Answer:
Apples and Banana
a) Profit maximizing prices:
i) For Apple = $100
ii) For Banana = $40
b) Profits equal revenue minus costs:
i) For Apple = $100Q - (20 + 10Q) = $60Q
ii) For Banana = $40 - (26.5 + 5Q) = $8.50Q
c) To maximize profit, the price to charge is $100 for Apples and $40 for Banana.
d) I would expect to earn a profit of $68.50 for a set of apple and banana.
Explanation:
To maximize profit, Apple and Banana will be sold separately.
But, selling them together, the best profit maximizing prices will be $100 for Apples and $10 for Banana.
At this combined price, the banana still makes a contribution of $5 per unit towards offsetting the fixed cost of $26.50
Answer:
The correct answer is option d.
Explanation:
Fiscal policy is a tool to affect economic activities and GDP through changes in government spending and tax revenue. Contractionary fiscal policy is used to reduce economic activities. It is adopted in case of inflationary pressure.
Contractionary fiscal policy may involve a reduction in government spending which will eventually reduce aggregate demand. Or the government could increase the tax rates. This will cause the disposable income of the consumers to reduce.
As the purchasing power decreases with the decline in disposable income, consumer spending will get reduced as well. This will further cause the aggregate demand to decline.
The government can use either of them or both at the same time.
Answer:
137.89 days
Explanation:
Days' sales receivables = (Accounts Receivables / Net Credit Sales) *365
Accounts Receivables = $ 680,000
Net Credit Sales = $ 1,800,000
Days' sales receivables = $680,000 / $ 1,800,000 * 360 days
=137.88888
= 137.89 days
The days' sales in receivables is 137.89 days
Answer: Demand
Explanation:
Determinants of demand includes:
(i) Income of an individual: There is a positive relationship between the income of an individual and demand for a normal good. On the other hand, there is a negative relationship between the income of an individual and demand for a inferior good. This change in income shifts the demand curve.
(ii) Prices of related goods:
Substitute goods: There is a direct relationship between the price of one good and demand for its substitute goods.
Complimentary goods: There is a inverse relationship between the price of one good and demand for its complimentary good.
This determinant of demand also shifts demand curve.
(iii) consumer preferences: Favorable consumer preferences increases the demand for a particular good and shifts the demand curve rightwards.
(iv) Number of buyers: If the no. of buyers increases in an economy then as a result demand for goods increase which shifts the demand curve rightwards and vice-versa.
(v) Expectations: If the expected price of a particular good increases in the near future then as a result demand for that good increases in present.
