Jessica Simpson sets up shop to sell “Buffalo Wings.” She observes that if the price drops from $3.50 per order to $2.50 per ord

er, her daily sales rise from 300 to 500 orders. A. What is the price elasticity of demand for Jessica’s “Buffalo wings?” B. Which price yields the greater total revenue? C. Jessica is considering adding a new product, widgets, to the menu. She has experimented and discovered that a 10% increase in the price of wings causes a 20% increase in the quantity of widgets sold. What is the cross elasticity of demand between widgets and wings? Are they complements or substitutes?? D. What is the difference between the price elasticity of demand and the slope of the demand curve? Are they the same concept? Are they even related concepts?

Answer:

(I) Price elasticity = 1/6

(II) the $2.5 price gives the higher revenue: 1,250

Explanation:

(I) price elasticity

E_s =\frac{\frac{Q2 - Q1}{(Q2+Q1)/2}}{\frac{P2 - P1}{(P2+P1)/2}}

↑Q (500 - 300)/((500+ 300) / 2)

↑Q 200 / (800/2) =  200/400 = 1/2

↑P (3.5 - 2.5)/((3.5+2.5)/2)

↑P 1/(6/2) = 1/3

Es = \frac{1/2}{1/3}  = 1/6

(II) total revenue

3.5 x 300 = 1,050

2.5 x 500 = 1,250

Answer:

A) the price elasticity of demand (PED) of Jessica's buffalo wings is:

PED = % change in quantity / % change in price

{Q2 - Q1 / [(Q2 + Q1) / 2]} / {P2 - P1 / [(P2 + P1) / 2]} = {500 - 300 / [(500 + 300) / 2]} / {3.50 - 2.50 / [(3.50 + 2.50) / 2]} = (200 / 400) / (1 / 3) = 0.5 / 0.33 = 1.52

B) $3.50 x 300 = $1,050

$2.50 x 500 = $1,250

A price of $2.50 per buffalo wing order will result in a total revenue of $1,250

C) Cross PED = % change in quantity demanded for Product A / % change in price of product B.

% change in quantity demanded of widgets / % change in price of wings = 20% / 10% = 2

Since the cross PED of widgets and wings is positive, then they are substitute products.

D) PED measures the proportional change in quantity demanded when the price of the product changes by 1%, while the slope of the demand curve measures the change in price due to a change in the quantity demanded.

Both concepts seem to be similar, their definitions include too many price changes and changes in the quantity demanded, but they measure different things. One measures a change in units and the other a change in price.

A landowner owned a large piece of property containing an inn and a bakery. She entered into a contract to sell the property to
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

The most likely result at trial is that the landowner's claim for specific performance will be successful, and she will be awarded the entire price of contract.

Explanation:

When there isn't a statute, the buyer bears the risk of loss when property subject to a contract for sale is destroyed without fault of any party prior to the date specified for closing. Unless the contract specifies otherwise, the buyer must pay the contract price even if the property is damaged by fire.

The inn was burned down in this case after the landowner and the buyer signed a contract for the sale of the property, but before the closing date. The contract appears to be silent on the risk of loss, and no appropriate statute exists. As a result of the common law rule, the buyer bears the risk of loss. Therefore, the landowner has the right to particular execution of the contract, which implies that the entire stipulated contract price must be paid by the buyer.

Regardless of the property's drop in worth owing to the fire, the $1 million contract price must be paid by the buyer because he bears the risk of loss.

Therefore, the most likely result at trial is that the landowner's claim for specific performance will be successful, and she will be awarded the entire price of contract.

The following information was collected for the first year of manufacturing for Appliance Apps: Direct Materials per Unit $2.50
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

<u>First, we need to calculate the total unitary variable cost:</u>

Total unitary variable cost=2.5 + 1.5 + 0.25 + 1.5

Total unitary variable cost= $5.75

<u>Now, the variable costing income statement:</u>

Sales= 33,000*12= 396,000

Total variable cost= (33,000*5.75)= (189,750)

Total contribution margin= 206,250

Fixed Manufacturing Expenses= (117,000)

Fixed Selling and Administration Expenses= (21,000)

Net operating income= 68,250

A manager is trying to decide whether to purchase a certain part or to have it produced internally. Internal production could us
Sergio [31]

Answer:

For both 10,000 units and 20,000 units, the best alternative is Vendor B

Explanation:

Using the information provided in the question, we can write the following:

Annual Volume of 10,000 units

Internal Alternative 1

Variable costs = 170,000 (we multiply the variable cost per unit by total units)

Fixed costs = 20,000

Total costs = 370,000

Internal Alternative 2

Variable costs = 140,000

Fixed costs = 240,000

Total costs = 380,000

Vendor A

Total cost = 200,000 (we simply multiply the price by the quantity)

Vendor B

Total cost = 180,000

Vendor C

Total cost = 190,000

The cheapest option is Vendor B

Now for the 20,000 units:

Internal Alternative 1

Variable costs = 340,000

Fixed costs = 200,000

Total costs = 540,000

Internal Alternative 2

Variable costs = 280,000

Fixed costs = 240,000

Total costs = 520,000

Vendor A

Total cost = 400,000

Vendor B

Total cost = 360,000

Vendor C

Total cost = 380,000

Therefore, Vendor B is once again, the cheapest alternative.
