Answer:
$38,000 loss
Explanation:
For calculation of entry to record the sale of the tractor first we need to determine the total depreciation and net book value on Jan 1, 2018 which is shown below:-
Total depreciation = (Tractor cost - Salvage value) × (Hours in 2016 + Hours in 2017) ÷ Hours of operation
= ($180,000 - $20,000) × (2,400 + 2,100) ÷ 10,000
= $72,000
Net book value on January 1, 2018 = Tractor cost - Total depreciation
= $180,000 - $72,000
= $108,000
Loss on sale = Sold tractor amount - Net book value on January 1, 2018
= $70,000 - $108,000
= $38,000
Answer:
Toby is not maximizing his utility because MUp/Pp > MUc/Pc
Explanation:
given data
marginal utility consuming peanuts = 100 utils per ounce
marginal utility consuming cashews = 200 utils per ounce
peanuts cost = 10 cents per ounce
cashews cost = 25 cents per ounce
solution
we know that Toby will have maximize utility when here
Marginal utility of peanut ÷ price of peanut = Marginal utility of cashew ÷ cash ..........................1
MU (p) ÷ P (p) = MU (c) ÷ P (c)
put here value
but here
10 > 8
so we can say Toby is not maximizing his utility because MUp/Pp > MUc/Pc
Mixed because if everything its mixed up you won't no how much u have of something.
Answer:
B). Response bias
D). The interviewer should reword the question.
Explanation:
Response bias is described as the type of bias in which a variety of tendencies are displayed by the respondents to answer the questions asked in the survey inaccurately or misleadingly. These false responses eventually lead to a false or deceiving conclusion. In the given survey, 'response bias' is displayed as the respondents may display a tendency to answer the question falsely as the feeling of 'patriotism' evoked by the word 'patriotic' may prevent their original opinions to come out. Thus, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer to describe the bias in this survey.
In order to prevent this bias, the interviewer must 'reword the question' and remove the word 'patriotic' as it develops the feeling of patriotism in the respondents which mars them from answering accurately and share their true opinions or thoughts in the regards of 'supporting armed forces.' This rewording will help evoke the true and authentic responses without any bias. Thus, <u>option D</u> is the correct answer to remedy the bias.
