Answer:

A) Price elasticity of demand = 8

B) PED is elastic

C) increase Danny's total revenue

Explanation:

we can calculate the price elasticity of demand using the formula:

PED = % change in quantity demanded / % change in price = [(300 - 100) / 100] / [(1.5 - 2) / 2] = (200 / 100) / (-0.5 / 2) = 2 / 0.25 = 8

if the PED is the same when the price decreases from $1 to $0.50, total revenue will    :

  • when price = $1.50, total revenue = $1.50 x 300 = $450
  • when price = $1, total revenue = $1 x 1,100 = $1,100

*a 33.33% decrease in the price will cause a 266.6% increase (= 33.33% x 8) increase in the quantity demanded = 300 units + (300 x 266.6%) = 300 + 800 = 1,100 units

An account credits interest at an effective rate of 4% for years 1-3, 5% for years 4-6, and 6% for years 7-9. Deposits of $1,000
netineya [11]

Answer:

The accumulated value of the deposits at the end of 9 years is <u>$11,242.18</u>

Explanation:

Note: Find attached the excel file for the calculation.

Since the deposits are made into the account at the end of each year, interest will be earned on the opening balance for each year since it remains the account for 12 months.

No interest will be earned on the deposit of $1,000 made at the end of each year.

The opening balance, interest earned and the deposit for each year are then added together to obtain the closing balance for each year.

Since the closing balance for year 9 is <u>$11,242.18</u>, this is therefore the accumulated value of the deposits at the end of 9 years.

k0ka [10]

Answer:

a. Determine the standard cost per unit for direct materials and direct labor.

standard direct labor rate = $20 x 30/60 minutes = $10 per faucet

standard direct materials rate = $1.80 x 2.5 lbs = $4.50 per faucet

b. Determine the direct materials price variance, direct materials quantity variance, and total direct materials cost variance.

direct materials price variance = (actual price x actual quantity) - (standard price x actual quantity) = ($1.95 x 13,000) - ($1.80 x 12,500) = $25,350 - $22,500 = $2,850 UNFAVORABLE

direct materials quantity variance = (standard price x actual quantity) -(standard price x standard quantity) = ($1.80 x 13,000) - ($1.80 x 12,500) = $23,400 - $22,500 = $900 UNFAVORABLE

total direct materials variance = direct materials price variance + direct materials quantity variance = $2,850 + $900 = $3,750 UNFAVORABLE
