Answer:

Total revenue would rise in the short run

Explanation:

A price elascitiy of 0.4 indicates that demand is inelastic.

Inelastic demand means that a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of inelastic demand is less than 1.

If the cost of the crude oil increases, the price of gasoline would increase too. Because demand is price inelastic , there would be little or no change in the quantity demanded of gasoline as a result total revenue would increase as a result of the rise in price.

I hope my answer helps you

Given the following, calculate total manufacturing costs: Direct materials: $40,000; Direct labor: $100,000; Manufacturing overh
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

cost of goods manufactured= $278,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Direct materials: $40,000

Direct labor: $100,000

Manufacturing overhead applied: $120,000

Beginning Work in process inventory: $30,000

Ending Work in process inventory: $12,000

<u>To calculate the total manufacturing costs, we need to use the following formula:</u>

cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP

cost of goods manufactured= 30,000 + 40,000 + 100,000 + 120,000 - 12,000

cost of goods manufactured= $278,000

The following information is available for the month of April from the First department of the Armque Corporation: Units Work in
miskamm [114]

Answer:

Direct Materials = 340,000

Direct Labor       = 304,000

Explanation:

The concept of equivalent units measures the number of units to the extend of completion  of inputs added to outputs during the production.

The first step is to determine the units completed and transferred.

units completed and transferred = opening work in process + started during the year - closing work in process

                                                      = 90,000 + 250,000 - 60,000

                                                      = 280,000

then determine the equivalent units of production with respect to direct materials and conversion costs.

<u>Direct Materials</u>

Note : Materials are added in the beginning of the process thus 100 % in all categories.

units completed and transferred (280,000 × 100%) = 280,000

units of closing work in process (60,000 × 100%)    =   60,000

Total                                                                             =  340,000

<u>Conversion Cost</u>

units completed and transferred (280,000 × 100%) = 280,000

units of closing work in process (60,000 × 40%)    =     24,000

Total                                                                             =  304,000

Discuss whether or not consumers benefit more from a market economic system or a mixed economic system. *
storchak [24]

Answer:

compared to a mixed economy, a market economy tends to benefit the consumers.

This is mainly because the government intervention and restrictions are minimum in a market economy, compared to a mixed economy in which the government plays a major part as an economic agent and a regulator.

A free market system's main aim is to enhance  the competitions and the freedom of choice for the consumers.

However, in the real world scenarios, pure free market systems are difficult to be seen and most of the time, the economies are Mixed economies.

Even in USA's economy 40% of the economy consists of the government agencies and activities.

This is mainly due to the economic malpractices by the producers and corporations.
