When the price of a bar of chocolate is $1.00, the quantity demanded is 100,000 bars. When the price rises to $1.50, the quantit

y demanded falls to 60,000 bars. Calculate the price elasticity of demand using the mid-point method. Instructions: Round your answers to two decimal places. If you are entering any negative numbers be sure to include a negative sign (-) in front of those numbers. a. Suppose the price increases from $1.00 to $1.50. The price elasticity of demand is: -1.25 . b. Suppose the price decreases from $1.50 to $1.00. The price elasticity of demand is: -1.25 .

Answer:

a. -1.25

b. -1.25

Explanation:

Price elasticity is used to measure the change in demand as a result of a change in price.

Formula is;

= % change in Quantity/ % change in Price

a. Suppose the price increases from $1.00 to $1.50. The price elasticity of demand is:

% change in Quantity using the midpoint formula;

=\frac{Q2 - Q1}{\frac{Q1 + Q2}{2} } \\\\= \frac{60,000 - 100,000}{\frac{100,000 + 60,000}{2}} \\\\= -0.5

% Change in Price using midpoint formula

=\frac{P2 - P1}{\frac{P1 + P2}{2} } \\\\= \frac{1.5 - 1.00}{\frac{1.00 + 1.50}{2} } \\\\= 0.4

= -0.5/0.4

= -1.25

b. Suppose the price decreases from $1.50 to $1.00. The price elasticity of demand is:

% change in Quantity using the midpoint formula;

=\frac{Q2 - Q1}{\frac{Q1 + Q2}{2} } \\\\= \frac{100,000 - 60,000}{\frac{100,000 + 60,000}{2}} \\\\= 0.5

% Change in Price using midpoint formula

=\frac{P2 - P1}{\frac{P1 + P2}{2} } \\\\= \frac{1.00 - 1.50}{\frac{1.00 + 1.50}{2} } \\\\= -0.4

= 0.5/-0.4

= -1.25

In preparing a responsibility income statement that shows contribution margin and responsibility margin, two concepts are involv
Ivenika [448]

Answer: Whether the costs are variable or fixed and whether they are directly traceable to the responsibility center.

Explanation:

The Responsibility Income Statement is one where the different centers in a business have their own sub income statement so that the activities of each center and their profitability is measured and monitored.

In this statement, costs are classified as Variable and Fixed so it is important that it is known whether the costs are variable or fixed.

As the statements are per center, the costs in them would have to be only those that are directly traceable to that center so that a truer reflection of the statements can be seen.

kupik [55]

Answer:

$192,000

Explanation:

Calculation for What is the value of ending inventory under variable costing

Using this formula

Value of ending inventory =[(Direct materials+Direct labor+Variable overhead+(Fixed overhead/Units produced)×Ending units in inventory]

Let plug in the formula

Value of ending inventory=[($6+ $4+ $5 + ($234,000/26,000 units) ×8,000 units]

Value of ending inventory= ($15 units+$9 units)×8,000 units

Value of ending inventory=$24 per units×8,000 units

Value of ending inventory = $192,000

Therefore the value of ending inventory under variable costing will be $192,000

In the case discussed, the Supreme Court held that the trademark for Coca-Cola was valid and banned another company from using a
lakkis [162]

Answer:

The Supreme Court ruled that the name Coke was so well known around the world, that it is effectively a common term for the trademarked Coca Cola. If other companies try to use similar terms like Koke for other types of products, e.g. bakery items, there is a risk that the Coca Cola company would be negatively affected by that product's image since consumers might associate Koke directly to Coca Cola.

It doesn't matter if the products were low quality or not, the courts cannot determine that, what matters is that the use of the term may negatively impact another company.

amid [387]

Answer:

$300,000

Explanation:

Although the property dividend was distributed on January 15, year 6. the <u>amount that will be used is the value of the shares as at the declaration date and not the distribution date </u>

Hence, since the aggregate market price of the tell shares held by bain was $300,000. on the declaration date, the entry to record the declaration of the dividend should include a debit to retained earnings (or property dividends declared) of $300,000
