Answer:

0.25

Explanation:

Percentage\ increase\ in\ price=\frac{6-4}{4}\times100

                                                          = 50%

Percentage\ Decrease\ in\ quantity\ demanded=\frac{800-700}{800}\times100

                                                          = 12.5%

Therefore,

price\ elasticity\ of\ demand=\frac{Percentage\ change\ in\ quantity\ demanded}{percentage\ change\ in\ price}

price\ elasticity\ of\ demand=\frac{12.5}{50}

                                                     = 0.25

Hence, the price elasticity of demand over this price range is equal to 0.25

labwork [276]

Answer:

Explanation:

Job 11-101=$3,880

Job 11-102= $2,630

Job 11-103= $2,080

Job 11-104= $3,190

Job 11-105= $2,080

Total            13,860

Direct labor rate = $18

Predetermined overhead rate = $22

Direct labor hour = 13,860/18 = 770 hours

Applied factory overhead rate = 770 *22 = $16,940

Rasheed works for Company A, earning $299,000 in salary during 2019. Assuming he is single and has no other sources of income, w
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

$13,466

Explanation:

For 2019, the wage limit for Social Security tax is $132900

Thus;

Social Security tax $132,900x 6.2% = $8,239.80

Medicare tax = $299,000 x 1.45% = $4335.50

Additional Medicare Tax ($299,000 - $200000) x 0.9% = $891

therefore,

Amount of FICA Tax = $8239.80 + $4335.50 + $891 = $13,466.30 which is approximately $13,466

Supply - supply curve - and supply schedule are:Multiple choice question.all the same.three different ways of expressing informa
Tanzania [10]

Supply, the supply curve, and the supply schedule are three different ways of expressing information about the supply of a good - service - or resource

<h3>What are ways of expressing supply?</h3>

When we speak of supply, we refer to the quantity of goods and services that producers give to the market for sale.

The supply curve then shows the different prices and quantities that these goods would be sold in while the supply schedule does the same but in a non-graphical format.

Q1 The following is a description of the conversion cycle of Central Production Limited: The conversion cycle of the company is
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

a)

To my view, the MD viewpoint is better. In companies the existing process is usually analyzed and the pain points identified whenever there is a need for change. The new system is simply a change to the existing system. The stakeholders' specific needs are not completely addressed. The MD calls for a collection of and analysis of demands from scratch to share its needs , requirements and inhibitions between the principal stakeholders. The CIO and their staff would be able to assess in the requirements review process what worked and what did not work well for the organization.

In assessing the current process, the CIO and his team will align their thinking process with the pain points and correct the existing system. They are not going to build the system in a fresh light. A new system that meets the needs of stakeholders can be developed. For everybody, this is a win-win situation. The point of view of MD is therefore more logical and related.

b)

In the particular case, the most logical and comprehensive system analysis method is:

Primary stakeholder requirements collection: Primary stakeholders using the system must be consulted on their specific requirements and needs. It is also necessary to consider the limitations identified by stakeholders.

Comprehension of existing system and pain points: the current system can be analysed based on requirements collection and pain points can be emphasized in the current system.

A new system that will win for everyone: the new system must primarily comply with the needs of the stakeholders.

Presentation and approval of the system blueprint to stakeholders

Development and implementation of the system: system development can be carried out by the agile method of sprinting.

Monitoring and control of the system: to check for performance deviations, the system implemented should be observed. In order to monitor deviations, specific intervention can be implemented.

Suppose that during the past year, the price of a laptop computer rose from $2,750 to $2,880. During the same time period, consu
icang [17]

Answer: Elasticity of demand is 7.06

Explanation:

P1= $2,750

P2=$2,880

Q1=446,000

Q2=321,000

Elasticity = \frac{Q2 - Q1}{\frac{Q1 + Q2}{2} } * \frac{\frac{P1 + P2}{2} }{P2 - P1}

Elasticity = \frac{321,000 - 446,000}{\frac{446,000 + 321,000}{2} } * \frac{\frac{2750 + 2880}{2} }{2880 - 2750}

Elasticity = \frac{-125,000}{383,500} * \frac{2815}{130}

Elasticity = - 0.3259*21.6598

Elasticity = -0.76

Thus, elasticity of demand for laptops is 7.06. This means that laptops are highly price elastic as it is greater than 1.
