Lagoon has two food stores Buck's and Combo's. It costs $1 to make one of Buck's bread loaves and $2 to make one of Combo's chee

se rounds. Let P1 denote Buck's price and P2 denote Combo's price per product. Let Q1 and Q2 denote the demand for each store's product. The store's demands are given by:
Q1 = 14 - P1 - 0.5P2,
Q2 = 19 - 0.5P1 - P2
a. Are the store's products substitutes or complements? How do you know?
b. Write the profit function for Buck's in terms of P1 and P2. Write the profit function for Combo's in terms of P1 and P2.

Answer:

a. Complements

b. X(P_1,P_2) =-P_1^2-P_2^2-P_1P_2+16P_1+21.5P_2-52

Explanation:

a. Analyzing the demand equations for both products, a negative relationship between demand and price can be observed for both goods. This means that an increase in price for the cheese rounds causes a decrease in demand for bread, while an increase in price for bread causes a decrease in demand for cheese rounds. This relationship is exhibited when goods are complements.

b. The profit from each store is given by:

X_1 = Q_1*(P_1-\$1)\\X_2 = Q_2*(P_1-\$2)

Total profit is given by:

X_1 =(14-P_1 - 0.5P_2)*(P_1-\$1)\\X_1=14P_1-P_1^2 - 0.5P_1P_2-14+P_1 + 0.5P_2\\X_2 = (19 - 0.5P_1 - P_2)*(P_2-\$2)\\X_2=19P_2-0.5P_1P_2-P_2^2-38+P_1+2P_2\\X(P_1,P_2) =X_1+X_2\\X(P_1,P_2) =-P_1^2-P_2^2-P_1P_2+16P_1+21.5P_2-52

Depreciation is a way not only to recognize the lost value over time of an asset, but also a way to recognize the expense of the asset over time. To this end, we want to see the value of the asset get smaller, and a piece of the asset on the the income statement ever period. 
The depreciation base is 95,000 -5,000 = 90,000, and the depreciation period is 90,000/15,000 = 6 years.

Blossom Company purchased a machine with a list price of $168000. They were given a 10% discount by the manufacturer. They paid
mixer [17]

Answer:

$11,870

Explanation:

Given:

List price = $168,000

Discount = 10%

Shipping cost = $1,000

Sales tax = $6,500

Salvage value = $40,000

Useful life = 10 years

Now,

Purchasing price = List price - Discount

Purchasing price = $168,000 - [10% × $168,000]

Purchasing price = $168,000 - $16,800

Purchasing price = $151,200

Costs that are directly related to the purchase of asset are capitalized.

Thus,

Cost = Purchasing price + Shipping costs + Sales tax

Cost = $151,200 + $1,000 + $6,500

Cost = $158,700

Now,  

Annual straight line depreciation = \frac{Cost-Residual Value}{Useful life}  

Annual straight line depreciation = \frac{158,700 - 40,000}{10}  

Annual straight line depreciation = \frac{118,700}{10}  

Annual straight line depreciation = $11,870

Ann Chovies, owner of the Perfect Pasta Pizza Parlor, uses 20 pounds of pepperoni each day in preparing pizzas. Order costs for
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

Option (A) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Order costs for pepperoni = $10.00 per order

Carrying costs = 4 cents per pound per day

Lead time for each order = 3 days

Pepperoni itself costs = $3.00 per pound

Total Order = 80 pounds of pepperoni

Demand rate = 20

Total ordering cost = Total order × cost per order

                                = 80 × $10

                                = $800

Length of an order cycle:

=\frac{Order\ quantity}{Demand\ rate}

=\frac{80}{20}

= 4 days

The balance sheet below reflects Zee Bank after its purchase of $50 million in government securities from the Fed. Assume a requ
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

$500 million

Explanation:

The solution of the money supply and its effect is here below:-

Decrease in money supply = $50 million ÷ reserve ratio

= $50 million ÷ 10%

= $500 million

If $50 million were used to repay loans, that will have raised money supply. Thus, buying $50 million in government securities from the fed reduces the supply of capital.
