Demand is how much that thing is needed by people and quantity is how much of one thing they have. Hope that makes sense.
Example: The demand of milk has risen, so has the price.
Example: Having five jugs of milk is a large quantity.
Answer:
Bond Price = $580.2640476 rounded off to $580.26
Explanation:
A zero coupon bond is a kind of bond that does not pay interest to the bond holder like other bonds. Instead it is offered at a discount price and pays the par value at maturity. The discount price is calculated using a certain rate which can also be called the implied interest rate on this zero coupon bond. The formula to calculate the price of the zero coupon bond is,
Bond Price = Par Value / (1 + r)^t
Where,
- r is the interest rate or the discount rate
- t is the number of periods to maturity
Bond Price = 1000 / (1+0.115)^5
Bond Price = $580.2640476 rounded off to $580.26
Answer:
Total cost= $9395
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The company has two departments: Assembly and Sanding.
The Assembly Department:
Departmental overhead rate of $35 per machine hour.
The Sanding Department:
Departmental overhead rate of $20 per direct labor hour.
Job 603:
Direct labor hours used 85
Machine hours used 107
The cost of direct labor is $30 per hour
Direct materials used= $1,400.
Total cost= direct materials + direct labor + manufacturing overhead
Total cost= 1400 + $30*85 + [(107*$35)+(85*$20)]
Total cost= 1400 + 2550 + 5445
Total cost= $9395
Answer:
Katie Kwasi's Utility Function
The units of x1 that she will consume after the change in income is:
= 40 units of x1
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Katie Kwasi’s utility function, U(x1, x2) = 2(ln x1) + x2
Current consumption = 10 units of x1 and 15 units of x2
When her income doubles, with prices staying constant, Katie will consume:
= 2(2 * 10 of x1) + 15 of x2
= 40 units of x1 + 15 units of x2
Therefore, she will consume 40 units of x1 and 15 units of x2
b) The above function expresses mathematically Katie's utility to be a function of the units of x1 and x2 that she can consume, given her income constraint. If her income doubles, Katie will consume double units of x1 and the same units of x2 as she was consuming before the change in income.
Answer:
Natural monopoly
Explanation:
A natural monopoly refers to a type of monopoly that occurs when the start-up costs or infrastructural costs are high or economies of scale in an industry are very powerful in such a way that only the largest supplier in the industry which is usually the first supplier in the market has a great advantage over potential competitors and therefore becomes the only supplier in the industry.
On the long-run average cost (LRAC) curve, a natural monopoly exists when the quantity demanded is less than the minimum quantity that is required to be at the bottom of the LRAC curve.
Therefore, a <u>natural monopoly</u> exists when the quantity demanded in the market is less than the quantity at the bottom of the long-run average cost curve.
