A firm has estimated the following demand function for its product:

Business
1 answer:
Rom4ik [11]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

(i) Q=300

(ii) Elasticity of Demand=-3.33 (elastic)

(iii) Income Elasticity= 2.5 (normal good)

(iv) Advertising Elasticity: 1.5

Explanation:

The Demand function is given by

Q=100-5P+5I+15A

(1) To solve (i) we need to replace P = 200, I = 150, and A = 30 in the demand equation:

Q=100-5(200)+5(150)+15(30)=300

(2) To find the price elasticity (how much quantity demanded changes with price) we use the point price elasticity formula

\eta_{Price}=\frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta P}\frac{P}{Q}

From the above equation we get: \frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta P}=-5

Replacing in the elasticity formula

\eta_{Price}=-5\frac{200}{300}=|-3.33|>1

in absolute terms the elasticity is bigger than one so it is an elastic demand.

(3) For income elasticity (how much quantity demanded changes with income), we proceed similarly as above. But the derivative is respect to income

\eta_{Income}=\frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta I}\frac{I}{Q}=5\frac{150}{300}=2.5>1[/tex]

Which is bigger than one, denoting this is a normal good because it's bigger than one.

(4) Advertising elasticity (how much quantity demanded changes with expenditures in advertising), we proceed as before

\eta_{advertising}=\frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta A}\frac{A}{Q}=15\frac{30}{300}=1.5

Bonita Industries prepared a fixed budget of 75000 direct labor hours, with estimated overhead costs of $375000 for variable ove
Zinaida [17]

Answer: $425,000

Explanation: The total overhead cost can be computed suing following formula :-

total overhead cost = fixed overhead cost + variable overhead cost

where,

fixed overhead cost = $90,000

variable\:overhead\:cost=\frac{\$375,000}{75,000\:hours}\times 67,000\:hours

=$335,000

so,putting the values into equation we get :-

total overhead cost = $90,000 + $335,000

                                 = $425,000

The amount of amount of deadweight loss as a result of the tax is:______
klio [65]

Answer:

D. $5,000

Explanation:

This deadweight in a lot of cases are seen to occur especially when demand and supply are not in equilibrium and in and in the above scenario, it is pegged at $5000. Therefore sometimes consumers experience shortages, and producers earn but they'd otherwise.

Taxes are also seen in the creation of deadweight loss because they prevent people from engaging in purchases they'd otherwise make because the ultimate price of the merchandise is above the equilibrium value. If taxes on an item rise, the burden is commonly split between the producer and therefore the consumer, resulting in the producer receiving less cash in on the item and therefore the customer paying the next price.

A $200 petty cash fund has cash of $20 and receipts of $177. The journal entry to replenish the account would include a credit t
nalin [4]

Answer:

a. Cash for $180

Explanation:

The receipts from the petty cash fund indicate that the owner of the box made purchases adding up to $177. Therefore that money is no longer part of the fund. Since the fund holds $200 and currently only has $20 then to replenish the account the journal entry would need to include a credit to cash for $180 ... ($200-$20=$180)

In competitive markets, a surplus or shortage will select one:
Andrej [43]

Answer: c.  

In a  competitive market, there are many producers competing to provide consumers the products they needed and thus they cannot dictate prices.

If a surplus occurs, there is an excess of quantity supplied and since producers won't be able to sell all their products, they tend or are forced to lower their price.

The reverse happens when there is a shortage. When there is less supply in the market, price increases.

Surplus and shortage in a competitive market, therefore, will cause shifts in the demand and supply curves that tend to eliminate the surplus or shortage.
