<span>Price elasticity of demand is -1.25 =  Ed</span>

Price elasticity of supply = Es

Share of tax by consumers = 0.80 = Es / (Ed + Es) = Es / Es + 1.25

0.8 Es + 1 = Es

1 / 0.2 = Es = 5

Therefore, the price elasticity of supply is 5

vredina [299]

Answer:

Bay City Company

Flexible Budget Performance Report:

                                         Flexible Budget    Actual Results    Variances

Sales (in units)                            4,900                4,900

Sales (in dollars)                  $392,000          $431,200        $39,200 F

Total expenses:

Variable expenses                245,000           276,000           31,200 U

Fixed expenses                     140,000            130,000            10,000 F

Total expenses                     385,000           406,000            21,200 U

Income from operations        $7,000           $25,200          $18,200 U

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Variable expenses = $300,000

Fixed expenses =      $140,000

Budgeted total expenses = $440,000

Actual expenses:

Fixed expenses = $130,000

                                         Fixed Budget    Actual Results    Variances

Sales (in units)                            6,000                4,900

Sales (in dollars)                  $480,000          $431,200        $48,800 U

Total expenses                     440,000           406,000           34,000 F

Income from operations      $40,000           $25,200         $14,800 U

Flexing the budgets:

Sales revenue = $392,000 ($480,000/6,000 * 4,900)

Variable expenses = $245,000 ($300,000/6,000 * $4,900)

Actual variable expenses = $276,000 ($406,000 - $130,000)

A company has only two divisions: division a and division
Sloan [31]

Answer – Division A

 

EXPLANATION’

 

Given for last year,

Division A made 60% of the company's total revenue.

Let the company’s total revenue for last year be x

60% of x = 0.6x

Division A made 0.6x last year

 

Also given for last year,

Division B made 40% of the company's total revenue.

If the company’s total revenue for last year is x

40% of x = 0.4x

Division B made 0.4x last year

 

For this year,

We are told that division A's revenue has decreased by 35%

Last year’s revenue was 0.6x

Division A’s revenue for this year = 0.6x – (35% of 0.6x)

= (100% of 0.6x) – (35% of 0.6x)

= (100% * 0.6x) – (35% * 0.6x)

= (100% - 35%) * 0.6x

= 65% * 0.6x

= 65/100 * 0.6x

= 0.39x

Therefore this year, Division A’s revenue is 0.39x

 

Again for this year,

We are told that division B's revenue has decreased by 5%

Last year’s revenue was 0.4x

Division B’s revenue for this year = 0.4x – (5% of 0.4x)

= (100% of 0.4x) – (5% of 0.6x)

= (100% * 0.4x) – (5% * 0.4x)

= (100% - 5%) * 0.4x

= 95% * 0.4x

= 0.38x

Therefore this year, Division B’s revenue is 0.38x

 

If Division A’s revenue is 0.39x, and Division B’s revenue is 0.38x; then Division A had higher revenue this year.

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The theory of constraints focuses on establishing the most important limiting factor or constraint in a business and improve it in order to improve the whole company's performance.

In simple terms, a company recognizes their greatest weakness and tries to improve it, so that it no longer represents a limitation.

This theory was originally developed for manufacturing companies, and it was meant to reduce bottlenecks (manufacturing constraints). Therefore one of its main goals is to lower inventory levels and operating costs while increasing production output.
