You are the only seller of eggs in town, and the price-elasticity coefficient for eggs is known to be 0.8. if you want to increa

kirill [66]

Answer: To increase sale by 10%, the seller must lower the price of the good by 12.5%.

Explanation: Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to a change in the price. Since, demand and price for a normal good are negatively related to each other, price elasticity is also negative. It can be calculated using,

$e_{d}=\frac{Precentage change in quantity demanded}{Percentage change in price} -0.8=\frac{10}{Percentage change in price} Percentage change in price = -\frac{10}{0.8} Percentage change in price = -12.5$

Therefore, to increase sale by 10%, the seller must lower the price of the good by 12.5%.

The Piper Co purchased a new machine 4 years ago at $15 million. The machine can be sold for $5 million today. The firm's curren

notsponge [240]

Answer:

$5,750,000

Explanation:

Given that,

Net working capital = $750,000

Current Liabilities = $2,000,000

Book value of the net fixed assets = $3,000,000

Net working capital = Current assets - Current Liabilities

Book value of the current assets:

= Net working capital + Current Liabilities

= $750,000 + $2,000,000

= $2,750,000

Book value of the firm's assets:

= Book value of the current assets + Book value of the net fixed assets

= $2,750,000 + $3,000,000

= $5,750,000

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

General agent

Explanation:

A general agent is a person that the principal authorises to perform transactions in relation to a part business on a certain place.

A general agent can perform all acts in relation to a business that has been assigned by the principal. For example in real estate when an agent performs property management functions for his client he is acting as a general agent.

On the other hand a special agent is one that is employed by a principal to perform a specific task or job and his scope of responsibility is limited to that job function.

Dawson Toys, Ltd., produces a toy called the Maze. The company has recently established a standard cost system to help control c

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

1. a. The materials price and quantity variances

Material price variance: Standard cost per micron is $1.50 and actual cost per micron is $1.48. So, price variance is 1.48 - 1.5 = $(0.02) per micron

Quantity variance: Based on standard bill of material, Dawson Toys need 3,000 x 6 = 18,000 microns to produce 3,000 Maze toys. Actual consumption volume is 25,000 - 5,000 = 20,000 microns. So, quantity variance is 20,000 - 18,000 = 2,000 microns.

1. b. The labor rate and efficiency variances

Actual labor rate = Actual labor cost / Actual hour = 88,000/4,000 = $22 per hour.

Efficiency variance = Actual labor rate - Standard labor rate = 22 - 21 = $1 per hour.

2. Prepare a brief explanation of the possible causes of each variance.

Direct material cost variance: Total actual material cost is 20,000 x 1.48 = $29,600, higher than standard material cost of 18,000 x 1.5 = $27,000. This is mainly due to higher production waste as compared to standards.

Direct labor cost variance: Total actual labor cost is $88,000, higher than standard labor cost of 4,000 x 21 = $84,000. This is mainly due to lower labor rate per hour than expected.

Which of the following theorems explains the relationship between interest rates and bond prices? For a given change in interest

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

For a given change in interest rates, the prices of long-term bonds will change more drastically than the prices of short-term bonds.

Explanation:

A bond can be defined as a fixed income instrument that firms use as a source of longer-term funding or loans.

The par value of a bond is its face value and it comprises of its total dollar amount as well as its maturity value. Also, the par value of a bond gives the basis on which periodic interest is paid. Thus, a bond is issued at par value when the market rate of interest is the same as the contract rate of interest. This simply means that, a bond would be issued at par (face) value when the bond's stated rated is significantly equal to the effective or market interest rate on the specific date it was issued.

In Economics, bonds could either be issued at discount or premium.

Hence, a bond that is being issued at a discount has its stated rate lower than the market interest rate, on the specific date of issuance. Also, a bond that is being issued at a premium, has its stated rate higher than the market interest rate on the specific date of issuance.

Generally, bond price is inversely proportional to its interest rate, thus, when interest rates are high, bond prices would be low and when interest rates are low, bond prices are high.

The theorem that best explains the relationship between interest rates and bond prices is that for a given change in interest rates, the prices of long-term bonds will change more drastically than the prices of short-term bonds because long-term bondholders are liable to higher rate of interest rate risks than the short-term bondholders.
