Answer:
a market economy is a system where the laws of supply and demand direct the production of goods and services
Answer:
The journal entry is as follows:
Work in process A/c Dr. $158,700
Manufacturing overhead A/c Dr. $2,250
To Raw material inventory $160,950
(To record the issuance of materials)
Workings:
- Work in process is debited with direct material:
= 88,700 + 27,600 + 3,650 + 38,750
= $158,700
- Manufacturing overhead debited with indirect material cost = $2,250
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 :
The percentage change in income is given as 60%. We calculate the percentage change in quantity demanded as follows:
Substituting the value above in the income elasticity demand formula we get,
<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.
Answer:
A. That's the point where total revenue is maximized
Explanation:
Demand Curve is a downward sloping curve representing inverse relationship between price & quantity demanded.
Elasticity of Demand is the responsiveness of quantity demanded to price change. It can be measured geometrically on a demand curve point by :
Demand curve segment below the point / Demand curve segment above the point.
This way the elasticity keeps on decreasing as we move downwards on the demand curve [Ed=∞ to Ed >1 to Ed = 1 to Ed < 1 to Ed = 0] i.e [from perfectly elastic to elastic to unitary elastic to inelastic to perfectly inelastic demand].
If Demand is Elastic [Ed >1] : There is negative relationship between price and Total Revenue. This point is on the upper segment of demand curve as per geometric method, P- TR negative relationship implies that TR can be increased by decreasing Price.
If Demand is Inelastic [Ed <1] : There is positive relationship between price &total revenue. This point is on the lower segment of demand curve as per geometric method, P-TR positive relationship implies that TR can be increased by increasing price.
So: The best Total Revenue Maximising point is on the middle of demand curve where demand is unitary elastic [Ed=1] - as any other deviation from this point would create an incentive to change price to generate higher revenue.
