Answer:

(a) $14.56; 2,388.88

(b) Substitute goods

Explanation:

Given that,

Inverse demand curve: PX = 25 - 0.005Q + 0.15PY

Inverse supply curve: PX = 5 + 0.004Q

(a) Let PY = $10

For Equilibrium,

Supply = Demand

5 + 0.004Q = 25 - 0.005Q + 0.15PY

5 + 0.004Q = 25 - 0.005Q + 0.15(10)

0.004Q + 0.005Q = 20 + 1.5

0.009Q = 21.5

Q = 21.5 ÷ 0.009

   = 2,388.88

PX = 25 - 0.005Q + 0.15PY

     = 25 - 0.005(2,388.89) + 0.15(10)

     = 25 - 11.94 + 1.5

P = 14.56

(b) PX = 25 - 0.005Q + 0.15PY

Q = (25 + 0.15PY - PX) ÷ 0.005

From the above equation, the coefficient of the price good Y is positive which means that the quantity is positively related with the price of good Y.

Therefore, as the price of good Y increases then as a result demand for good X increases.

Hence, good X and Good Y are substitute goods.

2. WIlliam's total deductions

Income Tax                                        $200

United Fund deduction                     $50

Social security tax (6% * $896)         $3.76

Medicare tax (1.5% * $896)                <u>$13.44</u>

Total                                                    <u>$317.20</u>

3. William's net pay

= Total earnings - Total deductions

= $896 - $317.20

= $578.80

Cash Paid is $578.80

4. Employers FICA based on Williams pay

Social Security and Medicare taxes = 7.5% * $869 = $67.20

5. Employers Federal Unemployment based on Williams pay

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Net income= $4,836,200

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Offer:

21,000 units for $77.4

An increase in variable cost= $7.6 per unit

Direct materials $ 12.50 $ 1,050,000

Direct labor 15.00 1,260,000

Variable manufacturing overhead 14.00 1,176,000

Fixed manufacturing overhead 17.50 1,470,000

Variable selling and administrative expenses 14.00 1,176,000

Fixed selling and administrative expenses 13.00 1,092,000

Totals $ 86.00 $ 7,224,000

First, we need to calculate the effect on the income of accepting the offer:

Effect on income= 21,000*77.4 - 21,000*(12.5 + 15 + 14 + 14 + 7.6)

Effect on income= 1,625,400 - 1,325,100

Effect on income= 300,300

Net income= 84,000*140 + 300,300 - 7,224,000

Net income= $4,836,200
