Answer:

4%

Explanation:

you invest $100,000 today and purchase A$145,137.88

in one year, you will have A$152,394.78

since the PPP stands, the spot rate in one year should be:

0.703 US$ per A$ (since Australia's inflation rate is 2% higher than the US inflation rate, the Australian dollar will depreciate by 2%)

with your A$152,394.78, you can purchase $107,133.53

if you invested in the US instead, you would have $103,000

this means that your Australian investment yielded ($107,133.53 / $103,000) - 1 = 0.04 or 4%

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

The answer is b) people who have a more inelastic demand for amusement parks.

Explanation:

For this price discrimination strategy, amusement parks are aiming at people who are more willing to come to the amusement park to spend more hours at the park and does not care about entry price as much as other people who are not normally willing to visit the park; instead, may be take a try for one or two hours at the end of the day at deep discounted price.

So, high price will be charged to people less care about entry price, in other works their demand for the amusement parks is relatively more inelastic to other people.

Thus, b is the right choice.

You are the manager of a firm that produces products X and Y at zero cost. You know that different types of consumers value your
arlik [135]

Answer and Explanation:

a)

If you charge $40 for X then everyone will buy as everyone is willing to pay atleast $40. this means all three groups buy that is 3*1000 buyers.So profit from X = 3000*40= $120,000

And since everyone is willing to willing to pay atleast $60 for Y again all three groups will buy so profit from Y =3000*60=$180,000

profits=$300,000

b)

If you charge $90 and $160 for X and Y respectively you will have only 1000 buyers for each product as others are unwilling to pay this much.

So profits = 1000*90 + 1000*160=$250,000

c)

for a bundle of X and Y buyers are willing to pay a total of $150, $210 and $200 across the three categories.

So everyone will buy a bundle of 1 X and 1 Y.

profits = 150*3000= $450,000

d)

If you charge $210 only the second will buy as they are willing to pay that much so profits =1000*210=$210,000

Also by selling X at $90 group 1 will buy X; profits=1000*90=$90,000

and by selling Y at $160 group 3 will buy Y; profits=1000*160=$160,000

total profits =$460,000

A manufacturing plant is trying to determine standard production per day for an incentive program. Suppose that the incentive pr
raketka [301]

Answer:

He would receive $15 under incentive plan.

Explanation:

The given values are:

Average observed time

= 280 seconds per unit

Performance rating

= 105%

i.e.,

= 1.05

Allowance factor

= 13%

i.e.,

= 0.13

So,

⇒  Standard \ time = \frac{(Average \ observed \ time\times Performance \ rating)}{1-Allowance \ factor}

On putting the estimated values, we get

                             =\frac{(280\times 1.05)}{(1-0.13)}

                             =\frac{294}{0.87}

                             = 337.93 \ seconds

The available time will be:

= (8 \ hours\times 60 \ min/hr\times 60 \ sec/min)

= 28800  \ seconds

Now,

The Standard production per day will be:

= \frac{Available \ time}{Standard \ time}

= \frac{28800}{337.93}

= 85.22 \ units

Since he generates 100 units, he consumes about 15(00-85,22) units per day well above normal production.  

So that he's going to get:

= 15\times 1

= 15 ($)
