Answer: Her income elasticity of demand for cottage cheese is <em><u>0.3333</u></em> making it a <em><u>normal and necessary</u></em> good.

The income elasticity  of demand is given by :

\mathbf{YED = \frac{percentage change in demand}{percentage change in income}}

The percentage change in income is given as 60%. We calculate the percentage change in quantity demanded as follows:

\mathbf{percentage change in quantity demanded = \frac{Q_{1}-Q_{0}}{Q_{0}}}

\mathbf{percentage change in quantity demanded = \frac{12-10}{10}}

\mathbf{percentage change in quantity demanded = 0.2}\\

Substituting the value above in the income elasticity demand formula we get,

\mathbf{YED = \frac{0.20}{0.60}}

<u>YED = 0.33333</u>

Since the income elasticity is positive, and since Shawna buys more cottage cheese after an increase in income, we can classify this good as a normal good.

Since the income elasticity is between 0 and 1 we can also conclude that cottage cheese is also a essential good or a necessity.

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Data given

Cash and cash equivalents $760 $77

Accounts receivables net $2,080 $1,890

Inventory $830 $810

Other current assets $440 $433

Total current assets $4,110 $3,210

Total current liabilities $2,100 $1,590

Net credit sales $8,258

Cost of goods sold $5,328

1. Current ratio = Current assets/Current liabilities

= 4,110/2,100

= 1.96

2. Accounts receivable turnover = Credit sales/Average accounts receivables

= 8,258÷ [(2,080+1,890)/2]

= 8,258 ÷ 1,985

= 4.16 times

3. Average collection period = Average accounts receivables/Credit sales × 365 days

= (1,985/8,258) × 365

= 87.7 days

4. Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold/Average inventory

= 5,328/[830 + 810)/2]

= 5,328/820

= 6.5 times

5. Days in inventory = Average inventory/Cost of goods sold × 365

= (820/5,328) × 365

= 56.2 days

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer: D. supervisors gain experience in and are accountable for solving problems in their work units.

Explanation:

A chain of command is necessary in business because it diversifies authority such that decisions can be made faster.

It works by dividing employees into units which will answer to a manager. That manager will make decisions for the unit and this leads to decisions being made faster because everybody wouldn't have to go to upper management when they already have a manager.

Supervisors/ managers of these units are therefore accountable for their units and will gain experience from being so.

laila [671]

The total amount of FICA Taxes (self-employment and employment related) that Kyle owes for 2021 is $17,181.

Data and Calculations:

Kyle = single taxpayer

Self-employment income for three months = $44,000

Employment income for nine months = $178,000

Total income for 2021 = $222,000

FICA taxes:

Social Security tax = $13,764 ($222,000 x 6.2%)

Medicare tax = $3,219 ($222,000 x 1.45%)

Additional Medicare tax  = $198 ($22,000 x 0.9%) ($222,000 - $200,000)

Total FICA taxes = $17,181 ($13,764 + $3,219 + $198)

Thus, Kyle's total FICA taxes for 2021 is $17,181.
