Answer:

(A) -5/6

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand = % change in quantity demanded ÷ % change in price

% change in quantity demanded = (60-40)/40 × 100 = 20/40 × 100 = 50%

% change in price = ($6-$15)/$15 × 100 = -$9/$15 × 100 = -60%

Price elasticity of demand = 50% ÷ -60% = -5/6

Bade Midwifery's cost formula for its wages and salaries is $1,420 per month plus $246 per birth. For the month of October, the
saul85 [17]

Answer:

activity variance =  $984 F

Explanation:

given data

wages and salaries = $1,420 per month

per birth = $246

planned for activity = 107  births

actual level of activity = 103 births

actual wages and salaries = $27,795

to find out

activity variance for wages and salaries

solution

we know wages and salaries cost for October is

wages and salaries Planning budget  = 1420 + ( 107 × 246 )

wages and salaries Planning budget = $27742

and

Wages and salaries  Flexible budget = 1420 + ( 103 × 246 )

Wages and salaries  Flexible budget = $26758

so

activity variance = $27742 - $26758

activity variance =  $984 F

By shutting​ down, a firm A. stops receiving revenue and is stuck with its fixed costs. B. can avoid paying taxes on its previou
wel

Answer:

option A

Explanation: A firm cannot avoid paying taxes on previous profits as these profits were earned before the shutting down period and generally the taxes on profits for current period  are paid at a later period. Thus option B is incorrect.

.

Revenue is the total income that a business gets from its normal operations and variable cost is the cost that changes with the level of output. Thus, there will be no revenue and also variable cost.  Hence option C is incorrect.

.

Sunk cost are the costs that cannot be recovered and are already been incurred.So a company can avoid its variable cost by shutting down but not its   sunk cost. Hence option D is incorrect.

.

Fixed costs are the costs that are independent of the level of output. Therefore, a company after shutting down will not receive revenue but will have to bear fixed cost. Hence option A is correct.

Big Box Store has operated with a 30% average gross profit ratio for a number of years. It had $100,000 in sales during the seco
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

c) $20,000.

Explanation:

The computation of the estimated ending inventory is shown below:

We know that

Cost of goods sold = Beginning inventory + purchase made - ending inventory

And, the

Sales - gross profit = Cost of goods sold

$100,000 - $100,000 × 30% = Cost of goods sold

So, cost of goods sold would be

= $100,000 - $30,000

= $70,000

Now the ending inventory would be

$70,000 = $18,000 + $72,000 - ending inventory

$70,000 = $90,000  - ending inventory

So, the ending inventory would be

= $90,000 - $70,000

= $20,000

There are 20 workers in Thailand and each can produce either 4 computers or 60 tons of rice. There are 40 workers in the United
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

Thailand:

Opportunity cost of computers = 300/20 = 15 tons of rice

US:

Opportunity cost of computers = 800/100 = 8 tons of rice

US has a comparative advantage in production of computers

Absence of trade:

Thailand consumes 150 tons of rice, it can consume = (300 - 150)/30 x 2 = 10 computers

US consumes 50 computers, it can consume = 400 tons of rice

After trade :

10 computers exchanged for 120 tons of rice

Thailand continues to consume 150 tons of rice, it will consume = 12 computers (=10 + 30/15)

US continues to consume 50 computers, it will consume = 440 tons of rice (=120 + 40 x 8)

Both would accept the proposal as both are better off with trade
