Answer:
Q=120−4P
Explanation:
putting P = 20 we get
q= 40
we know that elasticity is quantity demanded / price
20
40
=2
hence the correct option: D
Answer:
(a) the cost of the goods sold for the September 30 sale and
(b) the inventory on September 30.
- Ending inventory = 9 units at $17 = $153
Explanation:
date transaction units unit price total
1 beginning inv. 23 $16 $368
5 sale -13 ($208)
17 purchase 24 $17 $408
30 sale -25 ($415)
30 ending inv. 9 $17 $153
When we use first in, first out (FIFO) inventory method, the price of the units sold are calculated using the oldest units in inventory.
The COGS of the units sold on Sept. 5 = 13 units x $16 = $208
The COGS of the units sold on Sept. 30 = (10 units x $16) + (15 units x $17) = $160 + $255 = $415
Ending inventory = 9 units at $17 = $153
Answer:
increase in income of $80
Explanation:
Prepare an Analysis of Costs and Savings if the Company buys from Outside Supplier.
Note : The fixed costs per unit at are unavoidable are irrelevant and disregarded in this decision.
<u>Analysis of Costs and Savings</u>
Purchase Price (400 widgets × $44.00) = ($17,600)
Savings :
Variable Costs ($35.60 × 400 widgets) = $14,240
Fixed Cost ( $8.60 × 400 widgets) = $3,440
Net Income effect = $80
Conclusion :
The effect on net income if the company instead buys the widgets is an increase in income of $80
Answer:
56.46%
Explanation:
The computation of the gross profit percentage is shown below
Gross profit percentage is
= (Sales - cost of goods sold) ÷ (Sales) × 100
where,
Sales is $850,000
And, the cost of goods sold is $344,600
Now placing these values to the above formula
So, the gross profit percentage is
= ($850,000 - $344,600) ÷ ($850,000) × 100
= $505,400 ÷ $850,000 × 100
= 56.46%
Answer: Most economist believe that prices are flexible in the long run but many are sticky in the short run.
Explanation:
Prices are sticky in the short run because producers and buyers take time to adapt to new situations. If there is a shortage of butter, lets say, the economic theory says that the prices will rise because there is less butter ( ceteris paribus = all the other factors remain constant). Actually, buyers and suppliers need time to adapt to the new situation. However, in the long run buyers and suppliers have time to adapt to new situations so prices become more flexible.
