One of the more important business applications of demand elasticity is the relationship between price and total revenue. For ea

ch of the following three scenarios, specify whether demand is elastic, inelastic, or unitary elastic.(a) Your local movie theater earns a total revenue of $40,000 per month when the price of a movie ticket is $8, and it earns a total revenue of $35,000 when the price of a movie ticket is $10. Demand is _______.

Answer:

Part 1.  inelastic.

Part 2. inelastic.

Part 3. inelastic.

Explanation:

When the coefficient of elasticity of demand is less than 1, demand is inelastic, when it is equal to 1, demand is unitary elastic, when it is greater than 1, demand is elastic, and when it is equal to zero demand is perfectly inelastic.

Part 1

Price Elasticity of demand =  (dQ/dP) x P/Q

  Where : dQ = Change in Quantity

               dP = Change in Price

                 P = Initial or Old price

                 Q = Initial of Old Quantity

               dQ = $35,000 - $40,000 = - $5,000

                dP = $10 - $8 = $2

                  P = $8  

                  Q = $40,000  

Price Elasticity of demand = (-$5,000/$2) * $8/ $40,000

                       = 2,500 * 1/5000 = -0.5

Disregard the minus sign,  since elasticity of demand is less than 1, demand is inelastic.

Part 2

Price Elasticity of demand =  (dQ/dP) x P/Q

                dQ = $1,800 - $2,000 = - $200

                dP = $50 - $40  = $10

                  P = $40

                  Q = $2,000  

Price Elasticity of demand = (-$200/$10) * $40/ $2,000

                       = 20 * 0.02 = -0.4

Disregard the minus sign,  since elasticity of demand is less than 1, demand is inelastic.

Part 3

Price Elasticity of demand =  (dQ/dP) x P/Q

                dQ = $120 - $150 = - $30

                dP = $5 - $4  = $1

                  P = $4

                  Q = $150

Price Elasticity of demand = (-$30/$1) * $4/ $150

                       = 30 * 2/75 = - 0.8

Disregard the minus sign  since elasticity of demand is less than 1, demand is inelastic.

I’d say A as b and c don’t make a lot of sense in the context. For example look at your staff, if some people excel working alone place those people in roles where they are personally responsible for that one thing. If others need a group of people to increase productivity then place a group of people together that you think will work well in charge of a bigger project. I hope that helps!

Current operating income for Bay Area Cycles Co. is $74,000. Selling price per unit is $120, the contribution margin ratio is 30
NeX [460]

Answer:

1. 6,944 units and $833,333.33

2.  $1,080,000 and  22.83%

Explanation:

The computations are shown below:

1. Break-even point in units

= (Fixed expenses ) ÷ (Contribution margin per unit)  

where,  

Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit × contribution margin ratio

= $250,000 ÷ $36

= 6,944 units

Break-even point in sales

= (Fixed expenses ) ÷ (Contribution margin ratio)  

= $250,000 ÷ 30%

= $833,333.33

2. For margin of safety and margin of safety ratio:

Margin of safety = Expected sales - break even sales

where,

Expected sales = (Operating income + fixed expense) ÷ (contribution margin ratio)

= ($74,000 + $250,000)

= ($324,000) ÷ (30%)

= $1,080,000

So, the margin of safety would be

= $1,080,000 - $833,333.33

= $246,667

Margin of safety ratio = Margin of safety ÷ total sales

                                      = $246,667 ÷ $1,080,000

                                      = 22.83%

At the beginning of the year, a firm had current assets of $121,306 and current liabilities of $124,509. At the end of the year,
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

E $21,903

Explanation:

Formula:

Net working capital: Current assets - Current liabilities

At the beginning of the year the net working capital was:

Net working capital: Current assets - Current liabilities

Net working capital: 121,306 - 124,509

Net working capital: -3,203

At the end of the year the net working capital was:

Net working capital: Current assets - Current liabilities

Net working capital: 122,418 - 103,718

Net working capital: 18,700

The difference between the beginning and final net working capital was:

Difference: Final NWC - Inicial NWC

Difference: 18,700 - (-3,203)

Difference: 18700 + 3,203

Difference: 21,903

Suppose investors can earn a return of 2% per 6 months on a Treasury note with 6 months remaining until maturity. The face value
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

Price of treasury bill = $9,803.92

Explanation:

<em>The price of the treasury note would be the present value of the future receivable on maturity discounted at the rate of return of 2% per six-month.</em>

The formula is FV = PV × (1+r)^(n)

PV = Present Value- ?

FV - Future Value, - 10,000

n- number of years- 1/2

r- interest rate - 2%

PV = 10,000 × (1.02)^(-1)

PV = 9,803.92

Price of treasury bill = $9,803.92
