Answer:

increase, decrease

Explanation:

In simple words, when the tax was imposed on the product the company will ultimately bear it to the final consumer which means the price will rise. However when the price of the product rises the demand for that product decreases due to the fact that many individuals would not be able to buy it now from their limited income, this phenomenon is called price elasticity due to income.

If the law of increasing opportunity costs is operable, and currently the opportunity cost of producing the 101st unit of good X
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

C) more than 5Y

Explanation:

the opportunity cost of producing 101 units of X = 5 units of Y

if the opportunity costs increase as the number of units produced increases, then the opportunity cost of producing 201 units of X will be more than 5 unit of Y. This is simply because 5 units of Y was the opportunity cost of producing 101 units of X and the opportunity costs are increased.

The demand for good X is estimated to be Qxd = 10,000 − 4PX + 5PY + 2M +
AX where PX is the price of X, PY is the price of good
Olenka [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

  • Given the equation ; Qxd = 10,000 − 4PX + 5PY + 2M + AX
  • where PX is the price of X = $50
  • PY is the price of good Y = $100
  • M is income = $25,000
  • and AX is the amount of advertising on X = 1,000 units

a) Calculate the quantity demanded of good X ; Plugging all the values into the equation ;

= 10,000 − 4(50) + 5(100) + 2(25,000) + 1000

Qxd = 61,300units

b) Calculate the own price elasticity of demand for good ;

= d(Qxd)/dpx X px/Qxd = -4 x 50/61,300

= 0.0033. hence he demand for goods is inelastic

c) l will surely recommend lowering the price as this is evident from the value of the price elasticity of demand which is negative as such an increase in the price of their goods will give rise to total loss

d ) cross-price elasticity between goods X and Y = %change in quantity/ %change in price

e) Calculate the income elasticity of good X. Is good X normal or an inferior good? = dQ/dM X M/Q = 2(25000) /61300

= 0.82.

Yes! Good X is a normal goods since the value of the income elasticity is positive.

Jerry bought some pears at the store. he paid 4.59$ for 5.4 pounds of pears what is the unit rate?
Viefleur [7K]
To find the unit rate you will take the price Jerry paid and divide it by the amount in pounds of pears.

Unit rate = $4.59/5.4 lb
Unit rate = $0.85

You can check your answer by multiplying the amount of pears Jerry purchased by the unit price to get the total price. 
(5.4 lb of pairs)($0.85) = $4.59

Stockmaster Corporation has two manufacturing departments--Forming and Assembly. The company used the following data at the begi
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Forming

Estimated fixed manufacturing overhead  $27,000

Estimated variable manufacturing overhead ($1.10*5,000)  $5,500

Estimated total manufacturing overhead cost  $32,500

Assembly

Estimated fixed manufacturing overhead  $10,500

Estimated variable manufacturing overhead ($2.80 × 5,000)  14,000

Estimated total manufacturing overhead cost  $24,500

Now we need to add these two numbers ($32,500 + $24,500 = $57,000) in order to identify plantwide predetermined manufacturing overhead rate

Estimated total manufacturing overhead cost  $57,000

Estimated total machine hours  10,000

Predetermined overhead rate  $5.70  [57,000/10,00]

The overhead applied to Job C:

Overhead applied to job C = Predetermined overhead rate x Machine-hours incurred by C

= $5.70 * (3,400 + 2,000)

= $5.70 x (5,400)

= $30,780

Job C’s manufacturing cost:

Direct materials  $11,200

Direct labor cost  $21,900

Manufacturing overhead $30,780

Total manufacturing cost  $63,880

The selling price for Job C:

Total manufacturing cost  $63,880

Markup (40%)  25,552

Selling price  $89,432
