Answer:the precognitive fallacy

Explanation:Precognition is also referred to as future vision in which an individual may claim to have seen the event of the future , mostly these are people who say they have psychic ability.

This kind of prediction isn't based on any scientific evidence.

Historically , people have always believed in precognition but scientists believe it actual goes against the principle of causality which state that for an effect to happen there must be a cause first.

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

False

The diamond-water paradox is illustrated by stating that the marginal benefit of the services provided by doctors and nurses is relatively lower than the marginal benefit of the services provided by major film stars.  This implies that the supply of doctors and nurses is larger than the demand while the demand for major film stars is larger than the supply.

Explanation:

The marginal utility derived by film consumers from major film stars is higher than the marginal utility derived by patients from doctors and nurses. This is because consumers of the services of major film stars are willing to pay more for the services than consumers of the services of doctors and nurses. Though health is more crucial to life than films, but consumers place more utility value on films than they do on their health, especially after attaining the basic sound health. This actually explains the diamond water paradox, where consumers value diamond and are willing to pay more for diamond than they are willing to pay for life-sustaining water. In a layman's language, people are more willing to value the satisfaction they derive from one more additional film than they are to value the satisfaction they derive from additional healthcare. That means that people only care for the basic in healthcare. But, they can stake more to acquire more diamond.

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

Price elasticity of demand for Adam=0

Price elasticity of demand for Barb=1

Answer:

a. Statement of cost of goods manufactured.

                                                                        $                           $

Beginning work-in-process inventory                                   13,040

Raw Materials :

Beginning materials inventory                    46,800

Add Purchases of raw materials               320,000

Available for Production                            366,800

Ending materials inventory                         (66,800)         300,000

Direct labor                                                                         200,000

Indirect labor                                                                         40,000

Rent, factory building                                                           42,000

Depreciation, factory equipment                                        60,000

Utilities, factory                                                                       11,900

Ending work-in-process inventory                                      (14,940)

Cost of goods manufactured                                            652,000

b. Average cost of producing one unit of product in the year.

Average cost = Total Cost ÷ Total units produced

                      = $652,000 ÷ 4,000

                      = $163.00

c. Prepare an income statement for external users.

                                                                                             $

Sales (3,800 ×  $400)                                                  1,520,000

Less Cost of Goods Sold ($163.00 × 3,800)                (619,400)

Gross Profit                                                                    900,600

General administration                                                 (300,000)

Net Income / (Loss)                                                        330,600

Explanation:

<u>Determination of  leather recliners sold during the year.</u>

Units Sold = Opening Finished Inventory  + Units Produced - Ending Finished Inventory

                 = 500 + 4,000 - 700

                 = 3,800

Other Notes :

Include only manufacturing costs in the statement of goods manufactured.

External users would want to see an income statement prepared using an absorption costing system in line with financial reporting standards.
