Nastasia [14]

Answer:

D. Tasha: "If coffee drinkers expect the price of coffee to rise next month, then current demand will go up and lead to a price increase this month."

This is the only one with incorrect economic analysis

Explanation:

A. is correct because a shortage of supply would drop the price as we can see in the Graph 1 with the supply curve.

B. is correct because if the two goods are substitues then a lower price for caffeinated soft drinks like Mountain Dew would cause the consumer demand for coffe to go down because the consumers would prefer the good with lower price, rising the demand for Mountain dow in detriment of coffe.

C. is correct as we can see in the Graph 1, the increse in the demand would generate a higher price but it would make the demand go back to D1

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

(C) doing both of the above

Explanation:

When dealers "make a market", they do so by providing liquidity in a market that may lack such. Liquidity measures the ease with which participants can buy and sell in a market. Thus, by making a market, a dealer buys stocks for inventory when investors want to sell, and sells stocks from inventory when investors want to buy.

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

1) NOI = $90,240

2) NOI = 29,250

3) NOI = 133,260

4) NOI = 110,190

Explanation:

The question is incomplete.

Sales (38,000 units) $342,000 ($9.00 per unit)

Variable expenses $228,000 ($6.00 per unit)

Contribution margin $114,000 ($3.00 per unit)

Fixed expenses $42,000

Net operating income $72,000

1. What is the revised net operating income if unit sales increase by 16%

If unit sales increase, we can calculate this with a 16% increase in the contribution margin.

$NOI=CM*(1+0.16)-FE=114,000*1.16-42,000=132,240-42,000\\\\NOI=90,240$

2. What is the revised net operating income if the selling price decreases by $1.50 per unit and the number of units sold increases by 25%?

A reduction of $1.50 in price means a reduction of the same amount in the contribution margin per unit (CMu), as the variable expenses stay the same .

Also, the contribution margin increases by 25%, for the increase in units sold (q).

$NOI=CM_u*q-FE=(3.00-1.50)*(38,000*1.25)-42,000\\\\NOI=1.5*47,500-42,000=71,250-42,000\\\\NOI=29,250$

3. What is the revised net operating income if the selling price increases by $1.50 per unit, fixed expenses increase by $6,000, and the number of units sold decreases by 6%?

The selliing price will be added to the contribution margin per unit.

The units sold are increased 6%.

$NOI=CMu*q-FE=(3.00+1.50)*38,000*1.06-(42,000+6,000)\\\\NOI=4.5*40,280-48,000=181,260-48,000\\\\NOI=133,260$

4. What is the revised net operating income if the selling price per unit increases by 20%, variable expenses increase by 30 cents per unit, and the number of units sold decreases by 11%?

The contribution margin per unit, with a increase in price and an increase in variable cost, becomes:

$CM_u=P-VE_u=9.00*(1.20)-(6.00+0.30)=10.80-6.30=4.50$

The units sold is now:

$q'=(1-0.11)q=0.89q=0.89*38,000=33,820$

Then, the net operating income becomes:

$NOI=CM_u*q-FE=4.5*33,820-42,000=152,190-42,000\\\\NOI=110,190$
