Answer:

C. 2.2.

Explanation:

Mid point elasticity is calculated as follows:

<em>% change in qty supplied/ % change in price</em>

<em />

<em>% change in qty supplied</em>

= (600-400)/(600+400)/2

= 0.4

<em> % change in price </em>

= (12 -10)/(12+10)/2

= 0.181

Mid point elasticity

= 0.4/0.18

=2.2

Answer: C. 2.20

Explanation:

Given the folliwing

At price(P1) = $10 per unit,

Quantity produced(Q1) = 400 units

When price(P2) = $12,

Quantity produced(Q2) = 600 units

The price elasticity of supply is used to determine how quantity supplied is affected by changes in the price of a commodity.

The midpoint method of determining price elasticity of supply :

(Percentage change in quantity supplied ÷ percentage change in price)

[(Q2-Q1) ÷((Q2+Q1)/2) ÷ (P2-P1)÷((P2+P1)/2)]

Percentage Change in quantity supplied = [(600-400)/(600+400)/2)] =200/500 = 0.4

Percentage change in price = [(12-10)/(12+10)/2]

= 2/11 = 0.1818

Therefore, price elasticity of supply = (0.4 ÷ 0.1818) = 2.20

Wassamatta University is considering resigning its minimum qualifications for professors from possessing a master's degree to po
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

c. shift the supply curve of professors to the left ceteris paribus

Explanation:

Labour Supply curve shows the labour hours,  employees or workers are willing & able to supply, at given wage rates during a period of time.

The curve is upward sloping due to positive relationship between wage rates & labour. As more labour is supplied at higher wage rate, less labour is supplied at lower wage rates.

Change in any other factor other than wages, changes (shifts) the supply curve. Factor increasing labour supply shifts the supply curve rightwards. Factor decreasing labour supply shifts the supply curve leftwards.

The case given : as increase in the minimum qualifying eligibility for the job, decreases the number of people who are 'able' to supply labour as per the criteria. So, it decreases labour supply & shifts the curve leftwards.

Coyne Corporation is evaluating a capital investment opportunity. This project would require an initial investment of $ 39 comma
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

NPV = $49,234.16

Explanation:

The Net present value (NPV) is the difference between the Present value (PV) of cash inflows and the PV of cash outflows. A positive NPV implies a good investment  project and a negative figure implies the opposite.  

NPV of an investment:  

NPV = PV of Cash inflows - PV of cash outflow  

<em>Present value of cash inflows:</em>

A × 1-(1+r)^(-n)/r

A- annual cash inflow-20,000   r-rate of return-10%, n-number of years-6

PV of cash flow = 20,000 × (1.1)^(-6)/0.1 = 87,105.21399

<em>PV of scrap value</em>

F×  (1+r)^(-n)

F- scrap value

= 2,000× 1.1^(-6)= 1,128.94

Initial cost = $39,000

NPV = 87,105.21399 + 1,128.94 -39,000=   $49,234.16  

NPV = $49,234.16
