Answer:

The opportunity cost = $2.5

Explanation:

Given:

You own a building that has four possible uses: a cafe, a craft store, a hardware store, and a bookstore. The value of the building in each use is $2,000; $3,000; $4,000; and $5,000, respectively.You decide to open a hardware store.

<u>Question asked:</u>

The <u>opportunity cost of using this </u><u>building for a hardware store</u> ?

<u>Solution:</u>

As we know:

Opportunity\ cost =\frac{What\ you\ sacrifice}{What\ you\ gain} \\ \\

What you sacrifice = Value of a cafe + Value of a craft store + Value of a bookstore

                              = $2000 + $3000 + $5000 = $10,000

What you gain = Value of a hardware store

                        = $4000

Thus, the opportunity cost of using this building for a hardware store is $2.5

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

the coefficient of elasticity is 0.5. Thus, demand is inelastic.

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.

Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price  

If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.  

Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one

Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.  

Price elasticity = 2/4 = 0.5

Because demand is less than1, big g has an inelastic demand.

Rey Company’s single product sells at a price of $216 per unit. Data for its single product for its first year of operations fol
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

1. Using Absorption Costing

Income Statement

Sales    20,000 X $216                             = $4,320,000

Less: Cost of Goods Sold (Note 1)            =($1,240,000)

Gross Margin                                             = $3,080,000

Less: Operating Expenses

Selling and Administrative Expense         = ($560,000)

(Note 2)                                                        

Net Income                                                  = $2,520,000

Note:

  1. Cost of goods Sold = All the direct variable cost + direct fixed cost = Direct materials + Direct Labor + Direct Overhead = $20 +$28 + $6 = $54 per unit, Total = $54 X 20,000 units = $1,080,000 + Fixed cost = $160,000 = $1,240,000
  2. Selling And Administrative Expense = Variable + Fixed, Variable = $18 X 20,000 units = $360,000, Fixed Expenses = $200,000, Total = $560,000

2. Using Variable Statement

Sales    20,000 X $216                             = $4,320,000

Less: Variable Costs

Direct Material $20 X 20,000                    = ($400,000)

Direct Labor  $28 X 20,000                       = ($560,000)

Variable Overhead $6 X 20,000               = ($120,000)

Variable Selling Expense $18 X 20,000    = ($360,000)

Contribution Margin                                     = $2,880,000

Less: Fixed Costs

Fixed Overhead                                            = ($160,000)

Fixed Selling & Administrative                     = ($200,000)

Net Income                                                    = $2,520,000

Note: Under Variable Statement first variable expenses are deducted to get the value of contribution, and then fixed expenses are deducted to get net income, whereas in absorption costing firstly manufacturing expenses are deducted to get gross margin and then operating expenses like selling and administrative expenses are deducted to get the net income.

But Net income is same in both cases.

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer: (e.) The same pay as either a professor or as a chief economist at the Humane Society.

Explanation:

The correct answer would be <u>option (e)</u> because in this case there lies an ambiguity i.e. we are uncertain about skillets that an economists should be endowed with or for being a faculty member.

Therefore , it can be concluded that he would  get at least as good pay as being faculty. In both cases he'll be better off.
