In economics, the phrase "There is no such thing as a free lunch" means what?

Business
1 answer:
DENIUS [597]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

C) .There are always resources that must be given up to produce and consume the lunch.

Explanation:

The phrase means that in economics, there is nothing that is genuinely free. Every decision has a cost implication that has to be meant by somebody.  In the example of a free lunch,  there is still a cost to be met. Even if a client is not charged for the food, the restaurant owner has to pay for labor and the materials used to prepare the lunch.

The phrase implies that all economic decisions have a cost behind them. Anyone offering anything for free must have a plan of recovering their costs.

otez555 [7]

Answer:

$635,000 and : 34%

Explanation:

Margins of safety is the difference between expected sales and the break-even point.

For Zhao, expected sales are 10,000 units

The break-even points in units = fixed cost/ contribution margin per unit

fixed costs = $429,000

Contribution margin per unit = selling price - variable costs per unit

=$187 -  $122

=$65

break-even point in units = $429,000/$65

break-even point = 6600 units

Margin of safety = 10,000 - 6600 units

=3400 units

In dollars is equal to margin of safety in units x selling price

=3400 x 187

<u>=$635,000</u>

as a percent of expected sales.

=3400/10000 x 100

=0.34 x 10,000

=34%

KatRina [158]

Answer: a rate commensurate with the risk level of the project.

Explanation:

When computing the net present value of the new project, we should note that the cash flows should be discounted using a rate that is commensurate with the risk level of the project.

Since it is a new project and it possesses risks that are unrelated to those of the current firm's product, the risk that pertains to the project level should be used in the discounting to get the net present value.

Midyear on July 31st, the Digby Corporation's balance sheet reported: Total Liabilities of $77.152 million Cash of $6.030 millio
jonny [76]

Answer:

$45.027 million

Explanation:

The accounting equation shows the relationship between the various elements of the balance sheet. These are the assets, liabilities and equity. It is given as

Assets = Liabilities + Equity

The owner's equity is made up of the common stock and retained earnings (which is the net income less dividend paid over the period).

Equity = $125.989 million - $77.152 million

= $48.837  million

Retained earnings = Equity - Common stock

= $48.837  million - $3.810 million

= $45.027 million

Digby Corporation's retained earnings is $45.027 million
