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.

Consider two neighboring island countries called Euphoria and Contente. They each have 4 million labor hours available per week
liubo4ka [24]

Explanation:

here is an explanation and solution to your question

For Euphoria:

The opportunity cost of producing a unit of rye in terms of jeans =20/5 = 4

for contente:

The opportunity cost of producing a unit of rye in terms of jeans = 16/8 = 2

opportunity cost of producing 1 unit of jean in terms of unit of rye:

for euphoria = 5/20 = 1/4

for contente = 8/16 = 1/2

1.

Euphoria's opportunity cost of producing a a bushel of rye is 4 pairs of jeans.

contentes opportunity cost of producing a bushel of rye is 2 pairs of jeans.

2.

contente has comparative advantage in producing rye

euphoria has comparative advantage in jeans production

3

contente produces 8 bushels of rye so with 4 million hours of labor = 8x4 = 32 million bushels in a week.

euphoria 20 pairs of jean in a week, using 4 million hours of labor. 20x4 = 80 pairs of jean a week

Which of the following is NOT one of the three big categories for periodic evaluations:
Lilit [14]

The category that does not belong to the periodic evaluation is Change Analysis.

Option D is the correct answer.

<h3>What is a periodic evaluation?</h3>

Periodic evaluation is a technique that is totally developmental in nature and disregards the formal advice relating to tenure, retention, or promotion of employees.

Periodic evaluation has three broad categories namely, hazard analysis, safety, and health-related inspections, and evaluation relating to personal protective equipment (PPE).

Therefore, out of the provided options, Change analysis is not considered a category for periodic evaluation.

Precision Systems manufactures CD burners and currently sells 18,500 units annually to producers of laptop computers. Jay Wilson
hram777 [196]

Answer:

a. What increase in the selling price is necessary to cover the 15 percent increase in direct labor cost and still maintain the current contribution margin ratio of 40 percent?

estimated production costs per unit:

direct materials $10

direct labor $23

overhead $30

total $63

if we want contribution margin to remain at 40%, then selling price = $63 / (1 - 40%) = <u>$105</u>

to verify our answer, contribution margin = $105 - $63 = $42 / $105 = 40%

b. How many units must be sold to maintain the current operating income of $350,000 if the sales price remains at $100 and the 15 percent wage increase goes into effect?

if sales price doesn't change, then contribution margin = $37 (not $40)

units sold to keep profit at $350,000 = ($350,000 + $390,000) / $37 = <u>20,000 units per year</u>

c. Wilson believes that an additional $700,000 of machinery (to be depreciated at 20 percent annually) will increase present capacity (20,000 units) by 25 percent. If all units produced can be sold at the present price of $100 per unit and the wage increase goes into effect, how would the estimated operating income before capacity is increased compare with the estimated operating income after capacity is increased? Prepare schedules of estimated operating income at full capacity before and after the expansion.

working at full capacity, sales price $100 (unchanged) and direct labor costs increasing by 15%

                                          capacity 20,000          capacity 25,000

sales revenue                     $2,000,000                  $2,500,000

direct labor                          $460,000                      $575,000

direct materials                   $200,000                      $250,000

overhead                             $600,000                      $750,000

fixed costs                      <u>     $390,000      </u>          <u>      $670,000       </u>

operating revenue              $350,000                      $255,000

The expansion will result in lower operating profits ($95,000 less) so it should be discarded.
