Answer:

2.20

Explanation:

The Price elasticity will be:

Δdemand/ΔPrice

<u>The mid point is used to calculate the increases.</u>

Δdemand = ΔQ/midpointQ

(Q2+Q1)/2 = mid point quantity = (300+ 200)/2 = 250

ΔQ = 300-200 = 100

Δdemand = 100/250 = 0.4

<u>Same procedure is applied with the Price numbers:</u>

Δprice = ΔP/midpointP

(P2+P1)/2 = mid point price = (3+ 2.5)/2 = 2.75

ΔP = 2.5-3 = 0.5

Δprice = 0.5 / 2.75 = 0.181818

FInally we calculate the price elasticity:

Δdemand/ΔPrice

0.4/0.1818181818 = 2.2

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer: Sell before assembly, the company will be better off by $1 per unit.

Explanation:

To solve the above question, we need to calculate the incremental profit or loss first. This will be:

= After assembling sales value - Unassembled unit sales value - Coat if further processing

= $87 - $62 - $26

= -$1

Since there is an incremental loss of $1, then the correct answer is "Sell before assembly, the company will be better off by $1 per unit".

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

Direct material quantity (efficiency) variance= $60,500 unfavorable

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Standards:

Direct​ materials: 1 pound per​ unit; $ 11 per pound

Allen produced 2,000 units during the quarter.

Direct material used= 7,500 pounds

To calculate the direct material efficiency variance, we need to use the following formula:

Direct material quantity (efficiency) variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price

standard quantity= 2,000*1= 2,000 pounds

Direct material quantity (efficiency) variance= (2,000 - 7,500)*11

Direct material quantity (efficiency) variance= $60,500 unfavorable

It is unfavorable because the company used more materials that estimated to produce 2,000 units.

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

7.7 per direct labor hour

Explanation:

Number of direct labor hours = 700,000 / 25

Number of direct labor hours = 28,000 labor hours

Overhead cost = Shop and repair equipment depreciation + Shop supervisor salaries + Shop property taxes + Shop supplies

Overhead cost = 46,100 + 128,300 + 23,300  + 17,900

Overhead cost = 215,600

Predetermined overhead rate = Overhead cost/Direct labor hours

= 215,600 / 28,000 labor hours

= 7.7 per direct labor hour
