Answer:
a. Calculate the price elasticity of supply for Aji's Chocolate Factory in February
b. Calculate the price elasticity of supply for Aji's Chocolate Factory in March
c. If Aji's Factory is nearly at full capacity of production in March, what will happen to Aji's Factory price elasticity of supply in April?
- If the company is producing at full capacity, then its price elasticity of supply will be perfectly inelastic even if the price increases. This is because any increase in price will not affect the quantity supplied because the company cannot increase it even if they wanted to.
Explanation:
price elasticity of supply = % change in quantity supplied / % change in price
It measures the proportional change in the quantity supplied that producers will make given a 1% change in the price of their product.
PES February = [(110 - 80)/80] / [(2.5 - 2)/2] = 0.375 / 0.25 = 1.5
PES March = [(140 - 110)/110] / [(3 - 2.5)/2.5] = 0.273 / 0.2 = 1.36
Answer:
Computing a cost rate per production is not part of activity based costing
Explanation: The cost rate per production is computed in the traditional Absorption costing to allocate the overhead costs to unit products.
Answer and Explanation:
1. The computation of the total annual cost in each case is shown below:
Total annual cost = Annual fee + license per tax return × number of returns filed
a. For 332 returns
= $403 + $11 × $332
= $403 + $3,652
= $4,055
b. For 424 returns
= $403 + $11 × $424
= $403 + $4,664
= $5,067
c. For 522 returns
= $403 + $11 × $522
= $403 + $5,742
= $6,145
2. Now the cost per return is
Cost per return = Total annual cost ÷ number of returns filed
a. For 332 returns
= $4,055 ÷ 332 retunrs
= $12.21
b. For 424 returns
= $5,067 ÷ 424 returns
= $11.95
c. . For 522 returns
= $6,145 ÷ 522 returns
= $11.77
Answer: decreased by 8.5%
Explanation:
The beta coefficient of a stock is simply used to measure the volatility of a stock which is relative to the market.
From the question, we are informed that investor's portfolio has a beta coefficient of 0.85 and that the overall market declined by 10% over the course of a year.
Based on the information above, the value of the portfolio would have decreased by:
= 0.85/10
= 0.085
= 8.5%
