Answer:

C. Fall, 30%, Rise

Explanation:

  • Price Elasticity of Demand is responsive change in demand, due to change in price.

P.Ed = % change in demand / % change in price.

Given : Price rise by 50% , P.Ed = 0.6

So, % change in demand = P.ed x % change in price

% change in demand = 0.6 (50)

% change in demand = 30%

Law of demand states negative relationship between price & demand, so P.ed is negative. Price rise 50% reduces demand by 30%.

  • P.Ed can be : Elastic ( > 1 ), or Inelastic ( < 1 ).  If P.Ed is Elastic, price & total revenue are inversely related. If P.Ed is Inelastic, price & total revenue are directly related.

So, Given PEd = 0.6 (i.e < 1 ) : Inelastic Demand implies price & total revenue are directly related related to each other. So, price fall lead to TR fall & price rise lead to TR rise.

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

$8,400

Explanation:

total commission = $300,000 x 8% = $24,000

50% co-brokerage split = $24,000 x 50% = $12,000

Walt's commission = $12,000 x 70% = $8,400

the 70% commission split between Walt and his broker means that Walt keeps 70% of the commission and the broker keeps 30%.

total commission is split between the two firms because the Walt's listing was sold by another firm.

Wilmington Company has two manufacturing departments--Assembly and Fabrication. It considers all of its manufacturing overhead c
leva [86]

Answer:

1. $3,380

2. $2,175

Explanation:

Part 1

Predetermined overhead rate = Total Overheads for the Company ÷ Total  Direct labor-hours for the Company

                                                  =  $ 15,080,000 ÷ 232,000

                                                  = $65

Overheads applied to Job Bravo = ( 30 x $65) + (22 x $65) =  $3,380

Part 2

<em>Assembly department</em>

Predetermined overhead rate =  $ 7,250,000 ÷ 145,000

                                                  = $50

<em>Assembly department</em>

Predetermined overhead rate =  $ 7,830,000 ÷ 290,000

                                                  = $27

Overheads applied to Job Bravo = (30 x $50) + (25 x $27) = $2,175

Chu Company provided the following information related to its inventory sales and purchases for December Year 1 and the first qu
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

Option (a) is correct.

Explanation:

For February,

Opening inventory would have been:

= 25% of February

= (25% × $89,000)

= $22,250

Ending inventory would have been:

= 25% of March

= (25% × $59,000)

= $14,750

Hence,

Cost of goods sold = Opening inventory + Purchases - Ending inventory

$89,000 = $22,250 + Purchases - $14,750

Purchases = $89,000 + $14,750 - $22,250

                  = $81,500

Therefore, the budgeted purchases of inventory in February Year 2 would be $81,500.
