Answer: D. 500

Explanation:

The Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) refers to an efficient number of units that a company should order to minimize the total costs of inventory such as holding costs, order costs, and shortage costs.

It is calculated by the formula below,

EOQ = √ (2 * Annual demand * Ordering Cost / Holding Cost)

EOQ = √ (2 * 5,000 * 250 /10)

EOQ = 500 units.

The economic ordering quantity (EOQ) for this item is 500 units.

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. Credits decrease assets and increase liabilities.

Explanation:

A credit is a provision of money in the form of a loan, granted by a creditor (lender) to a debtor (borrower). For the creditor, the transaction gives rise to a claim on the borrower, under which he can obtain repayment of the funds and payment of remuneration (interest) according to a fixed schedule. For the borrower, whether it is a business or an individual, the credit establishes the existence of a debt (increasing liabilities) and opens the availability of a temporary financial resource.

In 1-2 sentences, explain why scarcity exists.
prohojiy [21]
Scarcity refers to a state of being in short supply.

Scarcity exists because distribution of resources is unequal. Majority of the people tend to get more than they need in preparation for future uses. They did not take into consideration that other people also need the items they have stocked up on. This results to unequal distribution of resources. Those who had first access to the goods have more than they need while those who came last have goods that is not enough to sustain their needs. They are the ones experiencing scarcity.

ladessa [460]

Answer:

Persists because economic wants exceed available productive resources.

Explanation:

According to Lionel Robbins, Economics is the science which studies human behavior as a relationship between ends and scarce means which have alternative uses.

The problem of scarcity is that our wants are always beyond what we can produce with our resources.

Economics is the solution to this problem of what resources to use, how best to use them, and when to use them.  

Because of this scarcity, all people have to make choices. When making choices, we assess the opportunity cost or the alternative forgone.

The opportunity cost of taking action is what we could have got if we had taken an alternative action.
