Answer:

100%

Explanation:

Let the normal retail price of the sweater be 'SP' and the cost price be 'CP'

Therefore,

The selling price = SP - 40% of SP = SP - 0.4SP = 0.6SP

Now,

the profit = 20% of CP = 0.2CP

also,

Profit = Selling Price - Actual price

or

0.2CP = 0.6SP - CP

or

1.2CP = 0.6SP

Or

CP = 0.5SP

or

SP = 2CP

thus,

Increase percentage in sweater marked up from wholesale at its normal retail price

= \frac{SP-CP}{CP}\times 100

or

=  \frac{2CP-CP}{CP}\times 100

= 100%

Slav-nsk [51]

In the systems approach to ob, person and situation factors are considered individual, while the three levels of analysis are categorized as processes or inputs/outcomes.

An example of a system is the laws and procedures of a democratic government. An example of a system is how someone organizes their closet. An example of a system is all the organs that work together for digestion. It's an organized collection. A system has various inputs that go through specific processes to produce specific outputs that together achieve the desired overall goal of the system.

A system is a collection of elements or components organized for a common purpose. The term can describe an organization or plan itself (which has a similar meaning to the method, as in "I have my own little system"), or it can describe part of a system ( like "computer system").

On January 1, 2021, Badger Inc. adopted the dollar-value LIFO method. The inventory cost on this date was $101,600. The ending i
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

a. An additional layer of $12,760 is added to the 12/31/2021 balance.

Explanation:

The computation of the inventory balance is given below:

2021 Base year cost is

=  $131,040 ÷ 1.05

= $124,800

Additional layer is

= $124,800 - $101,600

= $23,200

2022 Base year cost is

= $150,040 ÷ 1.10

= $136,400

Additional layer is

= ($136,400 - $124,800 ) × 1.10

= $11,600  1.10

= $12,760

Therefore the first option is correct

Hillary graduates from law school and gets a position in a law firm. At the same time the price of hamburger falls while other f
LiRa [457]

Answer:

no, since other things are not held constant, including her income

Explanation:

The law of demand states that price has an inverse relationship with quantity demanded of a good. As price increases the demand reduces, and as price decreases quantity demanded increases.

However this is true when all other factors reman constant.

In the given scenario the price of hamburger has fallen but Hilary buys less of it. This looks like a violation of the law of demand, but her income has changed so the law of demand may not hold here.

All factors do not remain constant.

Hilary's behaviour can be explained by the concept income effect. Where an increase in income leads to the consumer buying more of expensive goods than cheaper ones.

Product placement (the use of branded products by characters in films and TV shows in return for a fee paid by the brand's owner
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

d. This is clearly a case of perceptual filters. There are many people in the theater watching a movie. Suppose a James Bond movie, shows James Bond using a Sony mobile hand set.

Explanation:

Audience in the theater, who wants to buy a new handset, will pay attention and notice the fact that James Bond is using a Sony hand set. But audiences, who do not need to buy a hand set will probably not notice the brand or the model. So, those who do not want to buy a new mobile set are using their perceptual filters by not noticing the brand.

The O'Neill Shoe Manufacturing Company will produce a special-style shoe if the order size is large enough to provide a reasonab
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

TC = $1,700 + $20x

P = $20x - $1,700

x = 85

Explanation:

Develop a mathematical model for the total cost of producing x pairs of shoes.

The total cost of producing x pairs is given by the fixed cost of $1700 added to a variable cost of $20 per pair. For x pairs:

TC =\$1,700 + \$20x

Let P indicate the total profit. Develop a mathematical model for the total profit realized from an order for x pairs of shoes.

Total profit is given by Revenue from sales minus total costs (found on the previous item). Revenue is $40 per pair. The profit function is:

P = \$40x-(\$1,700 + \$20x)\\P = \$20x-\$1,700

How large must the shoe order be before O'Neill will break even?

The break-even point occurs when profit is zero:

0 = \$20x-\$1,700\\x=85

The shoe order must be at least 85 pairs.
