Answer: Option D
Explanation: In simple words, gross profit refers to the amount of revenue that the company is left with after deduction for the expenses that are incurred to make and sell that specific product.
The low pay to supplier means that the company will have a low cost to produce the product which will result in increase in gross profit.
Hence the correct option is D.
Answer:
$15,000
Explanation:
Joe has sold the house he has been living in for 10 years to the Smiths family
He sold the house at $300,000
Joe receives $50,000 more than the original price bargained 10 years ago
He pays the real estate agent a commission of 5%
= 5/100
= 0.05
Therefore the increase in gross domestic product can be calculated as follows
= $300,000×0.05
= $15,000
Hence, the transaction will increase the gross domestic product by $15,000

Answer:
Company A
a. Differential Analysis dated May 29
Alternative 1 Alternative 2
Opportunity cost $250,000 $550,000
Variable production costs 580,000 192,000
Total cost $830,000 $742,000
b. Sunk cost in this situation is: $225,000 ($400,000 - $175,000) cost of the old machine.
Explanation:
Company A's relevant cost for the old machine is the opportunity cost that it will lose if it continues with Alternative 1 or continued use of the old machine and the additional cost for the new machine for Alternative 2. Also relevant is the variable production costs that would be incurred if the old or new machine is used.
Company A's sunk cost is the cost of the old machine minus accumulated depreciation. Sunk cost is not relevant for decision making under differential analysis.
Company A's differential analysis is a managerial tool that is used to differentiate one decision alternative from another. In this analysis, only relevant costs are considered. A relevant cost in this case is cost that its inclusion or elimination makes a difference in the decision outcome.
Answer:
D) All of the above are correct
Explanation:
Many people indeed do not know that price controls produce shortages, and we do not only refer to the general public, but also many politicians, who are ignorant of economic theory.
Property owners are politically unpopular because they are frequently perceived as being more priviliged and not paying their fair share. Populist politicans can use them as scapegoats to rile up support.
Many people benefit from rent controls, from owners colluding to the government, to real estate cartels, to tenants, or the government itself it it holds public housing.
