Answer:

mary

Explanation:

A rational consumer would consume up to the point that marginal benefit equal marginal cost

Mary paid $20. this means that she places a value of $20 on the meal.

Paul paid $10. this means that he places a value of $10 on the meal

The value Mary places is 20, so she places a higher value and she would consume the most

Peter enters free and thus there is no marginal cost attached to this decision. He should consume the least

Return on sales for south drive is lower in year 2 than year 1 what expense is causing this lower?
sergey [27]

The correct answer is d: Interest Expense. The expense that is causing lower profitability is the Interest Expense.

The fee incurred by a business for borrowed cash is known as an interest expense. On the income statement, it is listed as a non-operating expense. It stands for the interest due on all borrowings, including bonds, loans, convertible debt, and credit lines. In essence, it is determined by multiplying the interest rate by the debt's outstanding principal. Instead of the amount of interest paid over the reporting period, interest expense on the income statement shows interest accrued during that time. While interest costs are tax deductible for businesses, they may not be in the case of an individual, depending on their jurisdiction and the purpose of the loan.

Since there are typically lags between interest accruing and interest paid, interest expense frequently appears as a line item on a company's balance sheet.

Comparative income statements for South Drive Company for Year 2 and Year 1 are given below.

................................................Year 2.......................... Year 1

Sales ....................................900,000 .......................500,000

Cost of goods sold ..........(432,000) ......................(240,000)

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

Suppose there is pessimism in an economy because of corporate scandals, international tensions, loss of confidence, etc. This is going to adversely affect the economy. Because of corporate scandals, the investment will decline. Loss of confidence in consumers will cause a reduction in consumption spending. International tensions cause net exports to decline.  

All of this causes aggregate demand to decline. The aggregate demand curve moves to the left. This leftward shift causes both the quantity of output and price to fall. As output fall real GDP will decline as well.
