If a utility company were considering an increase in electricity or gas prices in order to cover the costs of a capital investme
Firlakuza [10]

Question:

If an utility company were considering an increase in electricity or gas prices in order to cover the costs of a capital investment, this sector would result in the smallest change in quantity demanded in the long run and thus higher profits. True or false?

Answer:

The answer is True.

Explanation:

Change in the demand for gasoline and or electricity is primarily set by the number of industrial or bulk users.

Scarce goods are allocated though the help of prices. It is important to note that demand for gasoline or electricity is <u>more elastic in the long term</u>, so small changes in price will alter supply and demand in either direction in the shortrun.

The demand for gas or electricity are by nature <em><u>inelastic.</u></em> This means that when prices go up, demand goes down <em><u>but not by much.</u></em>

It means that in the short term, the individuals cannot alter their lifestyle immediately to adjust for the hike in prices.

To adjust they would have to probably purchase new devices which or cars which consume less gas or electricity.

The effect this has for the company on the overall is that they are able to achieve their aim of recouping their capital investments from the planned increase in price.

Cheers!

White House officials often exude more confidence than they actually feel about future prospects for the economy. Why might this
Alina [70]

Answer:

Following are the answer to this question:

Explanation:

It is a great approach since it encourages and guarantees enhanced investment in infrastructure. Even so, a reduction in the possible future investment funds caused by government confidence will also result in business mistakes or failures throughout the investment process, and that's why the officials of the White House frequently exude a greater level of pride in prospects for the economic system than they feel.

A company has only two divisions: division a and division
Sloan [31]

Answer – Division A

 

EXPLANATION’

 

Given for last year,

Division A made 60% of the company's total revenue.

Let the company’s total revenue for last year be x

60% of x = 0.6x

Division A made 0.6x last year

 

Also given for last year,

Division B made 40% of the company's total revenue.

If the company’s total revenue for last year is x

40% of x = 0.4x

Division B made 0.4x last year

 

For this year,

We are told that division A's revenue has decreased by 35%

Last year’s revenue was 0.6x

Division A’s revenue for this year = 0.6x – (35% of 0.6x)

= (100% of 0.6x) – (35% of 0.6x)

= (100% * 0.6x) – (35% * 0.6x)

= (100% - 35%) * 0.6x

= 65% * 0.6x

= 65/100 * 0.6x

= 0.39x

Therefore this year, Division A’s revenue is 0.39x

 

Again for this year,

We are told that division B's revenue has decreased by 5%

Last year’s revenue was 0.4x

Division B’s revenue for this year = 0.4x – (5% of 0.4x)

= (100% of 0.4x) – (5% of 0.6x)

= (100% * 0.4x) – (5% * 0.4x)

= (100% - 5%) * 0.4x

= 95% * 0.4x

= 0.38x

Therefore this year, Division B’s revenue is 0.38x

 

If Division A’s revenue is 0.39x, and Division B’s revenue is 0.38x; then Division A had higher revenue this year.

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

$600

Explanation:

In this situation, first we have to know that tax levy on assessed value.

<u>Computation of tax rate:</u>

Appraised Value = $25,000

Assessed value = $20,000

Tax = $300

Tax rate = ($300 / $20,000) x 100 = 1.5%

Assume Appraised Value = $45,000

Assume Assessed value = $40,000

Calculation of tax value = Assessed value x tax rate

= $40,000 x 1.5%

= $600
