Answer:

The correct answer is (d) Decrease total revenues from X and Y by $600

Lets first calculate change in revenue due to good X

TR = P*Q

where TR = Total revenue , P = Price and Q = Quantity

Formula :

% change in (A*B) = % change in A + % change in B

Thus % change in TR = % change in (P*Q) = % change in P + % change in Q

Own Price Elasticity of demand of X = % change in quantity of X / % change in Price of X

It is given that, Own Price Elasticity of demand of X = -4 and % change in Price of X = -2% (negative sign means that price has decreased)

Hence, -4 = % change in quantity of X / (-2) => % change in Quantity of X = 8%.

Here % change in Q = 8% and % change in P = -2%

% change in (TR) = % change in (P*Q) = % change in (P) + % change in (Q) = -2 + 8 = 6%

Hence Revenue due to good X increases by 6%.

So change in revenue due to Good X = 6% of 10,000 = (6/100)*10000 = 600

Now Lets first calculate change in revenue due to good Y

TR = P*Q

where TR = Total revenue , P = Price and Q = Quantity

Formula :

% change in (A*B) = % change in A + % change in B

Thus % change in TR = % change in (P*Q) = % change in P + % change in Q

Cross Price Elasticity of demand between X and Y = % change in quantity of Y / % change in Price of X

It is given that, Cross Price Elasticity of demand between X and Y = 2 and % change in Price of X = -2% (negative sign means that price has decreased)

Hence, 2 = % change in quantity of Y / (-2) => % change in quantity of Y = 2*(-2) = -4.

Here % change in Q = -4% and % change in P = -2%

% change in (TR) of good Y = % change in (P*Q) = % change in (P) + % change in (Q) = -2 + (-4) = -6%(negative sign means that TR will decrease)

Hence Revenue due to good Y decreases by 6%.

So change in revenue due to Good Y = -(6% of 20,000) = (6/100)*10000 = -1200 (negative sign means that revenue will decrease)

Hence Overall change in total revenue = Change in Revenue due to good X + Change in Revenue due to good Y

=> Overall change in total revenue = 600 + (-1200) = -600

Hence Overall Revenue will decrease by 600

Hence, the correct answer is (d) Decrease total revenues from X and Y by $600

We calculated the gains and losses from price controls on natural gas and found that there was a deadweight loss of $5.68 billio

Simora [160]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. If the price of oil were $70.00 per barrel, what would be the free-market price of gas?

The free-market price is defined by the equilibrium point: when the quantity demanded and the quantity supplied are equal.

QS = 15.90 + 0.72PG + 0.05PO

QD = 0.02 – 1.8PG + 0.69PO

15.90 + 0.72PG + 0.05(70.00) = 0.02 – 1.8PG + 0.69(70.00)

19.4 + 0.72 PG= 48.32-1.8PG

PG(0.72+1.8)=48.32-19.4

PG= 28.92/2.52

PG= $11.48

QS=QD= 15.90+0.72(11.48)+0.05(70.00)

QS=QD= 27.66

What would be the deadweight loss if the price of natural gas were regulated to be $4.00? The deadweight loss would be $___ billion. (Round answer to two decimal places)

If PG is $4.00

The quantity supplies will be less than the quantity demanded. The quantity supplied will be the quantity sold in the market.

QS= 15.90+0.72(4)+0.05(70.00)

QS= 22.28

To find the deadweight loss we must evaluate the quantity supplied in the demand curve:

22.28 = 0.02 – 1.8PG + 0.69(70.00)

1.8PG= 48.32-22.28

PG= 26.04/1.8

PG= 14.47

And now we calculate the area shown in the figure attached:

Base: 14.47-4= 10.47

Height: 27.66-22.28= 5.38

Deadweight loss: (10.47*5.38)/2

Deadweight loss: 28.1643

The deadweight loss would be $28.16 billion.

Frederick Company has two service departments (Cafeteria Services & Maintenance). Frederick has two production departments (

Alja [10]

Answer:

Maintenance total cost: 325,000

Cost Allocated to Packagin from Maintenance 162,500

Explanation:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccccc}&Maintenance&Cafeteria&Assembly&Packaging\\Employees&4&&8&8\\Direct \: Cost&270,000&275,000&&\\Allocate C&55,000&-275,000&&\\Subtotal&325,000&&110,000&110,000\\Allocate M&-325,0004&-15,760&-162,500&-162,500\\Total&&&272,500&272,500\\\end{array}\right]$

We will divide the cafeteria cost by the sum of employees of the department and maintenance.

4+8+8 = 20

275,000/20 = 13,750

Then we multiply this by each department employees and add them to their cost.

Maintenance total cost after adding cafeteria is 325,000

Then we do the same, we divide this amount for the emplyees of the processsing department:

8 + 8 = 16

325,000/16 =20,325.5

Then we multiply by 8 employees: 162,500

Maintenance total cost: 325,000

Cost Allocated to Packagin from Maintenance: 162,500
