Answer:

Before starting her import business, Elena should try to gather relevant information from companies that import goods, and if possible information about companies that import African goods.

Explanation:

Elena might be right about American consumers liking African products, but if importing those goods is too difficult, or is subject to several trade barriers, or some other issues, then Elena might have to reconsider her idea. Sometimes no matter how good a business idea is, if it is impractical to carry out, then t is useless.

One difference between a monopoly and a competitive firm is that A. a monopoly faces a downward sloping demand curve. B. a monop
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

A. a monopoly faces a downward sloping demand curve.

Explanation:

In business, it is seen to occur because they have no competition, monopolists have no incentive to improve their products. A lot of their focus is instead placed on maintaining monopolistic conditions through bribing their way and other tactics that dissuade competitors from entering the market.

 Demand curve slopes downward, this is said to decreases with each unit of production beyond the profit maximizing quantity and in the eyes of the monopolist, cash is lost with each additional unit been produced, causing marginal cost exceeds marginal revenue. This causes the restricted output and higher costs that characterize products produced by monopolists.

Because the demand curve slopes downward, marginal revenue decreases with each unit of production beyond the profit maximizing quantity. Thus, the monopolist loses money with each additional unit produced, as marginal cost exceeds marginal revenue.

there were 200 tickets sold for a college basketball game. Tickets were $4.50 for students and $9 for adults. The total amount c
Virty [35]

Answer:

70 tickets were sold to student and 130 tickets were sold to adults

Explanation:

Let the number of tickets purchased by students be "X" and the number of tickets purchased by adults  be "Y"

Given

Total number of tickets sold = 200

Total amount collected by selling 200 tickets = 1485 dollar

Cost of one ticket of student = 4.5 dollar

Cost of one ticket of adult = 9 dollar

Two equation are as follows

X + Y = 200\\ ------Eq (1)

4.5 X + 9 Y =1485 -------- Eq (2)

Multiplying eq (1) by 9 and subtracting from equation 2 we get

4.5 X - 9 X + 9Y -9Y = 1485 - (200* 9)\\-4.5 X = -315\\X = 70

Substituting the value of X in equation 1 we get

70 + Y = 200\\Y = 200 -70 \\Y = 130

Therefore, 70 tickets were sold to student and 130 tickets were sold to adults

rosijanka [135]

Answer: a). Firm's growth rate = 10.5%

b). Next year's earnings = $30,940,000.00

Explanation: Earnings growth rate is the percentage change in earnings given specific variables.

The firm's earnings growth rate g = Return on equity (ROE) × Retained earnings (b) = 0.15(0.70)

g =0.105 or 10.5%

In finding next year's earnings, we multiply the current earnings times one plus the growth rate.

Next year's earnings = Current earnings(1 + g)

Next year's earnings = 28,000,000(1 + 0.105)

Next year's earnings = $30,940,000.00

Pigot Corporation uses job costing and has two production departments, M and A. Budgeted manufacturing costs for the year are as
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Department M

Manufacturing overhead rate = $600,000/200,000 hrs = $3/hr

Department A

Manufacturing overhead rate = $400,000/800,000 hrs = $0.5/hr

Manufacturing overhead cost allocated:

Department M = $3 x 8,000      = $24,000

Department A  = $0.5 x 12,000 = $6,000

Total manufacturing cost allocated = $30,000

Explanation:

This relates to overhead absorption. The manufacturing overhead rate is calculated as budgeted manufacturing overhead divided by budgeted direct labour hour.

Manufacturing overhead allocated = manufacturing overhead rate x actual labour hour for each department for the job.
