Answer:

The commision earned for  the broker will be of 4,860 dollars

Explanation:

<em><u>First, we solve for the selling price</u></em>

the property sold at 4% less that is

87,500 x (1 - 0.04) = 84,000

<em><u>Now we calculate the commision </u></em>

the commision is 7% on the first 50,000 and the n 4% for the rest:

50,000 x 7% = 3,500

(84,000 - 50,000) x 4% = 1,360

total commision 3,500 + 1,360 = 4,860

pochemuha

Answer:

Setups: $ 144,000

Moving materials: $72000

Machining: $22,200

Inspection:  $17,777.78

Explanation:

Goodmark Company

                Scented Cards        Regular Cards             Total

Units produced 20,000             200,000 -

Prime costs    $160,000        $1,500,000               $1,660,000

Direct labor hours 20,000       160,000                     180,000

Number of setups 60                   40                                 100

Machine hours        10,000         80,000                      90,000

Inspection hours      2,000         16,000                         18,000

Number of moves      180             120                              300

<em>First we find the rate by dividing the overhead costs with the corresponding cost driver as follows.</em>

Overhead costs:                               Rate

Setting up equipment $240,000 = Setting up equipment / Number of setups=$240,000/100=2400

Moving materials 120,000   =   Moving materials/Number of moves

                                               120,000/300=400

Machine 200,000         =   Machining/Machine hours    

                                        =  200,000/ 90,000=2.222

Inspecting   160,000  =  Inspection/Inspection hours

                                        = 160,000/18000= 8.89

<em>Now we find the overhead applied to the scented cards by multiplying the rate to the  corresponding overhead activity of the scented cards.</em>

Activity                        Rate                Scented Cards

Setups:                        2400                   2400*60=$ 144,000

Moving materials:       400                    400*180= $72000

Machining:                    2.22                  2.22*10,000=$22,200

Inspection:                   8.89                  8.89*2000= $17,777.78

You have a chance to buy an annuity that pays $550 at the beginning of each year for 3 years. You could earn 5.5% on your money
Oliga [24]

Answer:

$1,565

Explanation:

Enter the following inputs into financial calculator, we will have:

n = 3 years

Present value (PV): The amount that you should pay for the annuity. This is the missing value we need to calculate

Future value (FV): FV = 0, there is no future value of an annuity

PMT: The amount that annuity pays per year. ($850)

i/r = 5.5%: The interest you expect to receive from the annuity

PV = $1,484

Since the payment is made at the beginning of each year, you should multiply the PV amount by  (1+0.055)

The final answer would be 1,484 x 1.055 = $1,565

The most you should pay is $1,565

Ugo [173]

Answer:

A. ​doesn't lose any sales when it raises its price

Explanation:

  • As monopoly is ruled by one set of prices and they are price makers thus even f the prices rise the price will be set above the marginal cost to maximize the profits. Thus a monopoly does not lose its market share as it acts as a single dominating factor in the supply and trade of the goods and services. And it stipulates the financial dealing through a single seller.

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

To calculate the elasticity of demand, we need to use mid point elasticity theory.

According to mid point theory,

Ed = [(Q2 - Q1) / {(Q1 + Q2) / 2}] / [(P2 - P1) / {(P1 + P2) / 2}]

Where, Ed = Elasticity o demand

Q1 = Initial quantity = 100

Q2 = New Quantity = 300

P1 = Initial price = $2.75

P2 = New price = $2.25

Ed = [(300 - 100) / {(100 + 300) / 2}] / [(2.25 - 2.75) / {(2.75 + 2.25) / 2}]

Ed = - 5.

a. So, the elasticity of demand is - 5 or in absolute term 5.

b. As the value of elasticity is more than 1, that means, the elasticty over the price range in elastic.

c. From theory, we knew that, when the demand is elastic, then a decrease in price causes a increase in total revenue. Because, as the demand elasticity is elastic, so the increase in output is higher than decrease in price.

Total revenue will increase
