Stutz Department Store will buy 10 pairs of sunglasses if the price is $93 per pair and 30 pairs if the price is $43. The suppli

er of the sunglasses is willing to provide 35 pairs if the price is $98 per pair but only 5 pairs if the price is $38. Assuming that the supply and demand functions for the sunglasses are linear, find the market equilibrium point.

Answer:

$68 for 20 pairs

Explanation:

Demand

$93 per pair for 10 pairs

$43 per pair for 30 pairs

Supply

$98 per pair for 35 pairs

$38 per pair for 5 pairs

Let x denotes price and y denotes a pair of sunglasses

x1, y1 = (93, 10)

x2, y2 = (43, 30)

x3 y3 = (98, 35)

x4, y4 = (38, 5)

Slope intercept form is given by

y = mx + b

m = y2 - y1/x2 - x1 = 30 - 10/43 - 93 = 20/-50 = -0.4

Now put any one x, y point from demand into slope equation to find b

30 = -0.4(43) + b

30 = -17.2 + b

b = 47.2

so the demand equation becomes

y = -0.4x + 47.2  eq. 1

Now for the supply equation

m = y4 - y3/x4 - x3 = 5 - 35/38 -98 = -30/-60 = 0.5

Now put any one x, y point from supply into slope equation to find b

5 = 0.5(38) + b

5 = 19 + b

b = -14

so the supply equation becomes

y = 0.5x - 14  eq. 2

Now we want to find the intersection of these two lines so that we can get the equilibrium point

-0.4x + 47.2 = 0.5x - 14

-0.4x - 0.5x + 47.2 + 14 = 0

-0.9x + 61.2 = 0

0.9x = 61.2

x = 61.2/0.9

x = 68

Now put it into eq. 1 or eq. 2

y = 0.5(68) - 14

y = 34 - 14

y = 20

So at market equilibrium the price of sunglasses is $68 for 20 pairs.

The Shirt Shop had the following transactions for T-shirts for Year 1, its first year of operations: Jan. 20 Purchased 400 units
viva [34]

Answer:

WA      1,682

LIFO      910

FIFO  2,260

Explanation:

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}Date&Cost&Units&Subtotal\\$Jan 20th&8&400&3200\\$April 21th&10&200&2000\\$July 25th&13&280&3640\\$Sept 19th&15&90&1350\\$Total&10.51&970&10190\\\end{array}\right]

We add the units purchase and the subtotal to get the total units available for sale.

Ending inventory physical units: 970 - 810 = 160 units

<u>Then, we calculate for each method:</u>

Weighted average:

cost of goods / available units = 10,190 / 970 =  10.51

160 units x 10.51 = 1,681.6‬

LIFO:

Ending inventory will be the oldest units:

160 units x 8 = 960

FIFO:

Ending inventory will be the newest units as the units are sold as soon as they come in

90 x 15 =  1,350

70 x 13 =     910

Total       2,260

What is the price of money
OverLord2011 [107]

The price of money is a function of the prices of all other goods and services in the economy. Many economists proxy the price of money using the inverse of an aggregated price index. All else being equal, a higher price level implies a lower price of money; a lower price level implies a higher price of money

Advertising increases levels of consumer purchase of specific brands which in turn affects gross domestic product. T/F
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is False.

Explanation:

Advertising really tries to increase the purchase levels of products and services, not specific brands. Therefore, this statement is false considering that although all economic transactions affect GDP (positively or negatively), the advertising function is not aligned with its duty.
