If the government imposes a maximum price for milk that is above the equilibrium price:

1 answer:

6 0

Maximum prices in economics can be also known as Price Ceiling, where it is the legal maximum prices that producers can sell their good at. However, as this causes a market disequilibrium, ceteris paribus, there will exist a surplus of goods produced. This is due to the signalling and incentive effective on producers and consumers resulting in the increase of price (that has been set by the government). Consumers would consume less of the product as it is more pricey than before, hence they are less willing and able to buy the product at the new price. Producers on the other hand sees more revenue to be earnt through higher prices and hence would devote their resources into producing that product. Hence the mismatch of supply and demand results in a surplus of products and would likely result in the government buying all the surplus out of interest for producers.

Bade Midwifery's cost formula for its wages and salaries is $1,230 per month plus $240 per birth. For the month of October, the

jasenka [17]

Answer:

wages and salaries activity variance= $1,000 unfavorable

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Standard:

Fixed= $1,230

Variable= $240 er birth

Actual:

101 births.

The actual wages and salaries for the month was $26,470.

To calculate the activity variance for wages, we need to use the following formula:

wages and salaries activity variance= (actual costs - standards costs)

standards= 1,230 + 240*101= $25,470

wages and salaries activity variance= (26,470 - 25,470)

wages and salaries activity variance= $1,000 unfavorable

You have two options to repay a loan. You can repay $6,000 now and $5,940 in one year; or you can repay $12,000 in 6 months. Fin

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

We will consider positive interest rate which is i=0.21 or i=21%

Explanation:

The formula for Future value is:

$FV=PV(1+i)^n$

The present value will become:

$PV=FV(1+i)^{-n}$

where:

n is the number of years

Since the condition is same present value,so the given data form the equation:

$6000+5940(1+i)^{-1}=12000(1+i)^{-1/2}$

Divide above equation by $(1+i)^{-1}$

$6000(1+i)+5940=12000(1+i)^{1/2}$

Let $z=(1+i)^{1/2}\\$ . Above equation will become:

$6000z^2+5940=12000z$

Rearranging above equation:

$5940-12000z+6000z^2=0$

Solving the quadratic equation:

z=1.1, z=0.9

Let $z=(1+i)^{1/2}\\$ will become:

$z=(1+i)^{1/2}\\\\z^2=1+i$

$i=z^2-1$

For z=1.1

$i=(1.1)^2-1\\i=0.21$

For z=0.9

$i=(0.9)^2-1\\i=-0.19$

we will consider positive interest rate which is i=0.21 or i=21%

Six years ago a commercial property owner paid $490,000 for her complex which included 10 acres of land valued at $100,000. Usin

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

AS land cannot be depreciated we will first subtract the value of the land from the complex so we are left with $390,000 (490,000-100,000)

In straight line method each year the asset is depreciated by the same amount so in order to find out yearly depreciation we will divide 390,000 by 40

=9750

In 6 years the complex has depreciated for $58,500

So the current value of the apartment complex would be (490,000-58500)

The current value of the apartment complex is $431500
