The answer is Inelastic.

Given,

the price of gasoline across Brevard County gas stations increases by 8%.

the quantity of gasoline purchased by Brevard County residents decreases by 2%.

The change in quantity demanded of a good or service when divided by the price change in percentage form the price elasticity of demand.

Price elasticity of demand = Percentage change in quantity demanded of gasoline ÷ Percentage change in the price of gasoline

Now, substituting the value in the above formula we get,

Price elasticity of demand = 2% ÷ 8%

                                           = 0.25

Since the price elasticity for gasoline is less than 1 gasoline is inelastic in demand.

Hence, If the price of gasoline across Brevard County gas stations increases by 8% but the quantity of gasoline purchased by Brevard County residents decreases by 2%, then the demand for gasoline is inelastic.

What should you plan for first when creating a budget
alexira [117]

Answer:

CALCULATE EXPENSES

Your first order of business is finding out exactly how much you’re spending each month. Do this by consulting your bank statements, receipts and financial files. Because some expenses are intermittent, such as insurance payments, you’ll get the most accurate financial picture if you calculate an average for six months to a year. Add up everything you spent for the last six to 12 months and then divide by the amount of months, which will give you your average monthly expenses.

Remember that being thorough when you add up expenses is important in creating a realistic budget. A forgotten bill really throws a wrench into your savings plan. When calculating your expenses, also factor in unexpected bills, such as unplanned car repairs. A good rule of thumb is to add an extra 10 percent to 15 percent. So if you’ve determined that you spend $1,500 a month, add $150 to $225.

Television channel operating profits vary from as high as 45 to 55 percent at MTV and Nickelodeon down to 12 to 18 percent at NB
Xelga [282]

Answer:

Explanation:

MTV and cable channels can have higher operating profits largely because they have lower costs and can reach very specific demographic groups quite easily. MTV and Nickleodeon are typically not paying high and uncertain prices for their shows. They air mainly reruns of proven shows or relatively low-cost reality shows. This means that they have more cost certainty.

In addition, they have very clear target audiences where the networks do not. MTV is clearly aimed at teens and young adults while Nickleodeon is a kids' channel. Advertisers are attracted to channels with such clear demographics.

As far as Porter's five forces go, the most likely reason for the higher cable profits would have to do with brand equity and the lower propensity among buyers to substitute.

These would mean that cable channels have a lower threat of new competition and a lower threat of substitute products. It is true that it is easy for a new cable channel to be created, but it is much harder for such a channel to get the name recognition and brand equity that MTV and Nickleodeon have.

In the short run, an increase in the aggregate price level caused by a shift in the aggregate demand curve first causes:
ra1l [238]

Answer: b. movement along SRAS

Explanation:

When the price level changes due to an increase in the demand that forces the Aggregate demand curve to shift rightward, the immediate effect would be that the Aggregate demand curve would intersect the Short Run Aggregate supply at a new point.

This new point will see a movement <em>along </em>the SRAS from its previous equilibrium point to the new equilibrium intersection point with the AD curve. In other words, the new point will be on the same SRAS curve just moving from one point to another.

DIFFERENTIAL ANALYSIS

Reject (Alternative 1) Accept (Alternative 2) Differential effect Income (Alternative 2)

Revenues $0 $1,613,850 $1,613,850

(21,000 tires × $76.85 per tire)

Direct materials 0 –$1,134,000 $1,134,000

(21,000 tires × $54 per tire)

Direct labor 0 –$504,000 $504,000

(21,000 tires × 24 per tire)

Variable factory overhead 0 –$312,480 $312,480

[21,000 tires × ($24 per tire × 62%)]

Variable selling and admin.

expenses 0 –$152,880 $152,880

21,000 tires × [(25 per tire × 44%) – ($93 × 4%)]

Shipping costs 0 –$160,650 $160,650

(21,000 tires × $7.65 per tire)

Certification costs 0 –$165,424 –$165,424

Income (Loss) $0 -$815,584 -$815,584

B. Based on the above Differentials analysis Brightstone should REJECT the special order from Euro Motors.

C. Calculation to determine minimum price per unit that would be financially acceptable to Brightstone

Minimum price per unit =$76.85-(-$815,584/21,000)

Minimum price per unit =$76.85-(-$38.84)

Minimum price per unit=$115.69

Therefore minimum price per unit that would be financially acceptable to Brightstone is $115.69
