Answer:

(c) MUa/Pa = MUb/Pb

Explanation:

The Utility Maximization Rule is

MUa/Pa = MUb/Pb, where MUa represents the marginal utility derived from good a, Pa represents the price of good a, MUb represents the marginal utility of good b and Pb represents the price of good b.

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

digitally influenced purchasing

Explanation:

This is an example of digitally influenced buying, which occurs when consumers search for data and information on a product on the internet before buying at the physical store. There are surveys that show that 64% of in-store purchases are digitally influenced, which makes companies look for strategies to increase their online presence so that customers search for information about their products and services, such as personalizing the search, including location options and product availability, which makes it easier for customers to find the product of their choice in the most convenient store.

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is that the valuation would decrease total assets and stockholders’ equity by $101.00

Explanation:

Item             Cost                      Market price            Impact

Quantity

1 220 $ 4.40  $ 4.60        no impact as cost is lower

2 130 $ 6.20  $ 6.00 ($6.20-$6.00)* 130=$26

3 100 $ 10.00  $ 9.25 ($10-$9.25)*100    =$75

4 25 $ 20.50  $ 25.00 No impact as cost is lower

The total reduction in the value of inventory as a result of adopting the lower of cost or market price valuation is $101 ($75+$26),hence decreases total assets by $101 and the stockholders' equity(retained earnings which is a component of stockholders' equity ) by the same amount

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

A perfectly competitive firm faces a perfectly elastic demand curve. In a perfectly competitive market, there is a large number of buyers and sellers, such that no single firm is able to affects the price or output level. The demand curve faced by a single firm is a horizontal line.  

The market demand curve, on the other hand, is downward sloping. So whatever be the market elasticity of demand, the elasticity of individual firm will be infinite.

Bristo Corporation has sales of 1,000 units at $60 per unit. Variable expenses are 40% of the selling price. If total fixed expe
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

3.60

Explanation:

Given that,

Sales units = 1,000

Sales price per unit = $60

Variable expenses = 40% of the selling price

Total Fixed cost = $26,000

Contribution margin per unit:

= Selling price - Variable cost

= $60 - ($60 × 40%)

= $60 - $24

= $36

Total contribution:

= Contribution margin per unit × Sales units

= $36 × 1,000

= $36,000

Profit = Total contribution - Fixed cost

         = $36,000 - $26,000

         = $10,000

Degree of operating leverage:

= (Sales - Variable costs) ÷ (Sales - Variable costs - Fixed Expenses)

= (60,000 - 24,000) ÷ (60,000 - 24,000 - 26,000)

= 36,000 ÷ 10,000

= 3.60
