Humans have populated regions in which the geomorphic settings pose hazards for construction and engineering projects. Discuss the extent to which the potential hazards are caused by intrinsic versus extrinsic thresholds. Build your discussion around comparing and contrasting humid, semi- arid, glaciated, and periglacial environments.

   1. Double brick cavity wall;
   2. Brick veneer; and
   3. Concrete blocks

How would you describe to your team members the impact of governance on managing an individual project and why is the approach important to today’s business environment?

If rates were to suddenly fall by 2 percent instead of rising, what would be the percentage change in the price of Bond Sam and Bond Dave? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

The Evangelical Private School follows FASB standards of accounting and reporting.

1. Cash contributions were received as follows: (a) $1,113,000 for any purpose desired by the school, (b) $305,000 for salary supplements for school faculty, (c) $421,000 to be used during the next fiscal year in any manner desired by the school, (d) $610,000 for the construction of a new auditorium, and (e) $408,000 to be invested permanently, with the income to be used as desired by the school. The school’s policy is to record all restricted gifts as temporarily restricted and then reclassify when the restriction is lifted.

2. The school expended $400,000 of the $1,113,000 mentioned in 1(a) for school furniture. Record the plant as unrestricted.

3. The school expended $284,500 for salary supplements as directed by the donor in 1(b).

4. The $421,000 in 1(c) was retained for use next year, as directed by the donor.

5. $790,000 was expended for the construction of the new auditorium. School policy is to record all plant as unrestricted.

6. The $408,000 mentioned in 1(e) was invested permanently, as directed by the donor, and in the year ended June 30, 2017, the school received interest of $19,380, none of which was expended.

Required:

g. Record the entry for payment salary.

h. Record the entry for expiration of program restrictions.

i. Record $421,000 that will be reclassified at the beginning of next year as the expiration of time restrictions.

j. Record $790,000 that was expended for the construction of the new auditorium.

k. Record the entry for expiration of fixed asset acquisition restrictions.

l. Record the entry for cash investments.

m. Record the entry for receipt of interest income.

25. What is an opportunity cost? Incremental cost? Sunk cost? Out-of-pocket cost? Relevant Cost? Irrelevant cost?

26. How are costs calculated and prices set under the total cost method?

27. What is meant by sales mix?

M6 In the short run, a firm should expand the use of a variable input until a. Its marginal product is zero. b. Its marginal revenue product is zero. c. Its marginal revenue product is at a maximum. d. Its marginal revenue product equals the input’s marginal cost. e. None of the above answers is correct. M7 Firm X sells output at P = $4 per unit and pays labor a wage of $20 per hour. The marginal product of labor is given by: MPL = 30 - .1L. The profit-maximizing quantity of labor is: a. L = 100 hours. b. L = 180 hours. c. L = 250 hours. d. L = 300 hours. e. L = 320 hours. M8 In the long run, do firms face trade-offs in how they produce? f. No, they have fully adjusted to all relevant factors; there are no more trade-offs. g. No, their options to modify production are limited. h. Yes, but the trade-offs only involve fixed inputs. i. Yes, because they have the maximum flexibility to trade off inputs. j. Yes, but only when there is a major change in technology. M9 In the long run, the firm produces a given level of output at least cost by a. Equating the ratios of marginal products to input prices across all inputs. b. Ensuring equality of marginal products across inputs. c. Using a greater proportion of the cheaper input. d. Intensively applying more and more labor to its fixed plant. e. None of these answers is correct. M10: Which of the following is likely to be a cause of increasing returns to scale? a. A change to production methods not feasible at low levels of output. b. Increased specialization of labor. c. A one-time fall in labor costs. d. Answers a and b are both correct. e. Answers a, b, and c are all correct. M11 Under constant returns to scale, a. A given percentage change in one input implies an equal change in total output. b. A given percentage change in all inputs implies constant marginal products for all inputs. c. A given percentage change in all inputs causes an equal percentage change in output. d. The production function varies linearly with all inputs. e. A constant level of output is achieved with various combinations of inputs. M12 In the long-run, a profit-maximizing firm produces such that a. The marginal products of all inputs are zero. b. The ratios of marginal products to input prices are equal across all inputs. c. Each input’s marginal revenue product equals the input’s marginal cost. d. Marginal products are equal for all inputs. e. Both b and c are correct. M13 The slope of an isoquant is referred to as the a. Marginal efficiency of production. b. Marginal product of each input. c. Marginal rate of technical substitution. d. Marginal rate of factor efficiency. e. Ratio of input prices.
