Answer:

1. PES for pancakes is 2.45

2. Supply in the market for motorcycles is  less elastic than supply in the market for pancakes.

Explanation:

Hi :)

I feel like part of the question is missing but i was able to find it elsewhere and show you:

1. How to calculate PES using mid-point formula

2. PES for both motorcycles and pancakes

3. Which is more elastic

...

Price elasticity of supply is the responsiveness of quantity supplied to a change in price. it is calculated by dividing the % change in quantity supplied by the % change in price. Generally, it can be of two types:

Price Elastic: Change in quantity supplied is higher than change in price. PES > 1

Price Inelastic: Change in quantity supplied is lower than change in price. PES < 1

When calculated using the mid-point formula, this is the formula used:

<u>(Q2 - Q1) / [(Q2 + Q1)/2]  </u>

(P2 - P1) / [(P2 + P1)/2]

1. We will now substitute the actual values of pancakes in place after identifying them from the question:

Equilibrium Quantity - 27 (Q1)

New Quantity - 109 (Q2)

Equilibrium Price - $6.50 (P1)

New Price - $10.75 (P2)

<u>(109 - 27) / [(109 + 27)/2] </u>

(10.75 - 6.50) / [(10.75 + 6.50)/2]

<u>1.21 </u>

0.493

Therefore, PES for pancakes is 2.45 (approx. two decimal places) suggesting it is price elastic.

2. In order to check whether motorcycles or pancakes are more elastic, we calculate the PES of motorcycles using the same method:

Equilibrium Quantity - 27 (Q1)

New Quantity - 61 (Q2)

Equilibrium Price - $6.50 (P1)

New Price - $10.75 (P2)

<u>(61 - 27) / [(61 + 27)/2] </u>

(10.75 - 6.50) / [(10.75 + 6.50)/2]

<u>0.77 </u>

0.493

Therefore, PES for motorcycles is 1.56 (approx. two decimal places) suggesting it is price elastic. However, it is less price elastic than PES for pancakes.

One reason for this could be production time. Pancakes can be produced much faster than motorcycles. Therefore, it is more flexible to price changes.

When there are many producers and many consumers in an​ economy, the best way to achieve an efficient allocation of resources is
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

C. freely operating economy in which all markets are perfectly competitive.

Explanation:

When we have a lot of producers and many consumers in an economy, the best way to achieve an efficient allocation of resources is to have a freely operating economy in which all markets are perfectly competitive.

  • In such a free economy, demand for goods and services are not controlled.
  • The consumers behavior towards purchasing will determine if producers should allocate more resources to a production process or not.
  • It is better to make such market competitive without interfering into how resources are managed and dispensed.

diamong [38]

Answer:

$3,225

Explanation:

The computation of the amount reported as an ending inventory is shown below:

Date Particulars Units   Cost Amount                

1 -1        Op Balance     1,000         $1            $1,000  

1 -7         Purchases      600          $3             $1,800

Total                              1,600    $1.75         $2,800  

                                              ($2,800 ÷ 1,600 units)  

1 -20 COGS           900      $1.75            $1,575

Total                              700     $1.75            $1,225

1 -25       Purchases     400     $5                 $2,000

Ending inventory         1,100    $2.9318       $3,225

                                                  ($3,225 ÷ 1,100 units)  

We simply added the purchase units with the opening balance and deduct the cost of goods sold units from the opening balance so that the correct ending inventory amount could arrive

lord [1]
<span>The success of the glucose-averse cockroaches in their new environment depends on the future use of glucose-baited poison in the apartment. If glucose-baited poison is not used, it is likely that the resident cockroaches will outcompete the new cockroaches, as the resident cockroaches will not exclude glucose-containing foods from their diet. However, the use of glucose-containing poison in the apartment will provide the new cockroaches a distinct selective advantage, as they will survive to reproduce, whereas the majority of the resident cockroaches will die.</span>
