When XYZ firm entered the market for good A two years​ back, it kept the price of its product low to attract customers away from

its leading competitor. The firm has now established itself and has a market share of 20 percent. The management of XYZ is planning to increase price of A from the current​ $6 per unit to​ $7 per unit. Timothy​ Walters, the marketing​ head, however, feels this is not a good idea because it will reduce quantity demanded drastically from the current​ 1,200 units to 900 units. His colleague and the head of the sales​ department, Jake​ Mayers, feels that the quantity demanded would only decline by 250 units. According to​ Jake, the firm can afford to increase the price because even after the price increase they would still have significant market share. Timothy and Jake most likely agree with which of the​ following?
A. The demand curve for A will shift to the left after the price increase.
B. The equilibrium market price is less than S6.
C. The demand for good A is elastic
D. The market share of XYZ will increase in the near future.
E. The total revenue will increase even if the price rises by $1.

Answer:

The correct answer is the option (C).

Explanation:

According to Timothy Walters, if price increases by $1 from $6 to $7 then quantity demanded will reduce from 1,200 units to 900 units.

This will lead to decrease in total revenue from (1,200 * $6) $7,200 to (900 * $7) $6,300.

According to Jack Mayers, if price increases by $1 from $6 to $7 then quantity demanded will reduce from 1,200 units to 950 units.

This will lead to decrease in total revenue from (1,200 * $6) $7,200 to (950 * $7) $6,650.

It can be seen that with increase in price, total revenue is decreasing in both cases. This happens when demand is elastic.

So,

Timothy and Jack will most likely to agree that the demand for good A is elastic.

Hence, the correct answer is the option (C).

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

The optimal production batch size for the supplier is 980 units.

Explanation:

In order to calcuate the optimal production batch size for the supplier we have to use the following formula:

optimal production batch size= \sqrt(<u>2×Annual Demand×setup cost)</u>

                                                                 Holding Cost

optimal production batch size=\sqrt (<u>2×(1,000×12)×($250×4)</u>

                                                                  ($100×25%)

optimal production batch size=\sqrt(<u>2×12,000×$1,000)</u>

                                                               $25

optimal production batch size= 980 units

A manufacturing process produces integrated circuit chips. Over the long run, the fraction of bad chips produced by the process
zysi [14]

Answer:

(a) Given that a chip passes the test, what is the probability that it is a good chip?

LetB = {the chip is good}

A={the chip passes the cheap test}.

Bc={the chip is bad}

Ac={the chip fails the cheap test}

P(A | B) = 1

P(A | B c ) = 0.075

= \frac{P(A | B)P(B)}{P(A | B)P(B) + P(A | Bc)P(Bc)} = \frac{1.0.8}{1.0.8+ 0.075 · 0.2}  ≈ 0.9751

(b) If the company sells all chips that pass the cheaper test, what percentage of sold chips will be bad?

P(B c  |A) =  1 − P(B | A) = 1 -  0.9751 = 0.0249

Kisachek [45]

The correct option is:  B.

The opportunity cost of providing 100 additional units of medical care would be 400 warheads.

<h3>What is opportunity cost?</h3>

According to microeconomic theory, an activity's opportunity cost is the value or advantage that would be lost if it were chosen over another that would provide a higher return on investment.

<h3>What is opportunity cost and example?</h3>

When economists speak of a resource's "opportunity cost," they are referring to the cost of the next-highest alternative usage of that resource.

For instance, if you spend time and money going to the movies, you are not allowed to read a book at home during that time or spend the money on anything else.

On june 8, williams company issued an $80,000, 5%, 120-day note payable to brown industries. assuming a 360-day year, what is th
lidiya [134]

To calculate the maturity of this note,

we use a simple formula first to get the interest which is:

I = Principal (amount owed) X Interest Rate (%) X Time (length of loan)

The days is only divided by only 360 days instead of 365 days. This is because commercial loans often use 360-day calendar years instead of 365-day calendar years. But not all banks used this as their calendar year,

 

I = Prt

= ($80000) (0.05) (120/360)

= ($80000) (0.01666666666)

I = $ 1,333.33

 

To get the maturity value, the formula is: M = Interest + Principal

M = I + P

= $1,333.33 + $80,000

= $81,333.33 or $81,333, letter C

Ira Lisetskai [31]
The budget is $4,240.

There are 164 kittens and 24 puppies.
Let
x = amount spent on each kitten
y =  amount spent on each puppy.

The cost for each puppy is twice a much as that for a kitten. Therefore
y = 2x                  (1)

The available amount is $4,240, therefore
164x + 24y = 4240          (2)

Substitute (1) into (2).
164x + 24(2x) = 4240
212x = 4240
x = $20
y = 2x = $40

Answer: $40 for each puppy.
