Answer:

The demand of a product may increase due to several factors, including a decrease in the product's price, an increase in the price of the competition (substitute products), a decrease in the price of complement, or an increase in consumer income.

The company can only control the price they charge for the product, but they do not control the other external factors. If the supplier is able to increase the quantity supplied, the equilibrium price might not vary at least in the short run. If the external factors continue then the equilibrium will probably increase.

If the quantity demanded for Colgate increases, but the supplier is not able to increase the quantity supplied, then the equilibrium price will increase due to a shortage of the product.

Using the estimated sales and production of 140,000 boxes of Chap-Off, the Accounting Department has developed the following man
Alchen [17]

Answer:

Silven Industries

If Silven buys its tubes from the outside supplier, it will be able to avoid $1.10 of its own Chap-Off manufacturing costs per box

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Estimated Production and Sales Units of Chap-Off = 140,000 boxes

Manufacturing cost per box:      Avoidable costs

Direct material              $ 3.70           $0.74 ($3.70 * 20%)

Direct labor                      2.00             0.20 ($2.00 * 10%)

Manufacturing overhead 1.60              0.16 ($1.60 * 10%)

Total cost                      $ 7.30            $1.10

Outside supplier's price for tubes = $1.20 per box

b) Unless there an alternative use for the machine used in making the tubes internally exists, it may not be cost-effective for Silven to buy from the outside supplier.  Alternatively, it should renegotiate a price per box that is less than $1.10 in order to stop making the tubes internally.

At the beginning of the month, you owned $8,000 of General Dynamics, $7,000 of Starbucks, and $5,000 of Nike. The monthly return
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

= $406.6

Explanation:

To calculate return of portfolio we first calculate weight of each asset

this can be done by finding total investment and then dividing each asset by total investment.

Total investment = 8000 + 7000 + 5000 = $20,000

General Dynamics     8000/20000 = 0.4 = W1

Starbucks                    7000/20000 = 0.35 = W2

Nike                             5000/20000 = 0.25 = W3

Now for portfolio return we can use the formula

P(r) = W1 * (Return on W1 asset) + W2 * (Return on W2 asset) + W3 * (Return on W3 asset)

So,

P(r) = 0.4 * (0.0680) + 0.35 * (-0.0152) + 0.25 * (-0.0062)

This gives us

Total Return % = 0.02033 or 2.033%

Simply multiply this cumulative weight to total portfolio worth

Total Return in $ = 0.02033 * 20000  = $406.6

Hope that helps.

Answer: PMI will automatically be dropped when the balance reaches $117,000.

Explanation: PMI stands for private mortgage insurance. This is an insurance policy that banks often require lenders to have when they do not have a 20% down payment on a new home.

PMI is automatically dropped with the amount of the mortgage due is reduced to 78% of the original appraised value of the home. In this case, the home was originally purchased for $150,000. 78% x 150,000 = $117,000. When the loan reaches $117,000 the pmi will automatically be dropped.
