Answer:
The total surplus from Andrew's sale to Nick is $35.
Explanation:
The total surplus is the sum of producer surplus and consumer surplus.
The consumer surplus is the difference between the maximum price a consumer is willing to pay for a product and the price he/she actually has to pay.
While producer surplus is the difference between the minimum price a producer is willing to accept for a product and the price he/she actually gets.
Consumer surplus for Nick
= $80 - $60
= $20
Producer surplus for Andrew
= $60 - $45
= $15
Total surplus from generated from Andrew's sale to Nick
= $20 + $15
= $35
Answer: False
Explanation:
The price elasticity of supply measures the change in quantity supplied when the price changes.
The basic trend is that when price increases, quantity supplied increases as well. The reverse is true.
Price elasticity of supply = %Change in quantity supplied / % change in price
0.5 = -6% / Change in price
0.5 * Change in price = -6%
Change in price = -6% / 0.5
= -12%
The statement above is therefore false because price should have reduced by 12% for quantity supplied to reduce by 6%
Answer:
a. 56%
b. 62%
Explanation:
a. Janitorial costs are allocated based on square feet.
Assembly Department Square feet = 42,560
Total area for both departments = 42,560 + 33,440 = $76,000
Percentage of costs
= 42,560/ 76,000
= 56%
b. Security costs are allocated based on asset value.
Cutting Department Asset Value = $126,480
Total asset value for both departments = 77,520 + 126,480 = $204,000
Percentage of costs
= 126,480/ 204,000
= 62%
Answer:
$607
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Date of closing of sales transaction = April 15
Expected tax for the year = $2,110
Number of days in an year = 365
Now,
Per day tax = [ Expected tax for the year ] ÷ [ 365 ]
= $2,110 ÷ 365
= $5.781 per day
Time period from January 1 to April 15 in days = 105 days
Therefore,
The seller's share of the tax bill
= Per day tax × Time period from January 1 to April 15 in days
= $5.781 × 105
= $606.98 ≈ $607
the overall hange is a net-gain of 17% as the company's total revunue experienced an overall positive outcome over said two year period. :)
