Answer and Explanation:
The preparation of the analysis showing whether the old machine should be retained or replaced is presented below:
Particulars Retained equipment Replace equipment Change in the net income
Variable cost $1,560,000 $1,230,000 $330,000
($520,000 × 3 years) ($410,000 × 3 years)
Cost of the new
machine $300,000 -$300,000
Net change $30,000
As we can see the amount comes in positive which reflects that the machine should be replaced
Answer:
<h2>The law of diminishing marginal utility and law of demand explain the decline in water usage by the residents or occupants,in this case.</h2>
Explanation:
- In Microeconomic Theory,the law of diminishing marginal utility basically states that as a rational consumer or buyer consumes additional or one more unit of any product or service,the incremental or additional utility or satisfaction obtained from that per unit consumption or purchase decreases progressively.
- Now,law of diminishing marginal utility has a conceptual connection with law of demand,which denotes the inverse or negative relationship between price of any normal good or service and its consumer demand.It implies that as price of any normal good or service increase,its consumer demand decreases and vise versa.
- Now,observe that according to law of diminishing marginal utility,the additional or incremental consumer utility or satisfaction declines for per unit consumption,which essentially implies that the additional or marginal value of any normal product or service that the consumer is willing to pay decreases as he or she increases the consumption level.
- Therefore,the willingness to pay for any consumer decreases progressively as he or she increases consumption level.This also explains that to increase the consumption level of any buyer or consumer,the product or service price has to decrease and vise versa.
- In this case,as the residents use more units of water,the marginal utility or satisfaction obtained by the residents declines increasingly and so does the value they are willing to pay for more water usage.Now,installation of water meters compels the residents to pay for every unit of water they use and since the marginal utility of water drops with each unit of water usage,the price that the residents are willing to pay also drop for each additional unit of water that they use. In other words,the residents don't want to pay more and thus,they restricted their water usage.Therefore,the water usage also declined following the installation of water meter.
Explanation:
The journal entry to record the uncollectible is shown below:
On December 31
Bad debt expense $800
To Allowance for doubtful debts $800
(Being the bad debt expense is recorded)
The computation is shown below:
= Sales × estimated percentage - credit balance of doubtful accounts
= $280,000 × 0.5% - $600
= $1,400 - $600
= $800
Answer: $1,256
Explanation:
Milo makes 6% on the sales that he makes.
The $75.36 that he made from this sale is therefore 6% of the cost of the item sold.
Assuming the item was x, the cost is;
6% * x = 75.36
x = 75.36/6%
x = $1,256
Answer:
-0.578 and inelastic
Explanation:
The computation of the price elasticity of demand using mid point formula is shown below:
= (change in quantity demanded ÷ average of quantity demanded) ÷ (percentage change in price ÷ average of price)
where,
Change in quantity demanded would be
= Q2 - Q1
= 90,000 - 100,000
= 10,000
And, average of quantity demanded is
= (90,000 + 100,000) ÷ 2
= 95,000
Change in price would be
= P2 - P1
= $12,000 - $10,000
= $2,000 0.1052 0.1818
And, average of price is
= ($10,000 + $12,000) ÷ 2
= $11,000
So, after solving this, the price is -0.578
This reflects the inelastic for diamond rings
