Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

Supply is buyers ability & willingness to sell at given price, period of time.

Elasticity of Supply is change in supply by buyers, in response to price change.

Supply Elasticity is as undermentioned in following cases :-

  • Zero (Perfectly Inelastic) - Quantity supplied doesn't change with price change.
  • Inelastic - Quantity supplied change <  price change.
  • Elastic - Quantity supplied change > price change
  • Infinite (Perfectly Elastic) - Quantity supplied responds infinitely high to price change, prices stay constant.

Given : Fishermen must sell all his daily catch before it spoils; means he will have to sell daily produce <u>irrespective</u> of any price change (rise / fall). So, the elasticity of supply is zero.

Fern Corporation manufacturers a single product that has a selling price of $25.00 per unit. Fixed expenses total $33,000 per ye
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

7,500 units

Explanation:

Given that,

Selling price = $25 per unit

Fixed expenses = $33,000 per year

Break even units sell = 5,500 units

Target profit = $12,000

Total break- even sale in Dollar:

= Selling price × Break even units sell

= $25 × 5,500 units

= $137,500

Break- even Point = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution Margin per Unit

Therefore,

Contribution Margin per unit:

= Fixed Costs ÷ Break-Even points

= $33,000 ÷ $137,500

= 0.24 per unit

Sales amount:

= (Fixed costs + Target profit) ÷ Contribution margin per unit

= ($33,000 + $12,000) ÷ 0.24

= $187,500

Sales in units = Sales in amount ÷ Selling price per unit

                      = $187,500 ÷ $25

                      = 7,500 units

Jerry’s loan had a principal of $22,000. He made quarterly payments of $640 for nine years until the loan was paid in full. Ho
kobusy [5.1K]

The amount Jerry paid in interest is $1,040.

The given details are:

Jerry's principal amount = $ 22,000,

quarterly payment for each quarter = $ 640

Total time for which Jerry paid each quarter = 9 years

As we know, one-year consists of nine quarters and therefore the nine years will consist of 36 quarters.

\begin{aligned}\text{Total amount paid by Jerry}=\text{Quarterly payment} \times \text{No. of quarters}\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}\text{Total amount paid by Jerry}={\$640} \times {36}\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}\text{Total amount paid by Jerry}=\$23,040\end{aligned}

Thus, the total amount paid by Jerry for nine years in each quarter is $23,040.

\begin{aligned}\text{Amount of Interest}& = \text{Amount jerry paid} - \text{Principal Amount}\\\text{Amount of Interest}& = \$23,040-\$22,000\\\text{Amount of Interest} &= \$1040\end{aligned}

 

Therefore, the correct option is b.
