Consider two markets: the market for cat food and the market for dog food. The initial equilibrium for both markets is the same,

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Elasticity of supply for dog food = 0.95

Explanation:

From the question, we have:

New quantity supplied of dog food = 107.0

Old quantity supplied of dog food = Initial equilibrium quantity = 21.0

New price = $8.75

Old price = Initial equilibrium price = $1.50

Generally, the formula for calculating the elasticity of supply is as

follows:

Elasticity of supply = Percentage change in quantity supplied / Percentage change in price ................ (1)

Where, based on the midpoint formula, we have:

Percentage change in quantity supplied of dog food = {(New quantity supplied of dog food - Old quantity supplied of dog food) / [(New quantity supplied of dog food + Old quantity supplied of dog food) / 2]} * 100 = {(107.0 - 21.0) / [(107.0 + 21.0) / 2]} * 100 = 134.375%

Percentage change in price = {(New price - Old price) / [(New price + Old price) / 2]} * 100 = {(8.75 - 1.50) / [(8.75 + 1.50) / 2]} * 100 = 141.463414634146%

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

Elasticity of supply for dog food = 134.375% / 141.463414634146% = 0.94989224137931

Approximated to 2 decimal places, we have:

Elasticity of supply for dog food = 0.95

Which of the following is not true about the law of diminishing returns? It is a short run phenomenon. It refers to diminishing

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

All of the above are true.

Explanation:

The law of diminishing returns was first formulated by the classic economist David Ricardo. It presupposes a technical relationship between input and output, which is not scientifically demonstrable but only empirically. In practice, in a generic production system, at any contribution of any factor, that is, land, labor, capital, machines, etc. there is no proportionally increasing production increase.

Normally it is assumed that the law does not always come into operation but only when the variable input exceeds a certain threshold. For example, the increase of workers on an assembly line certainly allows a proportional increase in production, but only until the entire system begins to suffer from malfunctions due to logistics or work organization, precisely because of the its getting bigger. Large industrial plants have shown that they must be divided into sections, however coordinated, precisely because of the decreasing returns. This is because the increase in the number of workers and the mass of the plants does not correspond to a consequent increase in production.

The job cost record for Job A61 on March 1 showed a balance of $5,200.

Job A61:

March:

Direct materials= $2,300.

Direct Labor= $4,000.

Manufacturing overhead is allocated based on direct labor cost. The rate is 90% of direct labor cost.

MOH= 4000*0.9= $3,600

Total cost= 5,200 + 2,300 + 4,000 + 3,600= $15,100
