Answer: Option (c) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Price elasticity of demand = 0.5

Percentage increase in price = 8%

Price elasticity of demand = \frac{Percentage\ change\ in\ quantity\ demanded}{Percentage\ change\ in\ price}

0.5 =  \frac{Percentage\ change\ in\ quantity\ demanded}{8}

Percentage change in quantity demanded = 0.5 × 8

                                                                       = 4%

Therefore, if the price rises by 8% then as a result quantity demanded decreases by 4%.

vredina [299]

Answer:

Bay City Company

Flexible Budget Performance Report:

                                         Flexible Budget    Actual Results    Variances

Sales (in units)                            4,900                4,900

Sales (in dollars)                  $392,000          $431,200        $39,200 F

Total expenses:

Variable expenses                245,000           276,000           31,200 U

Fixed expenses                     140,000            130,000            10,000 F

Total expenses                     385,000           406,000            21,200 U

Income from operations        $7,000           $25,200          $18,200 U

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Variable expenses = $300,000

Fixed expenses =      $140,000

Budgeted total expenses = $440,000

Actual expenses:

Fixed expenses = $130,000

                                         Fixed Budget    Actual Results    Variances

Sales (in units)                            6,000                4,900

Sales (in dollars)                  $480,000          $431,200        $48,800 U

Total expenses                     440,000           406,000           34,000 F

Income from operations      $40,000           $25,200         $14,800 U

Flexing the budgets:

Sales revenue = $392,000 ($480,000/6,000 * 4,900)

Variable expenses = $245,000 ($300,000/6,000 * $4,900)

Actual variable expenses = $276,000 ($406,000 - $130,000)

lyudmila [28]

Answer:

0.66

Explanation:

the fourfirm concentration ratio is the sum of the concentration ratio of the four largest firms in the industry.

The sales of the second largest firm = $35 million - ( $10 million + $4 million+ $2 million + $12 million ) = $7 million

concentration ratio of firm 1 = $10 million / $35 million = 0.29

concentration ratio of firm 2  = $7 million / $35 million = 0.2

concentration ratio of firm 3 = $4 million / $35 million = 0.11

concentration ratio of firm 4 = $2 million / $35 million = 0.06

Adding the ratios together = 0.66
