When the price of milk goes up, demand does not fall significantly, because people still need to buy milk. However, if the price

of T-bone steaks rises beyond a certain point, people will buy fewer of them because they can turn to the many substitutes for this cut of meat. This refers to price elasticity of demand.

Answer:

A. True

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand indicates how the changes in the price of a commodity affect its demand. Price elasticity is a measure of how the demand for a good or responds to changes in prices. Goods or service is said to be price elastic if a small change in price has a substantial effect on the quantities demanded.

A product is price-inelastic when a  change in prices does not have a big impact on its demand. in other words, the demand for that product is not affected by changes in price. Milk is price inelastic as people changes in its price has little effect on demand. People still need milk; a small change in price will not stop them from consuming it.

Break-Even Sales Under Present and Proposed Conditions
solong [7]

Answer:

<h3>Portmann Company</h3>

1. Total variable costs = $89,000,000

Total fixed costs = $40,600,000

2. a Unit variable cost = $89

b. Unit contribution margin = $100

3. Break-even sales (units) = Fixed cost/Contribution margin per unit

= $40,600,000/$100

= 406,000 units

4. Break-even sales (units) = Fixed cost/Contribution margin per unit

= $45,100,000/$100

= 451,000 units

5. Break-even sales (units) to achieve target profit = (Fixed cost + Target Profit)/Contribution margin per unit

= ($45,100,000 + $59,400,000)/$100

= 1,045,000 units

6. Maximum operating income possible with the expanded plant is:

= $61,900,000

7. Operating income if the proposal is accepted and sales remain at the current level is:

= $54,900,000

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Sales volume during current year = 1,000,000

Sales price per unit during current year = $189

Income statement is as follows:

Sales                                $189,000,000

Cost of goods sold           (101,000,000)

Gross profit                      $88,000,000

Expenses:

Selling expenses             $16,000,000

Administrative expenses  12,600,000

Total expenses                (28,600,000)

Operating income          $59,400,000

                                      Variable    Fixed

Cost of goods sold           70%        30%

Selling expenses              75%        25%

Administrative expenses 50%        50%

Total variable costs for the current year:

                                      Variable  

Cost of goods sold           70% * $101,000,000 = $70,700,000

Selling expenses              75% * $16,000,000 =     12,000,000

Administrative expenses 50% * $12,600,000 =      6,300,000

Total variable costs = $89,000,000

Variable unit cost = $89 ($89,000,000/1,000,000)

Contribution per unit = $100 ($189 - $89)

Total fixed costs for the current year:

                                          Fixed

Cost of goods sold             30% * $101,000,000 = $30,300,000

Selling expenses                25% * $16,000,000  =      4,000,000

Administrative expenses   50% * $12,600,000 =       6,300,000

Total fixed costs =  $40,600,000

Projected sales for the next year = $202,230,000 ($189,000,000 + $13,230,000)

Percentage Increase in sales for the next year = $13,250,000/$189,000,000 * 100 = 7%

Fixed costs caused by expansion = $4,500,000

Total fixed costs = $45,100,000 ($40,600,000 + $4,500,000)

Variable costs = $95,230,000 ($89,000,000 * 1.07)

Contribution margin:

Sales                                $202,230,000

Variable costs                      95,230,000

Contribution margin        $107,000,000

Expenses:

Fixed costs                          45,100,000

Operating income            $61,900,000

Sales volume = 1,070,000 units (1,000,000 * 1.07)

Contribution per unit = $107,000,000/1,070,000 = $100

Sales at current level:

Sales                                $189,000,000

Variable costs                     89,000,000

Contribution                    $100,000,000

Fixed costs                          45,100,000  

Operating income           $54,900,000

The market for chewing gum is in equilibrium with a current price of 50 cents per pack and a quantity of 100,000 packs per day.
frez [133]

Answer:

A) an increase in the price of other kinds of candy

Explanation:

If the price of substitute products (other types of candy) increases, then the suppliers of chewing gum can increase their price without the quantity demanded decreasing. If the decrease in the price of chewing gum is smaller than the increase in the price of substitute products, the quantity demanded will increase.

If there was a price increase of the main ingredients used to produce chewing gum, then the supply curve would shift to the left (option B is wrong).

If the workers signed an agreement that lowered their wages, then the supply curve would shift to the right (option C is wrong).

A decrease in the number of young people in the market would decrease the quantity demanded for chewing gum, which in turn would decrease the equilibrium price (option D is wrong).

A decrease in income would also decrease the quantity demanded, which would in turn decrease the equilibrium price (option E is wrong).
