Answer:
e. price elasticities of demand for apples and oranges are the same over these price ranges
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price.
Price elasticity = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
Percentage change in price = (50-40) / 50 = 0.2 × 100 = 20%
Percentage change in quantity demanded of Apples = (120 - 100) / 100 = 0.2 × 100 =
20%
Percentage change in quantity demanded of oranges = (240 - 200) / 200 = 0.2 × 100 = 20%
Price elasticity of demand for oranges = 20% / 20% = 1
Price elasticity of demand for Apples = 20% / 20% = 1
When coefficient of elasticity is equal than one, elasticity of demand is unit elastic.
This implies that the elasticity of demand for Apples and oranges are the same. A change in the price of oranges and apples would lead to the same proportional change for each of the demand for Apples and oranges.

2.24. if you round 5.0176 down it is 5.
Answer:
D. have separate cost allocation rates for each activity identified by the company CORRECT
There will be activity cost pool which, will be distribute among the product using different cost driver like machien hours, direct labor hours or other.
Explanation:
A. have the same cost allocation system as plantwide and departmental cost allocation systems
NO If it was, then it would not have a different name
B. have no cost allocation rates for each activity identified by the company
If we don't have rates to distrubte cost then, the allocation will be arbitrary
C. have combined cost allocation rates for each activity identified by the company
each should have different base cost driver if not, then they aren't different and should be combined.
Answer:
(a) $ 1200
(b) $ 702.5
Explanation:
In the demand and supply curve, the price of goods and services changes with respect to market conditions such as scarcity and consumers' needs. In the problem, if the producers charge about $497.50, the scalper will definitely charge a price higher than that of the producers, in this case, $1200. Thus, this is $702.5 (i.e. $1200 - $497.50) more than the producers' charge.
Answer:
The maximum that should be paid for the stock today is $30.23.
Explanation:
The total return on a stock is made up of dividend received on the stock plus the capital gain received from selling the stock. The holding period is one year that means a 10% return on the amount invested in required for one year. We need to calculate the present value of the total of selling price plus the dividend to calculate the price of the stock today. As 10% return is required, the discount rate is also 10%.
PV = (1.25 + 32) / 1.1
PV = 30.227 rounded off to 30.23
