The market for chewing gum is in equilibrium with a current price of 50 cents per pack and a quantity of 100,000 packs per day.
frez [133]

Answer:

A) an increase in the price of other kinds of candy

Explanation:

If the price of substitute products (other types of candy) increases, then the suppliers of chewing gum can increase their price without the quantity demanded decreasing. If the decrease in the price of chewing gum is smaller than the increase in the price of substitute products, the quantity demanded will increase.

If there was a price increase of the main ingredients used to produce chewing gum, then the supply curve would shift to the left (option B is wrong).

If the workers signed an agreement that lowered their wages, then the supply curve would shift to the right (option C is wrong).

A decrease in the number of young people in the market would decrease the quantity demanded for chewing gum, which in turn would decrease the equilibrium price (option D is wrong).

A decrease in income would also decrease the quantity demanded, which would in turn decrease the equilibrium price (option E is wrong).

A year ago, Phyllis Peterson purchased 100 shares of Fidelity's Contrafund for $50 each. During the year, her total return from
Y_Kistochka [10]

Phyllis' RATE (percentage) of return is 7 percent

<u>Explanation:</u>

Data provided in the question:

Purchase price for each share = $50

Dividend received = $1 per share

worth of shares at the end of year = $52.50

Thus, total return on the share  = dividend received plus worth of sahres at the end of year minus purchase price

= $1 plus $52.50 minus $50 = $3.5

Therfore, rate of return = [ total return on the shares by purchase price ] into 100%

= [$3.5 by $50] inot 100 percent

= 7 percent

hence, the option with 7 percent will be the correct answer.

Lister Corporation has provided the following contribution format income statement. Assume that the following information is wit
g100num [7]

Answer:

(A) $420.00

Explanation:

We know that,

The net income = Sales - variable cost - fixed expense

Since, the sales units are increased by 40 units, so new sales units is 3,040 units

So, the sale per unit equals to

=  Total sales ÷ number of units

= $90,000 ÷ 3,000 units

= $30

So, the new sales

= Sales units × selling price per unit

= $3,040 × $30 = $91,200

The variable cost = Sales units × variable cost per unit

where,

Variable cost per unit =   Total variable cost ÷ number of units

= $58,500 ÷ 3,000 units

= $19.5

So, the new variable cost equals to

= 3,040 units × $19.5

= $59,280

And the fixed expense would remain the same

So, the net income would be equal to

= $91,200 - $59,280 -  $21,-00

= $10,920

The net income given is $10,500

So, the difference equals to

= $10,920 - $10,500

= $420

What is profitability
kkurt [141]

Answer:

Profit, in accounting, is an income distributed to the owner in a profitable market production process (business). Profit is a measure of profitability which is the owner's major interest in the income-formation process of market production. There are several profit measures in common use.

Income formation in market production is always a balance between income generation and income distribution. The income generated is always distributed to the stakeholders of production as economic value within the review period. The profit is the share of income formation the owner is able to keep to themselves in the income distribution process. Profit is one of the major sources of economic well-being because it means incomes and opportunities to develop production. The words "income", "profit" and "earnings" are synonyms in this context.
