Answer: Expectancy-Outcome Values Theory
Explanation:
The Expectancy-Outcome Values Theory is one that is quite popular in many fields ranging from health to economics as it aims to explain that human behavior is governed by expectations of events.
Under the Expectancy-Outcome Values Theory, people will evaluate the cost, benefit, or value related to making a change in a particular attitude, value, belief, or behavior to decide if it is worthwhile or not.
For most if not all decisions taken therefore, there goes into it quite a lot of mental calculations involving the effects of an event before a decision is made.
The question is incomplete as the figures are missing. The complete question is,
Fosnight Enterprises prepared the following sales budget:
Month Budgeted Sales
March $6,000
April $13,000
May $11,000
June $20,000
The expected gross profit rate is 20% and the inventory at the end of February was $7,000. Desired inventory levels at the end of the month are 30% of the next month's cost of goods sold. What are the total purchases budgeted for May?
Answer:
Purchases - May = $10960
Explanation:
To calculate the total value of purchases that are budgeted for May, we first need to calculate the cost of goods sold and the opening and closing inventory for May.
As the gross profit margin is 20%, the cost of goods sold will be 80% of sales.
Cost of goods sold for May = 0.8 * 11000 = $8800
Cost of goods sold for June = 0.8 * 20000 = $16000
Opening inventory - May = 8800 * 0.3 = $2640
Closing Inventory - May = 16000 * 0.3 = $4800
Purchases = Closing Inventory + Cost of Goods Sold for the month - Opening Inventory
Purchases - May = 4800 + 8800 - 2640
Purchases - May = $10960
Answer
Before I answer this question, you must note that the equilibrium price is created by both the amount supplied of a certain product as well as how much "customers" there are (or the amount that is bought in all). This however, is usually not taking account any potential competitors.
For example, let say that the price in creating the product (or buying) is $15. This means that right now, the company loses $15 for one of the products. To make a profit, the selling price must be >$15. However, (unless they are a monopoly, such as, for example, electrical companies) there are competitors that they must fight with to get customers. Of course, there are other things that can affect the price, depending on the demographic and area.
So how does supply and demand affect the equilibrium price? The limits of the supply & the amount of demand would help determine the price by the amount of people buying and the supply of the product.
