Answer: 6.67%
Explanation:
Return on Investment is calculated by dividing Income from operations by average total assets.
Average Total Assets = (Beginning Value + Closing Value) / 2
= (2,700,000 + 3,300,000 )/2
= 6,000,000/2
= $3,000,000
Return on Investment = Income from operations/ Average Total Assets
Return on Investment = 200,000/3,000,000
Return on Investment = 0.06667
= 6.67%
The opportunity costs of building this bridge could be from people coming into the town and making purchases within the town.

Answer:
- The richest quintile has the ability to save a larger percentage of its income.
- Individuals experiencing temporary fluctuations in their incomes are more likely to maintain moderate spending habits.
Explanation:
First part of this question reads:
In the United States, the richest quintile of the population receives 13 times as much income as the poorest quintile. However, the richest quintile only spends 4 times as much as the poorest quintile.
The richest quantile can afford to save more than the poorest quantile because they get enough income to manage their daily needs and then save. The poorest quantile on the other hand face a daily struggle and so have to spend all or most of their income to survive.
When the richer quantile goes through temporary fluctuations, they maintain moderate spending because they know it is temporary and so they keep saving. This is not the case for the poorer quantiles who have to spend according to their income - regardless of its fluctuating - to survive.
Answer:
(a) $2.80; 3.40
(b) $1,400,000; $1,700,000
Explanation:
(a) Standards are stated as a per unit amount.
Therefore,
standard materials:
= Total estimated cost for materials ÷ Estimated production of Product X
= $1,400,000 ÷ 500,000
= $2.80
Standard labor:
= = Total estimated cost for labor ÷ Estimated production of Product X
= $1,700,000 ÷ 500,000
= $3.40
(b) Budgets are stated as a total amount.
Thus, the budgeted costs for the year are materials $1,400,000 and labor $1,700,000.
