Answer:

midpoint method for income elasticity of demand = {ΔQD / [(QD₀ + QD₁)/2]} / {ΔI / [(I₀ + I₁)/2]}

midpoint method for price elasticity of demand = {ΔQD / [(QD₀ + QD₁)/2]} / {ΔP / [(P₀ + P₁)/2]}

a) I will use the information from January and February to calculate the price elasticity of demand of Coke. I cannot use March instead of January because income increased during that month.

QD₀ = 14

QD₁ = 10

P₀ = 2.40

P₁ = 3

PED = {(10 - 14) / [(14 + 10)/2]} / {(3 - 2.4) / [(3 + 2.4)/2]}

PED = {-4 / 12} / {0.6 / 2.7} = -0.3333 / 0.2222 = -1.5 or |1.5| in absolute terms

Coke's PED is elastic since a 1% change in price will result in a larger proportional change in the quantity demanded.

b) I will use the information from January and March to calculate the income elasticity of demand of Coke. These are the two months where income changes but price of Coke remains the same.

QD₀ = 14

QD₁ = 20

I₀ = 300

I₁ = 500

PED = {(20 - 14) / [(14 + 20)/2]} / {(500 - 300) / [(300 + 500)/2]}

PED = {6 / 17} / {200 / 400} = 0.3529 / 0.5 = 0.71

Coke's IED is positive, therefore, Coke is a normal good.

Suppose that market demand is Q = 660 – 12P and marginal cost is MC = 5. The consumer surplus in a perfectly competitive market
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer: 15000; 3750

Explanation:

From the question,

Q = 660 – 12P

MC = 5

The consumer surplus in a perfectly competitive market will be:

P = MC

Therefore, P = 5

Q = 660 - 12P = 660 - 12(5) = 660 - 60 = 600

Consumer surplus = 1/2 × (55 - 5) (600)

= 1/2 × 50 × 600

= 15,000

For monopoly, MR = MC

Total Revenue = P × Q

Since Q= 660 - 12P

P = (660 - Q)/12

TR = P × Q

= (660 - Q)/12 × Q

= (660Q- Q²)/12 × Q

MR = (660 - 2Q)/12

MR = MC

(660 - 2Q)/12 = 5

(660 - 2Q) = 5 × 12

660 - 2Q = 60

2Q = 660 - 60

2Q = 600

Q = 600/2

Q= 300

Since P =(660 - Q)/12

= (660 - 300)/12

= 360/12

= 30

Consumer surplus = 1/2 × (55 - 30) (30)

= 1/2 × 25 × 300

= 3750

Therefore, the answer is 15000; 3750

Wisconsin Company collected $42,000 cash on its accounts receivable. The effects of this transaction are: Multiple Choice Both t
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Option Total assets, total liabilities, and equity are unchanged.

Explanation:

The reason is that the double entry to record this transaction is as under:

Dr Cash Account       $42,000

Cr Accounts Receivable $42,000

Hence there increase in one asset and decrease in other asset will have zero net impact on assets. As equity and liabilities are not effected by the transaction, hence they will also remain unchanged.

If the company budgets to need 4000 units to sell for a month, has a beginning inventory of 1000 units and a desired ending inve
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

5,500 units

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Given that

Need to sell the units in a month = 4,000 units

Beginning inventory = 1,000 units

Desired ending inventory = 2,500 units

So, by considering the above information, the units to be produced is

= Desired ending inventory + need to sell the units in a month - beginning inventory

= 2,500 units + 4,000 units - 1,000 units

= 5,500 units

const2013 [10]

Question not complete

Direct Labour Cost is missing

Direct Labor Cost ----- $50,000.00 $270,000.00

Answer:

a.

Overhead Rate (Cutting Department) = $5.5 per machine hour = $5.5 per machine hour

Overhead Rate (Finishing Department) = $12.2 per labour hour

b. Total Manufacturing Cost = $644

c. Yes

Explanation:

a. Compute the predetermined overhead rate to be used in each department.

Given

Cutting Department

The Cutting Department bases its rate on machine-hours

Manufacturing Overhead Costs = $264,000

Machine Hours = 48,000

Finishing Department

The Finishing Department bases its rate on direct labor-hours.

Manufacturing Overhead Costs = $366,000

Direct Labour Cost = $270,000

Overhead Rate (Cutting Department) = Manufacturing Overhead Cost/Machine Hours

Overhead Rate (Cutting Department) = $264,000/48,000

Overhead Rate (Cutting Department) = $5.5 per machine hour

Overhead Rate (Finishing Department) = Manufacturing Overhead Cost/Machine Hours

Overhead Rate (Finishing Department) = $366,000/$270,000

Overhead Rate (Finishing Department) = 1.36

Overhead Rate (Finishing Department) = 136% direct labour cost

b.

The Cutting Department bases its rate on machine-hours

Given

Machine hours = 80 machine hours

Overhead Rate = $5.5 per machine hours ------ Calculated

The Finishing Department bases its rate on direct labor-hours.

Given

Direct Labour Cost = 150

Overhead Rate = 136% labour cost ------ Calculated

Overhead Applied (Cutting Department) = 80 * 5.5

Overhead Applied = 440

Overhead Applied (Finishing Department) = 136% * 150

Overhead Applied = $204

Total Overhead Applied = $440 + $204

Total = $644

c. Yes

If they use a plantwide rate based on direct labor cost and if the jobs has longer machine hours and small amount of labor cost they will be charged less overhead cost.
