Answer:
The correct answer is option c.
Explanation:
The law of diminishing returns states that as we go on employing additional inputs the return or payoff from each unit of input will become smaller or go on declining. This means that after a certain point the total output will start increasing on a decreasing rate as we go on hiring more inputs.
In other words, the marginal product of inputs will go on declining with each additional unit of input employed. As a result after reaching a certain point, the marginal product starts to decline.
Answer:
2
Explanation:
The company's cash flow from operating activities can be calculated as follows:
$
Net Income 10
Add:depreciation expense 2
Less:changes in accounts receivable (5)
(20-25)
Less:changes in accounts payable (10)
(5-15)
Add:changes in inventory 5
(12-7)

Explanation:
The adjusting entry is as follows
Accrued interest expense Dr $124
To Interest payable $124
(Being the accrued interest expense is recorded)
The computation is shown below:
= Borrowed amount × interest rate × given months ÷ total number of months in a year
= $6,200 × 12% × 2 months ÷ 12 months
= $124
