Answer: it would be too large of an unnecessary expense

There are different resources or factors of production needed by the company. Human capital and physical capital like faster computers are some of them. Buying new computers for all workers will really increase productivity but it would be too large of an unnecessary expense if their specific jobs do not require them and also computers become obsolete in 3 years time.

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

Find the multiple choices below:

A) 133,900

B) 82,400

C) 123,803

D) 79,323

The correct option is D,79,323

Explanation:

The liability to be reported can be ascertained by using the pv formula in excel.

The pv implies present value of future cash flows of $11,300 every three months.

The applicable formula is :=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)

the rate is quarterly rate of 12%/4=3%

nper is the number of times the $11,300 would be paid 2*4=8 times

pmt is the quarterly payment of $11,300

fv is the future value which is unknown and taken as zero

=-pv(3%,8,-11,300,0)

pv=$79,322.52  

This is the liability that would be shown on the balance sheet after the initial payment of $56,500

amid [387]

Answer:

The correct answer is it becomes variable cost.

Explanation:

In the short run there are fixed costs and variable costs which sum up the total costs incurred. This is because in short run not all factors are variable, some factors are fixed as well. So, expenses on fixed factors come under fixed and those on variable factors come under variable costs.

In the long run though, all the factors are variable. All factors can be changed. So there are no fixed costs in the long run run. All the costs incurred on all factors become variable costs.
