890
To cash $3,790
To accounts payable $68,100
(To record the purchase of equipment)
Workings:
Equipment value:
= Purchase price + Sales tax + Freight charges for shipment of equipment + Installation of equipment
= 64,000 +4,100 + 890 + 2,900
= $71,890
Cash Paid:
= Freight charges for shipment of equipment + Installation of equipment
= 890 + 2,900
= $3,790
Accounts payable = Purchase price + Sales tax
= 64,000 +4,100
= $68,100
(2)
Prepaid Insurance A/c Dr. $1,090
To cash A/c $1,090
