Answer:
1. buy more salads and fewer sandwiches.
Explanation:
As we know that
Therefore
Now the price ratio is
It is probable if you rising marginal utility numbering and reduce denominator marginal utility. If you reduce their intake, the MU of a food item will raise. Such decrease in the composition would make the quantity of the food element scarce. And its usefulness goes up. The Numerator here is sandwich MU. And to increase their marginal utility, you can reduce sandwich consumption.
Salad should need just the reverse. You raise salad intake so the MU reduces. Therefore you have to eat more salads and less chicken sandwiches to maximise the utility. So, salad is replaced by sandwiches for chicken.
Answer:
Anne Mullens committed embezzlement.
Explanation:
Embezzlement is defined as misappropriation of funds by someone with whom funds have been entrusted.
It is a theft as the money does not belong to the perpetrator. The perpetrator is only entrusted with funds.
One of the conditions for embezzlement is an existence of a fiduciary (trust) relationship between parties.
In the given case, Anne Mullens pocketed $57 cash from recorded amount instead of recording 57$ customer's payment via check. Instead she included the customer's check in the money to be taken to bank.
This is embezzlement of funds by Anne.
Answer: C. inefficiently low; inefficiently high
Explanation:
If the cotton farmers are not made to pay for the damage that their pesticides cost then they will maintain production at a relatively high level because their input costs will be relatively low. As a result of this high level of production, the price of the goods will be relatively low as well. The point at which both market equilibrium quantity and price are at in this scenario are considered inefficient because they are not taking into account, the true cost of production being the effects of the pesticides being used.
However, if they are made to pay for this negative externality that they are the cause of, it will increase their production cost and force them to reduce production to keep these costs low. As they reduce production, the market price will increase as supply is less.
Answer: Unilateral contract.
Explanation:
A unilateral contract is a contract in which promise to fulfill a requirement is made only in one direction, when only the offeror makes a promise and the offeree is on the receiving end of the promise. In insurance the insurer is the only one who makes a promise while the insured is the one receiving the offer(and can break from the agreement at any time).The insurer is the offeror while the insured is the offeree.
Answer:
Gain on disposal = $7600
Explanation:
As the machine is sold on 1 April 2024, we first need to update the depreciation expense and charge the depreciation to the date. The depreciation has been charged till 1 December 2023. So, we need to charge the depreciation for three more months.
The formula for depreciation expense under straight line method is,
Depreciation expense per year = (Cost - Salvage value) / Estimated useful life
Depreciation expense per year = (24000 - 0) / 5
Depreciation expense per year = $4800 per year
Depreciation expense for three months = 4800 * 3/12 = $1200
Accumulated depreciation 1 April 2024 = 14400 + 1200 = $15600
To calculate the gain or loss on disposal, we first need to determine the net book value of asset and deduct it from the cash received on disposal.
NBV = Cost - Accumulated depreciation
NBV = 24000 - 15600
NBV = $8400
Gain on disposal = 16000 - 8400
Gain on disposal = $7600
