When the price of candy bars is $1.00, the quantity demanded is 500 per day. When the price falls to $0.80, the quantity demande
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

The demand for candy bars is inelastic

Explanation:

The midpoint rule calculate the price elasticity of demand as percentage change in quantity divided by the percentage change in price:

<u>% change in quantity </u>

\frac{Q_2-Q_1}{ \frac{Q_2 + Q_1}{2} }  \times 100

The quantity demanded increased from 500 to 600. We have

Q_1 = 500 \: and \: Q_2 = 600

\implies \frac{600 - 500}{ \frac{600 + 500}{2} }  \times 100 \\  =  \frac{100}{ \frac{1100}{2} } \\  =  \frac{100}{550} \\  =  \frac{2}{11}

<u>% change in price</u>

\frac{P_2-P_1}{ \frac{P_2 + P_1}{2} }  \times 100

The price changed from 1 dollar to 0.8 dollars.

\frac{0.8 - 1}{ \frac{0.8 + 1}{2} } =  -  \frac{2}{9}

Price elasticity if demand is

\frac{ \frac{2}{11} \%}{  - \frac{2}{9} \%}  =  -  \frac{9}{11}  =  - 0.82

The negative sign tells us that there is an inverse relationship between price and quantity demanded.

Since 0.82 is less than 1, the demand for candy bars is inelastic

avanturin [10]

Answer:

b.) While some job loss may occur as a result of automation, the potential for job creation exists

Explanation:

Automation is the process by which a the production process that is usually managed by people becomes mechanised.

The control and monitoring functions that people usually do is now transferred to automatic devices.

While this will cause some job loss as a result of lack of skill to operate the new machines, it will also result in an avenue for fresh employment.

Employees can acquire the required skill to operate the machines that are now used in the production process.

Alles Company uses a job costing system that applies factory overhead on the basis of direct labor dollars. No job was in proces
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

(a)

For Job G15:

Direct labor = $20,000

Overhead applied = 16,000

Overhead rate = \frac{16,000}{20,000}\times 100

                         = 0.8 × 100

                         = 80%

Overhead applied = Direct labor × 80%

                         = $20,000 × 80%

                         = $16,000

Overhead is applied on direct labor. Hence, rate is 80%.

Overhead for Job B10 = Direct labor × 80%

                                     = $54,000  × 80%

                                     = $43,200

Therefore,

Total overhead applied = $43,200 + 45,750 + 16,000

                                        = $104,950

(b) Hence,

Overapplied overhead for February:

= Total overhead applied - Actual Overhead

= $104,950 - $68,500

= $36,450
