Answer:

a. $20,000

b. $3,000

Explanation:

The Cost of a Property, Plant and Equipment item includes, Purchase price and any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to operate in the way management intended.

<u>Calculation of the Cost of the Car</u>

Purchase Price                              $19,000

Less Trade Discount                      ($1,000)

Net                                                  $18,000

Add Cost of luxurious interior        $2,000

Total Cost of the Car                    $20,000

<u>Depreciation :</u>

Straight line method of depreciation charges a fixed amount of expense to the Profit and loss during the period of use to reflect recovery of economic benefits.

Depreciation Charge (Straight line method ) = (Cost - Residual Value) / Estimated Useful Life

                                                                         = ($20,000 - $5,000) / 5

                                                                         =  $3,000

Therefore, the depreciation expense each year that the car is in use is $3,000.

1 Pound T-bone:

Selling price ($7.95 per pound) $ 7.95

Joint costs= $3.80

Profit per pound $ 4.15

Further process:

It costs $0.55 to further process one T-bone steak.

6-ounce filet mignon and one 8-ounce New York cut.

The filet mignon can be sold for $12.00 per pound, and the New York cut can be sold for $8.80 per pound.

A) Filet mignon: $12.00 pound

1 ounce= 16 ounce

0.375= 6 ounce

Price= 0.375*12= $4.5

New York cut= $8.80 a pound

Price= 0.5*8.80= $4.4

Sales= 4.5+4.4= $8.9

Costs= 3.80 + 0.55= 4.35

Profit= $4.55

B) It is more profitable to further process the T-bone stake by $0.40.

Your research tells you that households earning $55,000 or more are most likely to be interested in a new shoe store. Households
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

COFFEE SHOPS would have a larger potential customer base.

NEW SHOE STORE is geared toward individuals with more disposable income.

Explanation:

The logic here is quite simple, households earning $25,000 or more are likely to be customers of the coffee shops. This also includes households earning $55,000 or more. So the consumer base of coffee shops is very large.

On the other hand, only households earning $55,000 or more are likely to be customers of the new shoe store. Since there are fewer households that earn $55,000 or more, their consumer base will be smaller and it should rather focus on people with more disposable income.

Even if 90% of the people earn above $55,000 and only 10% earn between $25,000 - $55,000, the consumer base of coffee shops will always be larger since it includes almost everyone.

A business owner makes 50 items a day. She spends 8 hours in producing those items. If hired elsewhere she could have earned $10
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

Option (a) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Explicit costs = $10,000

Here, the implicit cost is the cost of sacrificing money income from job:

= $10 per hour × 8 hours a day × 30 days

= $2,400

Revenues:

= Items produced in a day × Selling price of each × 30 days

= 50 × $10 × 30

= $15,000

Therefore,

Economic profit for the month:

= Revenues - Explicit costs - Implicit cost

= $15,000 - $10,000 - $2,400

= $2,600

A large open economy has desired national saving of Sd = 1200 + 1000rw, and desired national investment of Id = 1000 - 500rw. Th
exis [7]

Answer: 10%

Explanation:

The Equilibrium real interest rate would be the interest rate that equates the Desired savings to the desired investment for both the National and foreign economy.

Desired national saving + Foreign desired national saving = Desired national investment + Foreign desired national investment

1,200 + 1,000rw + 1,300 + 1,000rw = (1,000 - 500rw) + (1,800 - 500rw)

2,500 + 2,000rw = 2,800 - 1,000rw

2,000rw + 1,000rw = 2,800 - 2,500

3,000rw = 300

rw = 0.1

rw = 10%

I think I must first get the marginal cost of the product before i bought if it is worth it to its value, Then i would compute for the marginal benefit to know what would i gain in this product. Lastly I would compare both the marginal cost and marginal percentage if the cost is lower than the benefit then the product is worth it to buy.
