Total cost                                                    $486,000   $711,600 $1,197,600

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                                Service Departments               Operating Departments

                 Administration Janitorial Maintenance     Binding      Printing    Total

Costs          $168,000        $126,000     $57,600     $330,000  $516,000   $1,197,600

Number of

employees           60                    35              140              315         210    760

Square feet of

space occupied 15,000       10,000       20,000        40,000      100,000    185,000

Hours of

press time                                                                     30,000      60,000     90,000

Allocation bases:

Administration cost = Number of employees 525

Janitorial cost = Square feet 140,000

Maintenance cost = Hours of press time 90,000

Allocation Rates and to Operating Departments:

Administration $168,000/525 = $320 per employee

Binding = 315 * $320 = $100,800

Printing = 210 * $320 = $67,200

Janitorial costs = $126,000/140,000 = $0.90 per square feet

Binding = 40,000 * $0.90 = $36,000

Printing = 100,000 * $0.90 = $90,000

Maintenance costs = $57,600/90,000 = $0.64 per press hour

Binding = 30,000 * $0.64 = $19,200

Printing = 60,000 * $0.64 = $38,400

¿Un producto tiene una EPD de 0,73. Qué podemos decir acerca de la Elasticidad de este producto? Explique.
kifflom [539]

Answer:

En este caso, EPD tiene un valor de 0,73, siendo menor que 1. Por lo que la demanda del bien es inelástica y la cantidad demandada aumenta (disminuye) en menor proporción de lo que baja (sube) el precio.

Explanation:

La elasticidad precio de la demanda (EPD) indica en qué medida los cambios en el precio alteran la demanda de productos o servicios concretos. En otras palabras, la elasticidad precio de la demanda señala cuánto varía la cantidad demandada de un bien cuando varía su precio.

Se calcula comparando el valor porcentual del cambio en el precio con el del correspondiente cambio en la demanda. Es decir, se define como el cambio porcentual en la cantidad demandada dividido por el cambio porcentual en el precio.

Si la EPD > 1, se dice que la demanda del bien es elástica y la cantidad demandada aumenta (disminuye) en mayor proporción en que baja (sube) el precio.  La cantidad demandada aumenta (disminuye) en mayor proporción en que baja (sube) el precio.

Si la EPD < 1, se dice que la demanda del bien es inelástica y la cantidad demandada aumenta (disminuye) en menor proporción de lo que baja (sube) el precio. La demanda de un bien es inelástica cuando la reacción de los consumidores ante un cambio en el precio no es significativa.

Si la EPD = 1, se dice que la demanda del bien tiene elasticidad unitaria y la cantidad demandada aumenta (disminuye) en la misma proporción en que baja (sube) el precio.

<u><em>En este caso, EPD tiene un valor de 0,73, siendo menor que 1. Por lo que la demanda del bien es inelástica y la cantidad demandada aumenta (disminuye) en menor proporción de lo que baja (sube) el precio. </em></u>

AleksAgata [21]

A scale used to weigh produce at a market has markings every<u> 0.1 kg</u>

Measurement for the mass of a dozen apples is correctly reported for this scale<u> </u><u>1.87 </u><u>kg</u>

<u />

<h3>What is produced in the market?</h3>

Farm is a generalized term for many farm-produced crops, including fruits and vegetables (grains, oats, etc.

<h3>Why is it named produce?</h3>

Produce here refers to “fresh fruits and vegetables”. It's the noun understanding of that word, not the verb, and so its stress falls on the first syllable. Therefore the vegetables aisle is the place where such items are found.

marin [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

Gross profit equals net sales minus cost of sales(Net sales- Cost of Sales).

Net sales = $325,000

Cost of Sales = $240,500

Therefore we have;

$325,000 - $240,500

=$84,500

Gross profit ratio is (Gross profit/net sales) x 100%

($84,500 x $325,000) x 100%

26%
