Answer:

C) i and ii

Explanation:

Price elastic of demand (PED) of kerosene = 2.2% / 10% = 0.22 price inelastic demand

When two products are substitutes, an increase in the price of one of the products will not only reduce the quantity demanded of that product, but it will also increase the quantity demanded of its substitute products. In this case, an increase in the price of electricity, increases the quantity demanded for kerosene, which means that they are both substitute products.

Suppose that the United States fixes the dollar-pound exchange rate. In the process of maintaining the fixed exchange rate, if t
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

the fixed dollar-pound exchange rate is consistently below the equilibrium exchange rate that would be produced by a private foreign exchange market.

Explanation:

Fixing an exchange rate means that the government is trying to intervene in valuation of its currency. It is fixing it's currencie's rate to another and using reserves to handle fluctuations in market price.

When the fixed rate is below equillibrum there is surplus of the countrie's currency at the fixed rate. The government will buy this surplus (if not the value will fall) by selling their foreign currency reserves. This is done to maintain the fixed exchange rate.

Reduced reserves of pounds noticed by the Central bank is as a result of fixed price below equilibrium.

Total contribution       $540                   $18,900                $19,440

Fixed overhead              0                        10,800                  10,800

Profit                           $540                     $8,100                  $8,640

Profits increased by $540 with the special order.

b. The lowest price per sandwich at which this special order  of 400 sandwiches can be filled without reducing MTA's profits is $4.05.  This is equal to the unit variable cost.  At this price, neither profit will be generated nor loss incurred from the special order.

Explanation:

Cost of each sandwich:

Materials                             $ 2.70

Labor                                     0.90

Variable overhead                0.45

Fixed overhead

($10,800 per month,

6,000 units per month)       1.80

Total costs per sandwich $ 5.85

b) Computation of total profit for special order and regular production:

                                      Special Order     Regular Production   Total

Selling price =                           $5.40         7.20

Variable (Relevant) cost:

Labor                           0.90

Variable overhead      0.45      $4.05        $4.05

Contribution per unit                $1.35         $3.15

Total contribution ($1.35*400) $540     $18,900  ($3.15*6,000)   $19,440

Fixed overhead                                                                                  10,800

Profit                                                                                                  $8,640
