Competition is also considered the basis for capitalist or free market economies.

Competition is desirable when the price charged to individuals equals the marginal cost of production to each firm. In other words, one can say sellers charge buyers a reasonable or fair price.

Competition is undesirable when it leads to a lower output and increased costs. Competition is undesirable in business because you have to prevent new innovative ideas surviving due to firms operating with high research and development costs alongside dominant advertising. In addition fewer incentives to cut costs because of a lack of competitors.

Jose goes to an all-you-can-eat buffet at a Chinese restaurant and consumes three plates of food. He does not go back for a four
kkurt [141]

Answer:

The marginal utility of the fourth plate is zero or below zero

Explanation:

The reason is that the law of diminishing marginal utility says that the marginal utility of a product declines upon continuous consumption of that item. This means that the utility before the consumption of first buffet was high and when the second buffet was consumed by the same person the utility was further reduced and so on. This means that the utility must be positive which if is higher enough then the customer is will to pay and eat the buffet again. If it is zero or below zero the customer is not willing to pay for the buffet. This is the reason the person doesn't ordered the item again.

You can not eat the same buffet for all the 365 days. This means the taste of a tasty food fades away after some time or I would say that the utility is gone. Same is the case when you will keep using cellphone for a period and then sell it or dispose it because the item doesn't entertains you or in other words the utility has significantly fallen and is almost zero or below zero.

Exercise 2-10 Applying Overhead Cost to a Job [LO2-2] Sigma Corporation applies overhead cost to jobs on the basis of direct lab
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

See explanations below.

Explanation:

1. Yes. Overhead should be applied to job W at year-end. Overhead is applied to every jobs whether or not they are completed at year end.

b. To calculate the amount of overhead to be applied to job W, we need to calculate first the overhead application rate based on direct labor cost through job V.

Direct labor cost. $8,000

Overhead applied $6,000

Overhead rate = [ Overhead applied / Direct labor cost ] × 100

= [6,000/8,000] × 100

= 75%

Overhead to be applied to job W

Direct labor cost $4,000

Overhead rate 75%

Overhead to be applied = $3,000

It therefore means that $3,000 should be applied to job W.

2. Because job W was not completed at the year end, it would then be included in the work in process inventory in the financial statements of Sigma Corporation at year end.
