Answer:

arc price elasticity = -1.64

Explanation:

arc price elasticity = (change in quantity x average price) / (change in price x average quantity)

  • change in quantity = 7,400 - 10,000 = -2,600 units
  • average price = ($2.50 + $3) / 2 = $2.75
  • change in price = $3 - $2.50 = $0.50
  • average quantity = (10,000 + 7,400) / 2 = 8,700 units

arc price elasticity = (-2,600 x $2.75) / ($0.50 x 8,700) = -7,150 / 4,350 = -1.64

Why is it important for the balance of payments to balance?
Rudiy27

A country's balance of payments tells you whether it saves enough to pay for its imports. ... A balance of payments deficit means the country imports more goods, services and capital than it exports. It must borrow from other countries to pay for its imports. In the short-term, that fuels the country's economic growth.

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Total indirect manufacturing cost= $75,450

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

12,000 units:

Variable manufacturing overhead $ 1.50

Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 5.00

<u>First, we need to calculate the total fixed manufacturing overhead:</u>

Total fixed overhead= 5*12,000= $60,000

<u>Now, for 10,300 units:</u>

Total indirect manufacturing cost= 60,000 + 10,300*1.5

Total indirect manufacturing cost= $75,450

Softa [21]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

In this case option A is the correct option, i.e. Carolina will accept the new cosmetic line but Sanders will reject the new cosmetic line. This is because Carolina being the president of Deed Corporation would like to take the cosmetic line differently and with the expected rate of return of 12%, i.e. higher than the minimum required rate of return of 8%.

However, Sanders has achieved a 14% rate of return from his cosmetic division thus, being the manger he would not like his performance to go down with 12% return from the new cosmetic line. Thus, option A is the correct option.
