Answer:

$60 to $70; 20 units to 25 units

Explanation:

The production point for the monopolist is where the marginal revenue is equal to the marginal cost,

For first demand curve,

P = 100 - 2Q

MR = 100 - 4Q,  the MR curve is double sloped than the demand curve

MC = 20

 Now, Equating Marginal revenue with marginal cost,

100 - 4Q = 20

4Q = 80

Q = 20

P = 100 - (2 × 20)

  = 60

For second demand curve,

P = 120 - 2Q

MR = 120 - 4Q

MC = 20

Now, Equating Marginal revenue with marginal cost,

120 - 4Q = 20

4Q = 100

Q = 25

P = 120 - (2 × 25)

  = 70

So, the quantity increases from 20 units to 25 units and the price increases from $60 to $70.

A company pays each of its two office employees each Friday at the rate of $100 per day each for a five-day week that begins on
MatroZZZ [7]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

Debiting salaries Expense $400 and Crediting Salaries payable $400.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given;

1 employees earns $ 100 a day

Therefore;

2 employees will earn $ 200 a day

The month ends on Tuesday, but the two employees works on Monday and Tuesday.

  • Therefore, the month-end adjusting entry to record will be the amount earned by the two employees on the two days.

Two employees for 2 days = $200/day × 2 days

                                             = $400

  • But, salary is an expense, and in the accounts an increase in expense account is debited.
  • According to the rule of double entry, an increase in salaries expense decreases the salaries payable. Therefore, we debit salaries expense account and credit salaries payable account.
  • Therefore, the month-end adjusting entry to record the salaries earned but unpaid would be;

    Debiting salaries Expense $400 and Crediting Salaries payable $400.

Assume an analyst has been hired to estimate the price elasticity of demand for hamburger (which sells for about $2.30 per pound
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

The correct answer is B

Explanation:

The formula for computing the coefficient of price elasticity, is the factors which affect the elasticity and also elasticity is vital for business when deciding the prices.

So, Filet mignon(F) sells for $20 per pound when compared to that of hamburger (H) which sells the product for $2.30 per pound. F have the higher price as compare to the H, therefore, the coefficient of the price elasticity of demand in absolute value will be high or larger for F than that of H.
