Answer:

price elasticity of supply (PES) = % change in quantity supplied / % change in price

  • PES = -0.8
  • % change in quantity supplied = -5%

-5% = -0.8 / % change in price

% change in price = -0.8 / -5% = 16%

we are not given the initial price of the golf balls and I looked for similar questions but couldn't find any. But assuming that the initial price is $1, then the new price = $1 x (1 + 16%) = $1.16. If the initial price was $2, then new price = $2 x (1 + 16%) = $2.32. And son on.

Answer:

$92,000

Explanation:

As we can see that the $92,000 is requisitioned i.e. transferred to the WIP inventory so the same is to be reflected in the credit amount

Hence, the credit to the raw material account is made for $92,000

We assume that requisitioned word is used instead of removal

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

Increase in income= $20,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Marigold Corp. manufactures a product with a unit variable cost of $100 and a unit sales price of $181. Fixed manufacturing costs were $480000 when 10000 units were produced and sold. The company has a one-time opportunity to sell an additional 1000 units at $120 each in a foreign market which would not affect its present sales.

We will not have into account the fixed costs, because there is unused capacity.

Increase in income= contribution margin * units sold

Increase in income= (120 - 100) * 1000= $20,000
