Answer:
Diminishing Marginal Returns occur when increasing one unit of production, whilst holding other factors constant – results in lower levels of output. In other words, production starts to become less efficient. For example, a worker may produce 100 units per hour for 40 hours.

Answer and Explanation:
The journal entry to record the issuance of the bond is as follows:
Cash Dr (5,000 × 103) $515,000
Discount on bond payable Dr $4,485,000
To Bond payable (5,000 × $1,000) $5,000,000
(Being the issuance of the bond is recorded)
Here cash and discount on bond payable is debited and credited the bond payable
Answer:
Real GDP will decrease by $50 billion.
Explanation:
In order to calculate the net effect of a reduction in consumption of $10 billion, we need to identify the multiplier first.
Multiplier = 1 / marginal propensity to save
Marginal propensity = 1 - marginal propensity to consume = 1-0.8 = 0.2
Multiplier = 1 /0.2 = 5
The net change then of a reduction by 10 billion = 10 * 5 = $50 billion
Hope that helps.
Answer:
$480
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Machine Hours Repair Costs
2,400 $6,385
1,200 $3,480
2,000 $5,285
3,400 $8,980
Now,
Machine Hours Repair Costs
Highest 3,400 $8,980
Lowest 1,200 $3,480
Difference 2,200 $5,500
Unit variable cost = $5,500 ÷ 2,200
= $2.5
Total cost at high level = $8,980
Machine hours highest level = 3,400
Also,
Total cost at high level = Fixed cost + Variable cost at highest level
or
$8,980 = Fixed cost + [ $2.5 × 3,400 ]
or
Fixed cost = $8,980 - [ $2.5 × 3,400 ]
= $8,980 - $8,500
= $480
Answer:
The correct answer is E.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Forrester Company is considering buying new equipment that would increase monthly fixed costs from $276,000 to $544,500 and would decrease the current variable costs of $60 by $15 per unit. The selling price of $100 is not expected to change.
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 544,500/ [(100-45)/100]
Break-even point (dollars)= $990,000
