Answer:
-0.8
Explanation:
Cross elasticity of demand = % change in quantity demanded for the drink / % change in price of the bowling
cross elasticity = 40% / -50% = -0.8 since the price was reduced the change in price will be negative
Answer:
Explanation:
We were informed from the question that;
BEFORE; the tax, 30,000 bottles of wine were sold every week at a price of $4 per bottle.
AFTER; After the tax, 25,000 bottles of wine are sold every week; consumers pay $6 per bottle and producers receive $3 per bottle (after paying the tax).
✓✓The amount of tax on wine = $6 - $3 = $3 per bottle
✓✓The tax burden on consumers = The amount paid after tax - The amount paid before tax
= $6 - $4
=$2 per bottle
✓✓The tax burden on Producers = Price received before tax - price received after tax
= $4 - $3
=$1 per bottle
Hence, The amount of the tax on a bottle of wine is $3 per bottle. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is $2 per bottle, and the burden that falls on producers is $1 per bottle.
The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been smaller if the tax had been levied on consumers(FALSE)
This is false, since the The tax burden on Producers is $1 per bottle while that of The tax burden on consumer is $2 per bottle.
Answer:
(a)
TC(q) [before expansion] = Fixed Cost + Variable Cost
= 750,000 + 1.25q
TC(q) [after expansion] = (750,000 + 350,000) + 0.75q
= 1,100,000 + 0.75q
(b) (i) q = 600,000
TC(q) [before expansion] = 750,000 + (1.25 × 600,000)
= 750,000 + 750,000
= 1,500,000
TC(q) [after expansion] = 1,100,000 + (0.75 × 600,000)
= 1,100,000 + 450,000
= 1,550,000
Since expansion will increase total cost, profit will fall ceteris paribus. So firm should not expand.
(ii) q = 800,000
TC(q) [before expansion] = 750,000 + 1.25 × 800,000
= 750,000 + 1,000,000
= 1,750,000
TC(q) [after expansion] = 1,100,000 + (0.75 × 800,000)
= 1,100,000 + 600,000
= 1,700,000
Since expansion will decrease total cost, profit will rise ceteris paribus. So firm should expand.
Answer:
Explanation:
First, we have to compute the accrued interest amount, then only the adjustment entry would be made.
So,
Accrued interest = (Borrowed amount) × (rate of interest) × (number of months ÷ total number of months in a year)
= $8,000 × 12% × 2 ÷ 12
= $160
The two months is calculated from May 1, 2018 to June 30, 2018
Now, we pass the adjustment entry which is shown below:
Accrued interest expenses A/C Dr
To Interest payable
(Being adjustment entry of accrued interest is recorded)
