Answer:

Option (a) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial Quantity supplied = 10,000

New quantity supplied = 15,000

Initial price = $5

Price elasticity of demand = 1.8

Percentage change in quantity supplied:

= [(New quantity supplied - Initial Quantity supplied) ÷ Initial Quantity supplied] × 100

= [(15,000 - 10,000) ÷ 10,000] × 100

= (5,000 ÷ 10,000) × 100

= 50%

Let the new price be x,

Percentage change in price:

= [(New price - Initial price) ÷ Initial price] × 100

= [(x - $5) ÷ $5] × 100

= (x - 5) × 20

= 20x - 100

Therefore,

Price elasticity of demand = Percentage change in quantity supplied ÷ Percentage change in price

1.8 = 50 ÷ (20x - 100)

1.8 (20x - 100) = 50

36x - 180 = 50

36x = 230

x = 5

Hence, the new price per pound of walnuts is $5.

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

$171,619.20

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what The budgeted accounts payable balance at the end of November is closest to:

Using this formula

Budgeted accounts payable balance= Budgeted cost of raw materials purchases in November -(Budgeted cost of raw materials purchases in November*Raw materials purchases in the month of purchase percentage)

Let plug in the formula

Budgeted accounts payable balance=$286,032 - ($286,032*40%)

Budgeted accounts payable balance=$286,032 - $114,412.80

Budgeted accounts payable balance= $171,619.20

Therefore The budgeted accounts payable balance at the end of November is closest to:$171,619.20

PC​ Bell, a computer manufacturer that sells computer systems directly to​ customers, buys a computer chip for ​$150​, software
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

The price is $1,540      

Explanation:

The reason is that the profit share is $1,100 and the cost includes computer chip, software and printer which are worth $150, $250 and $40.

The price can be calculated using the following formula:

Price - Cost = Profit

Here profit is $1100 and cost is $440 (150+250+40)

By putting the values we have:

Price - $440 = $1100

Price = $1100 + $440 = $1540

Imagine a linear demand curve graphed with Quantity on the x-axis and Price on the y-axis. We know the middle of the curve is th
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

A. That's the point where total revenue is maximized

Explanation:

Demand Curve is a downward sloping curve representing inverse  relationship between price & quantity demanded.

Elasticity of Demand is the responsiveness of quantity demanded to price change. It can be measured geometrically on a demand curve point by :

Demand curve segment below the point / Demand curve segment above the point.

This way the elasticity keeps on decreasing as we move downwards on the demand curve [Ed=∞ to Ed >1 to Ed = 1 to Ed < 1 to Ed = 0] i.e [from perfectly elastic to elastic to unitary elastic to inelastic to perfectly inelastic demand].

If Demand is Elastic [Ed >1] : There is negative relationship between price and Total Revenue. This point is on the upper segment of demand curve as per geometric method, P- TR negative relationship implies that TR can be increased by decreasing Price.

If Demand is Inelastic [Ed <1] : There is positive relationship between price &total revenue. This point is on the lower segment of demand curve as per geometric method, P-TR positive relationship implies that TR can be increased by increasing price.

So: The best Total Revenue Maximising point is on the middle of demand curve where demand is unitary elastic [Ed=1] - as any other deviation from this point would create an incentive to change price to generate higher revenue.
