Assume an analyst has been hired to estimate the price elasticity of demand for hamburger (which sells for about $2.30 per pound

) and filet mignon (which sells for about $20 per pound), respectively. Considering the different determinants of the price elasticity of demand, we would expect the coefficient of price elasticity of demand to be:(A) larger for hamburger than for filet mignon.(B) larger for filet mignon than for hamburger.(C) approximately the same for both hamburger and filet mignon.(D) none of the above because different determinants would have opposing effects on the two estimates.

Answer:

The correct answer is B

Explanation:

Price elasticity of the demand evaluates the demand responsiveness after the change or variation in the product own price.

The formula for computing the coefficient of price elasticity, is the factors which affect the elasticity and also elasticity is vital for business when deciding the prices.

So, Filet mignon(F) sells for $20 per pound when compared to that of hamburger (H) which sells the product for $2.30 per pound. F have the higher price as compare to the H, therefore, the coefficient of the price elasticity of demand in absolute value will be high or larger for F than that of H.

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Dividends = 6,000

Explanation:

Ending liabilities = Beginning liabilities - Decrease in liabilities

                           = $6,900 - $1,200

                           = $5,700

Ending net assets = Ending total assets - Ending total liability

 $3,900                = Ending total assets - $5,700

Ending total assets = $3,900 + $5,700

                                = $9,600

Ending RE =  Ending total assets - Ending liabilities

                 = $9,600 - $5,700

                 = $3,900

Dividend = Beginning RE + Net income - Ending RE

               = $6,900 + $3,000 - $3,900

               = $6,000

abc and xyz agree to maximize joint profits. However, while ABC produces the agreed upon amount, XYZ breaks the agreement and ea
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

The answer is "$ 140".

Explanation:

The company produces the quantity MR = MC and if there is no quantity MR = MC, the amount throughout the case MR is just greater and closest to MC to maximize profit.

Here MR = marginal income and marginal cost =MC

MR =\frac{Overall \ sales \ change}{Quantity\ shift}

In the above table, we could see that the amount MR = MC = 8 isn't available. Thus it produces the amount where the MR

is only larger but nearest to MC.

25 unit MR =\frac{TR \ change}{Quality \ change}

= [TR (when \ Q = 25) -TR \frac{(when \ Q = 20)]}{(25 - 20)}

= \frac{(450 - 400)}{5}= 10

(Minimum and superior to MC)

MR of 30 units=\frac{(480 – 450)}{(30–25)}=6, similarly MR of 30 units.

Consequently, 25 units were produced and 12.5 units were produced.

Currently, XYZ breaks the agreement and produces three more so thus maximum quantity produced on a market = 25 + 5 = 30 and through the above table they see which if quantity = 30, price = 16.

XYZ produces 12.5 + 5 = 17.5 output from 30 units.

Cost Total = TVC + TFC

Total TVC = Total Cost for Variable TFC = Maximum Cost of TFC = 0.

If MC is stable, TVC = MC \times Q = 8 \times q, where Q = exposed to the real produced and XYZ produces 17.5 in this case.

Total expenditure (TC+) is TVC = TFC = 8 \times 17.5.

Take control = TR - TC = TC = 16 \times 17.5 - 8 \times 17.5 = 150.

So the business XYZ is profiting = 140

AlekseyPX

Answer:

c. $52,670

Explanation:

The computation of the fixed cost and the variable cost per hour by using high low method is shown below:

Variable cost per desk = (High cost - low cost) ÷ (Highest production - lowest production)

= ($82,700 - $63,300) ÷ (3,500 desk - 1,240 desk)

= $19,400 ÷ 2,260 desk

= $8.58

Now the fixed cost equal to

= High cost - (High production × Variable cost per desk)

= $82,700 - (3,500 desk × $8.58)

= $82,700 - $30,030

= $52,670
