Answer:

A. elastic.

Explanation:

Elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price.

Demand is elastic when a change in price leads to a change in quantity demanded. The coefficient of elasticity for elastic demand is usually greater than one.

Demand is inelastic when a change in price has no effect on quantity demanded.

The absolute value of the coefficient of elasticity for inelastic demand is usually less than 1.

Demand is unitary when a change in price leads to an equal proportional change in quantity demanded.

The absolute value of the coefficient of elasticity for unitary demand is usually equal to one .

The city of New Orleans has 200 advertising companies, 199 of which employ designers of normal ability at a salary of $100,000 a

zepelin [54]

Answer:

a. $700,000

b. 6/7 or 85.7%

c. No they will not.

Explanation:

a. Jacobs will earn the normal salary that the other designers in the other companies are getting in addition to the incremental income he brings to the company as a result of his talents.

Incremental income = Revenue with Jacobs - Revenue without Jacobs

= 1,000,000 - 400,000

= $600,000

Jacobs earnings = Normal designer earnings + incremental income

= 100,000 + 600,000

= $700,000

b. Economic rent is the excess amount that the company is paying Jacobs over what it should normally cost to get a designer.

Normal cost of designer is $100,000. Company is therefore paying an economic rent of $600,000.

Proportion of Jacobs salary that is economic rent = $\frac{Economic rent}{Jacobs annual earning}$

= $\frac{600,000}{700,000}$

= 6/7 or 85.7%

c. The company hiring Jacobs will not be making an economic profit because for them to make an economic profit they would have to be making more than the $400,000 that the other firms make. They cannot make this amount because for them to do so they would have to reduce the amount they pay Jacobs. If they do so, Jacobs would leave for greener pastures and then they would be making the same $400,000 that the rest are making.

Kubin Company’s relevant range of production is 11,000 to 14,000 units. When it produces and sells 12,500 units, its average cos

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

a. $142,500

b. $86,250

Explanation:

a. The computation of the total direct manufacturing cost is shown below:

= (Direct material per unit + direct labor per unit) × number of units manufactured

= ($7.20 + $4.20) × 12,500 units

= $142,500

b. The computation of the total indirect manufacturing cost is shown below:

= (Variable manufacturing overhead per unit + Fixed manufacturing overhead per unit) × number of units manufactured

= ($1.70 + $5.20) × 12,500 units

= $86,250

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

20,000 units

Explanation:

Number of units in inventory at the end of quarter 3

= 3(42,500)

=127,500

Hence:

127,500- 37,500-45,000-25,000

= 20,000 units

Therefore if production strategy is used the number of units in inventory at the end of quarter 3 is 20,000 units

A local club is selling Christmas trees and deciding how many to stock for the month of December. If demand is normally distribu

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

0.6

Explanation:

Data provided :

Mean = 100

Standard deviation = 20

Salvage value of the tree = $ 0

Actual cost of the tree = $ 20

Selling cost of the trees = $ 50

Now, the cost of shortage = Selling cost - actual cost = $ 50 - $ 20 = $ 30

and the outrage cost = actual cost = $ 20

Now,

the service level is calculated as:

service level = $\frac{\textup{cost of shortage}}{\textup{cost of outrage + cost of shortage}}$

on substituting the value, we get

service level = $\frac{\$\ 30}{\$\ 20\ +\ \$\ 30}$

Service level = 0.6
