Answer:
Stocks and Bonds
Yes. It is a rational behavior for individuals with a long-term investment horizon to choose to invest in bonds rather than investing in stocks despite the overwhelming "evidence that suggests that over long periods of time stocks still outperform bonds."
Rational behavior involves making rational choices that provide optimal levels of benefit or utility for the individual. People who make rational choices would rather choose bonds with lower risks and returns than stocks with higher risks and returns.
Explanation:
Every rational investor would prefer to reduce her risk exposure instead of increasing it. Every investor is also aware that investments with higher risks attract higher returns. However, determining the certainty of the returns is difficult.
The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question
Suppose the demand for Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) is given by Q = 250 - .25p + 4pc, where Q is the quantity of DVRs demanded (in 1000s), p is the price of a DVR, and pc is the price of cable television. How much does the quantity demanded for DVRs change if the p rises by $40? A) drops by 10,000 DVRs B) increases by 16,000 DVRs C) drops by 2,500 DVRs D) increases by 4,000
Answer:
Drops by 10,000 DVRs
Explanation:
The demand for digital video recorders is expressed by
Q= 250- .25p+4pc
Where
Q represents the quantity demanded by the customers
P represents the price of DVR
pc represents the price of cable television
Since the factor of p in the expression above is negative, this implies that the quantity of DVR demanded in the market will reduce
If the price of DVR increase by $40, then the quantity demanded will reduce by
= 0.25×40×1000
= 10×1000
= 10,000 units
Hence the quantity of DVRs drops by 10,000 DVRs if the price is increased to $40
Answer:
Gunst should produce 500 Bio-mutant games:
- total contribution margin = $71 x 500 = $35,500
Explanation:
Android Bio-mutant Cyclops
selling price $100 $107 $125
labor $48 $24 $60
direct materials $9 $8 $16
variable overhead $7 $4 $9
contribution margin $36 $71 $40
labor hours 4 2 5
Bio-mutant generates by far the largest contribution margin and requires the least direct labor hours.
Gunst should produce 500 Bio-mutant games:
- total revenue = $107 x 500 = $53,500
- total contribution margin = $71 x 500 = $35,500
If it produces 250 Android games its total contribution margin will = $9,000
If it produces 200 Cyclops games its total contribution margin will = $8,000

Describe the accounting treatment of Supplies Expenses.
Answer:
Supplies Expenses are debited while the Supplies account is credited with the supplies expenses.
Explanation:
This accounting treatment of Supplies Expenses reduces the balance of the Supplies account by the amount of supplies used during the period. Thus, what is left in the Supplies account is the cost of the unused supplies at the end of the accounting period. The treatment also accords with the accrual concept, which requires that expenses are matched to the revenues that they generate in the period.
