Answer:

b. $8,800

Explanation:

<u>Alternative 1</u>

Cost of calculators with upgrade = $26,800 + $10,000 = $36,800

Selling Price of Calculators after upgrade =$30,000

Loss on selling after upgrade = $36,800-$30,000 =$6,800 loss

<u>Alternative 2</u>

Selling price of calculators without upgrade = $11,200  

Loss on selling without upgrade = $26,800 - $11,200 = $15,600

Therefor, it is advisable to upgrade the calculators because Tolar Corporation would incur loss of only $6,800 after the upgrade. If it does not upgrade, it will incur a loss of $15,600.

If Tolar Corporation went for the upgrade, it will have a financial advantage of $8,800 ($15,600-$6,800)

The following data are for a series of increasingly extensive flood-control projects.
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

$28,000 and $12,000, respectively

Explanation:

Marginal cost = incremental cost from Plan C to Plan D

= total cost (plan D) - total cost (plan C)

= 72,000 - 44,000 = $28,000

Marginal benefit = incremental benefit from Plan C to Plan D

= total benefit (plan D) - total benefit (plan C)

= 64,000 - 52,000 = $12,000

Therefore marginal cost and benefits for Plan D = $28,000 and $12,000, respectively
