No, because consumers equate quality of batteries with higher prices. With batteries consumers believe there is a price- quality relationship, it does not make the consumers, price insensitive. Also, there is no indication Energizer set a target price and adjusted cost and quality components to maintain wholesaler and retailer margins.

The Converting Department of Worley Company had 2,400 units in work in process at the beginning of the period, which were 35% co
irinina [24]

Answer:

Equivalent units

Materials    = 12,700 units

Conversion cost =  11,940 units

Explanation:

<em>Equivalent Units E.U) are notional whole units which represent incomplete work and are used to apportion costs between between work in progress and completed work.</em>

<em>Equivalent Units = Degree of completion (%) × units</em>

<em>We will use the weighted average method</em>

<em>Weighted average method</em>

<em>The weighted average method of valuation of work in progress does not separate opening work-in progress from the newly introduced.</em>

<em>Using the weighted average method</em>

<em />

<em>Equivalent unit for material cost</em>

Since direct materials are added at the the beginning of the production process the equivalent unit of direct material

EU = (100% × 10,800) + (100% ×1900) = 12700

<em>Note that 100% represent the degree of completion.</em>

<em />

Equivalent unit for conversion cost

<em>Item                                                   Equivalent unit</em>

Transferred out         100%× 10,800 = 10,800

Closing inventory     60%  ×1900 =     <u>  1140</u>

Total equivalent unit =                         <u>11,940</u>

The annual average CPI for 2016 was 240.5. If the CPI for 2010 was 218.1, then what was the inflation rate for the years 2010-20
aksik [14]

Answer: 9.31%

Explanation:

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is able to check the price change per year by pricing a fixed basket of goods in different years. It can be used to calculate inflation with the formula;

Inflation rate = (CPI target year - CPI base year / CPI base year) *100

= \frac{240.5-218.1}{218.1} * 100%

=9.31%

You are the manager of a firm that produces output in two plants. The demand for your firm's product is P = 78 − 15Q, where Q =
Leona [35]

Answer:

correct option is B. 40.5

Explanation:

given data

P = 78 - 15 Q

Q = Q1 + Q2

MC1 = 3Q1

MC2 = 2Q2

to find out

What price should be charged to maximize profits

solution

we get here first total revenue and marginal revenue that is

total revenue TR = P × Q   .......1

total revenue TR = 78Q - 15Q²

and

marginal revenue MR = \frac{change\ in\ TR}{change\ in\ Q}

marginal revenue MR = 78 - 30Q

now we get here

marginal revenue MR = MC1 = MC2

put here value

78 - 30Q1 - 30Q2 = 3 Q1 or 33 Q1 = 78 - 30Q2   ......................................a

78 - 30 Q1 - 30 Q2 = 2 Q2 or Q2 = 78 - 30Q1/32   ................................b

by equation a and b we get here

33 Q1 = 78 - 30 (78 - \frac{30Q1}{32} )

so here Q1 = 1 and

Q2 = 78 -  \frac{30*1}{32}

Q2 = 1.5

so that Q will be

Q = Q1 + Q2

Q = 1 + 1.5

Q = 2.5

now we get value of P that is

P = 78 - 15 Q

P = 78 - 15 (2.5)  

P = 40.5

so charged to maximize profits is 40.5

so correct option is B. 40.5

If in the past Congress had taken additional actions to make saving more rewarding, then today it is likely that the equilibrium
posledela

Answer:

C

Explanation:

In this question, we are looking at what would be the later effect of the Congress taking steps to make sure that there is an increase in the amount of returns on savings for example, say the amount of interest rate on saved money is increased.

What will happen in this case is that the equilibrium interest rate would be lower while the equilibrium quantity of loanable funds will be higher. What he meant by the equilibrium interest rate is that it is the interest rate at which the amount of money demanded is equal to the amount of money supplied.

Due to the legislation by congress, it is expected that more money would be supplied in terms of bank deposits as people would want to make a higher profit off the legislation. The effect of this is that the equilibrium interest rate will be lower as its balance would have been upset my the availability of more deposits and less demand.

We also say that the equilibrium level of loanable funds will be higher. This is because there would be more money present in the vaults of the bank as savings have been encouraged and people are expected to fill the bank with more money. This thus means the bank has more money to throw around via loans as there is an increase in the amount of savings. This surely would drive up the equilibrium quantity of loanable funds
