The ___________ is the only price where quantity demanded is equal to quantity supplied.

For each of the following pairs of goods, state whether the cross-price elasticity is likely positive, negative, or zero. Explai

ioda

Answer:

a. Hulu and Netflix.

Positive. They are close substitutes

Hulu and Netflix both provides television shows, so a consumer can choose between them. They are good substitutes

b. Tortilla chips and salsa.

Negative. They are complements.

Tortilla chips are consumed with salsa sauce. So a demand for salsa increases so does demand for tortilla chips.

c. Movie and popcorn.

Negative. They are complements.

The more people watch movies the more they will want to buy popcorn.

d. Running shoes and high heels

Close to zero. While they are substitutes they are not close substitutes.

Each has its own time of use. Consumers by them independently.

Explanation:

Cross price elasticity is a measure of the quantity demanded of one good to changes in price of another good.

So when a good's demand reduces with increase in price of another it is negative cross price elasticity. This is common with complements.

When quantity demanded of a good increases with increase in price of another, they are substitutes.

However when there is little effect on the quantity demanded with increase in price of the other good they are unrelated

It takes 30 minutes of direct labor time to make one unit. Direct labor wages average $17 per hour. Variable overhead is applied

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

$404,000

Explanation:

Overheads includes all indirect cost incurred to product the units to be sold. Indirect costs are those costs which are not directly traceable / attributable to the product. These cost are variable and fixed.

Time for each unit = 30 minutes = 0.5 hours

Budgeted production in November = Closing Inventory + Sales in November - Opening Inventory.

Budgeted production in November = (180,000 x 10% ) + 135,000 - 14,000 = 139,000

Budgeted production overhead Included all the variable and fixed overheads incurred to produce the budgeted production.

Variable overhead = 139,000 x 5 X 0.5 = $347,500

Total budgeted Overhead = $347,500 + $56,500 = $404,000

GUYS PLEASE HELP ME WITH FINANCIAL PLAN FOR COMPANY OF CONFECTIONERY PRODUCTS BASED ON COFFEE!!!!! 1)Set the price of product an

OLEGan [10]

You are planning a coffee company, This would depend on an amount of customers, location of the company, and how you are going to distribute the product. It will also depend on the source of your products, and the economic and political standpoint of each individual country

1) The buying price should encompass many "thoughts":

It must be small enough to give you a profit

The price of the product must not meet or exceed your selling price, for to continue to do business with them, you must be able to earn a profit.

It must be large enough so that both the buyer and seller is happy

To keep both the buyer and seller happy, the buyer must be able to give a reasonable price that would ensure a continuation of the product, which means buying in a price that would allow the seller to pay for employees, cover businesses expenditures, etc.

This may place the price in a higher amount, so you must ensure that your product is high-quality to offset the price. For in the balance of price vs customer, the higher the price, the less customers (unless you are a monopoly (which you are not), or you have loyalty.)

2) To calculate the possible earnings, you must subtract the costs from the total revenue you have gotten (to find the profit).

The costs can include: shipment, supplies, electricity, upkeep of store(s), taxes (property, business, etc), royalty to coffee-company, ad-costs (if you decide to run them), etc.

For example, let us say that:

Total cost for:

Shipment: $300 per shipment (10 shipments = 10 x 300 = $3000)
Royalty: $1000
Tax: $300
Payment to sources: $0.10 a lb.
Cost for 500 lbs. of coffee

500 x 0.10 = 50

3000 + 1000 + 300 + 50 = $4,350

This means that total cost for shipment of resources needed is $4,350.

Now, let us calculate the cost of the business itself:

For example:

Total cost for:

Building maintenance: $5,000

Pay for employees as a whole for 30 days: $6,000

Electricity, Gas, and other power source: $2,000

Total cost: 5000 + 6000 + 2000 = $13,000

Total cost for extra workers (repairs): $3,000

Tax as a whole: $16,000

16000 + 3000 = 19,000

This means that total cost is:

$13,000 + $19,000 + 4,350= $36350

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So we must calculate the amount needed to break even and make a profit.

Let us say that you want to make a $10000 profit.

Add $36350 with $10000, which equals $46,350

=>

After a month, you find that approximately 50,000 customers show up (returns are counted too) in total to your stores because they find that your products are good

Divide $46,350 with 50,000

46,350/50,000 = ~0.93

However, 93¢ is a weird number to sell coffee, and so we will round up to $1.00

This means that you sell each cup of coffee at $1.00

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3) The cost of production is $36,350, with the total revenue being a projected amount of $46,350 - $50,000

Subtract the range with the production

$46,350 - $36,350 = 10,000

$50,000 - $36,350 = 13650

The total profit is projected to be from $10,000 - 13,650

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

=> Remember revenue & profit is usually poured back into the company, and so the amount is subject to change in a year to year process. Also, the percentage of loyalty & new customers may change as well. Political events around the world may affect sales. Overseas openings of shops may also have an effect on the company.

Patricia Hill Collins refers to race, class, gender, etc. as "interlocking structures of oppression." Implied in that statement

sergeinik [125]

Answer:

Patricia Hill Collins – Interlocking Structure of Oppression

Patricia Hill Collins is Charles Phelps Taft Professor of Sociology within and she is also a former Chair of the Department of African American Studies at the University of Cincinnati. Professor Patricia Collins received her B.A. and Ph.D. degrees in sociology from Brandeis University, and a degree in M.A.T. from Harvard University. She is a social theorist; her research and scholarship have dealt primarily with issues of gender, race, social class, sexuality and nation specifically relating to African American women. She has published number of articles in professional journals such as Sociological Theory, Ethnic and Racial Studies, Social Problems, Signs, and Black Scholar, as well as in various edited volumes.

In 1993 Patricia Collins wrote a wonderful piece discussing race, class, and gender as categories of analysis and connection in American society. This is very informative and let me take this liberty to summarize what I consider to be important things which we all should know about.

We live in a society which contains many kinds of people living around us. May times we all differ from each other. There are people are people around us from different backgrounds, race, caste, creed etc. With these different people, there are some people who are being oppressed for a long time in our society. These people are the victim of oppression. Due to this oppression and inequality, we have made a generalization that some people are victims and some are an oppressor. But this idea is somewhat flawed. For example, white skin women fight for the right to equality of women but little did they understand that white skin people have been oppressing black people for ages.

We live in a world where a group of people says about the oppression which they have faced at maximum. They talk about extreme oppression case of the people. People should know that these cases and concepts of oppression are full of contradictions and errors. In this world, If we look closely, we will come to know that there are only a few people who are pure victims of this oppression , otherwise, we all have oppressed other people at one point or another.

If we look closely to ourselves then, we’ll come to know that there is a piece of oppressor inside us. And this is the reason that world is having more oppressors and very less pure victims. We should look at our behavior while talking to other people, especially those who are in a minority so that we can take care of the piece of oppressor within us. In order to take care of this inequality, we need to understand new visions of what is oppression. When we’ll look at the terms closely, our ideas and vision can lead to short-term social changes and revolutions.

People talk about inequality and oppression most of the times, but they forget that sometimes, the oppressed people have many privileges based on their care, color, creed, gender etc. These things should be much more talked and taken care of. There are also some people who are oppressor according to some culture and oppressed according to another. Thus, we need some more info and a New vision to look into these flaws of the society. And it is seen many times that these institutions are interlocked.

The society we live in is a complex web of problematic relationship with the people living in it. There is a kind of cobwebs in the society these days. All people are having problems and personal issues living in the society. This is a part where inequality also plays a major role. We genuinely and sincerely need a new vision to fight this inequality.

Re-conceptualizing race, class, gender as a group for analysis

In order to Re-conceptualize this concept of oppressor and victim, we need to understand the fact that we all are oppressed and oppressor at some point in time. We must stop the additive analysis of oppression that is adding race, gender and class oppression will lead to a greater sum. And apart from that, we stand on the pillars of quantification of the oppression. We can’t deny the fact that there are people who are more oppressed than other and also the intensity may vary.

In order to establish new thinking in our society, we need to ask new questions to ourselves, see through the new vision and new perspective in the society. Our task is redefined in order to remove any kind of oppression and inequality in the society.
