Juanita makes $30 an hour at work. She has to take time off work to purchase her dress, so each hour away from work costs her $3

Phoenix [80]

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.

Vesna [10]

Answer:

$280,950

Explanation:

As for the information given:

Closing balance of investment on 31 December 2015 = $440,000

Now the following adjustments need to be made to calculate the balance as on 1 August 2016

Add: Share of income from Jan to Jul 2016 = $4,000 $\times$ 7 months $\times$ 20% = $5,600

Less: Dividend Received = $20,000 $\times$ 20% = $4,000

Less: Amortization of patent = $6,000/12 $\times$ 7 = $3,500

= $440,000 - $1,900 = $438,100

Since Jabiru sold half of its investment, thus, value of its half of the investment shall be:

$438,100/2 = $219,050

Sale value = $500,000

Thus, gain amount = $500,000 - $219,050 = $280,950
