Answer:

Price Elasticity of Demand is -4

Explanation:

We can see the graph and easily calculate the Q1 which is 120 units at P1 $140 and Q2 which is 80 units at P2 $160 price.

The starting point formula for calculating price elasticity of demand is given as under:

Price Elasticity of Demand = (ΔQ / Q2)  /  (ΔP / P2)

Here

ΔQ = Q1 - Q2 = 120 - 80 = 40 units

ΔP = P1  -  P2 = 140 - 160 =   - $20

By putting value in the above equation, we have:

Price Elasticity of Demand = (40 Units / 80 Units)  /  (-$20 / $160)

Price Elasticity of Demand = -4

A company had net income of $50,000 under variable costing. Beginning and ending inventories were 400 units and 500 units, respe
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

$52,000

Explanation:

Net income under variable costing considers only variable cost, while net income under absorption costing considers both variable and fixed cost. Therefore, we have:

Total beginning fixed overhead = 400 × $10 = $4,000

Total ending fixed overhead = 500 × $12 =$6,000

Fixed overhead for the period = $6,000 - $4,000 = $2,000

Net income under absorption costing = $50,000 + $2,000 = $52,000

Olegator [25]

Answer:

c. increasing; $62.5

Explanation:

The computation is shown below;

As we know that

Multiplier = 1 ÷ 1 - MPC

= 1 ÷ 1 - 0.75

= 1 ÷ 0.25

= 4

Now if the equilibrium GDP is $250 billion less than the expected level of GDP

So, the government spending would be increased by

= $250 billion ÷ 4

= $62.5

Hence, the correct option is c.
