Answer:

Explanation:

In response to the price rise from $50 to $60, the quantity demanded of product X  drops from 400 to 300 units. We know that price elasticity of demand is a measure of the responsiveness of changes in demand as a result of a price change. Thus,

% change in price = \frac{Change in price}{Average of the prices}

          = \frac{60-55}{55} = 0.1818

% Change in Quantity demanded

=\frac{Change in quantity demanded}{Average quantity demanded}

= \frac{300-400}{350}

= -0.2857

Thus,

Price elasticity of demand = \frac{percentage change in quantity demanded}{percentage change in price}

= \frac{-0.2857}{0.1818}

= -1.5715

Therefore, the price elasticity of demand = -1.5715

Because education has spillover benefits, the private market will: a. underallocate resources to education. b. overallocate reso
sammy [17]

Answer: produce the socially optimum amount of education

Explanation:

Spillover benefits simply refers to the free benefits which are gotten by third parties due to the actions of other people.

In this case, because education has spillover benefits, the private market will produce the socially optimum amount of education. This is the equilibrium achieved based on the spillover effects from the education.

The output level that reflects all the costs and benefits associated with a transaction i.e. it is the equilibrium that would be achieved if the market outcome reflects the effect of externalities.

brilliants [131]

Answer:

1. Plantwide Overhead Rate $ 220.06 per machine hour

Total Cost per Unit= Model 145 $ 555.96 per unit

Total cost per unit = Model 212 $ 616.94 per unit

Profit (loss)    Model 145  219.04

Loss Model 212  (26.94)

Explanation:

Real Cool

<u>Process Activity               Overhead Cost         Driver         Quantity</u>

<u><em>Components </em></u>

Changeover                      $452,000    Number of batches    750

Machining                             300,200        Machine hours      7,640

<u>Setups                                229,000        Number of setups      40</u>

                                          $981,200

<u><em>Finishing</em></u>  

Welding                         $180,100            Welding hours         3,600

Inspecting                     231,000       Number of inspections    850

<u>Rework                         81,250              Rework orders             210</u>

                                   $472,350

<u><em>Support </em></u>

Purchasing                $136,500           Purchase orders           480

Providing space          30,300          Number of units          4,500

<u>Providing utilities        50,910            Number of units          4,500</u>

                                  $227,710

Additional production information concerning its two product lines follows.

                                        Model 145           Model 212

Units produced                   1,500                  3,000

Welding hours                    1,400                   2,200

Batches                                 375                       375

Number of inspections          610                       340

Machine hours                       2,290                    6,350

Setups                                      20                             20

Rework orders                         80                             130

Purchase orders                    320                            160

We find the plantwide overhead rate by dividing the total overhead with the total machine hours.

1. Plantwide Overhead Rate= Total Factory Overhead/ Total Machine Hours

Plantwide Overhead Rate= $981,200+ $472,350+$227,710/7640

                                       = 1681260/7640= $ 220.06 per machine hour

We multiply the machine hours of each model to get the overhead .

2.  Cost of Model 145

Materials and Labor  = $220 *1500= $330,000

Overhead = $220.06 *2290= $503,937.4

Total Cost = $83,3937.4

Total Cost per Unit= $83,3937.4/1500= $ 555.96 per unit

Cost Of Model 212

Materials and Labor  = $150 *3000= $ 450,000

Overhead = $220.06 *6350= $ 1400,810

Total Cost = $ 1850810

Total cost per unit = $ 1850810/ 3000= $ 616.94 per unit

We find the profit or loss by subtracting the mfg cost from the market value.

3.                                        Model 145          Model 212

Market Price                     $775                     $590

<u>Manufacturing Cost          ($555.96)               ($616.94)</u>

<u>Profit (loss)                          219.04                      (26.94)</u>

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

$1,000,00

Explanation:

Amount paid to Construction company = $600,000

Additional expenditures in 2021 are Feb 28 = 90,000, Apr. 30 180,000, Jul. 1 = 36,000, Sept. 30 = 64,000. Avoidable interest Cost = 30,000

So, amount to be capitalized in Martin's Building account = $600,000 + $90,000 + $180,000 + $36,000 + $64,000 + $30,000 = $1,000,000

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Balance sheet: In the balance sheet, the assets, liabilities, and stockholder equity is recorded. In this the accounting equation is used which is shown below:  

Total assets = Total liabilities + stockholder equity  

The debit and credit side of the balance sheet should always be equal and balanced.  

Moreover, it always is prepared on the specified date.

The land is a fixed asset and patents is an intangible asset. Thus these items would not come in the current asset section

The preparation of the current assets section of the balance sheet is presented in the spreadsheet. Kindly find the attachment below:
