The answer to the question is because the effort to visit the legislators are too great.

Unfortunately, even though the audience members support your perspective, often times, people are reluctant to follow through on the actions needed to make the change. This is a common issue found in various parts of society – from your work life to your personal relationships.

Amanda [17]

Answer:

<u>Budgeted functional income statement for 2015</u>

Gross sales ($2,000,000  × 1.04 × 1.06)                                       $2,204,800

Less: Estimated uncollectible accounts ($2,204,800 × 2 %)         ($44,096)

Net sales                                                                                        $2,160,704

Cost of goods sold (1,100,000 × 1.03)                                          ($1,133,000)

Gross profit                                                                                     $1,027,704

Operating expenses (475,000 × 1.10)                                            ($522,500)

Depreciation                                                                                     ($25,000)

Net income                                                                                       $480,204

Explanation:

Make the adjustments stated on the 2014 Income Statement.

For Operating Expenses, it is wise to first remove the depreciation expense and apply the increment of 10% to reflect Operating Costs for 2015.

Treat Depreciation Expense separately and at the same amount as for 2014, since depreciation is calculated on straight line method.

The demand curve for a monopoly is horizontal because the demand is perfectly elastic. upward sloping. vertical because the dema
timama [110]

Answer:

Downward sloping

Explanation:

According to the law of demand, this law states that there is a inverse relationship between the price of a commodity and the quantity demanded for a commodity. This indicates that as the price of the commodity increases then as a result the quantity demanded for that commodity decreases and as the price of the commodity decreases then as a result the quantity demanded for that commodity increases.

Monopoly refers to the market conditions in which there is only a single firm operating in a whole market.

Hence, due to this inverse relationship between the price and the quantity demanded, the demand curve for a monopoly firm is downward sloping.

Gabe Industries sells two​ products, Basic models and Deluxe models. Basic models sell for $ 44 per unit with variable costs of
12345 [234]

Answer:

The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Basic models sell for $ 44 per unit with variable costs of $ 25 per unit. Deluxe models sell for $ 52 per unit with variable costs of $ 25 per unit. Total fixed costs for the company are $1,323. Gabe Industries typically sells three Basic models for every Deluxe model.

First, we need to calculate the weighted sales participation:

Basic= 3/4= 0.75

Deluxe= 1/4= 0.25

Now, we need to calculate the weighted average selling price and variable cost:

weighted average selling price= (selling price* weighted sales participation)= (44*0.75 + 52*0.25)= 46

weighted average variable cost= (variable cost* weighted sales participation)= (25*0.75 + 25*0.25)= 25

Now, we can calculate the break-even point in units:

Break-even point (units)= Total fixed costs / (weighted average selling price - weighted average variable expense)

Break-even point= 1,323/ (46 - 25)= 63 units

Refer to the information in Homework 2 Question 2: Ross derives utility from only two goods, chocolates (x) and donuts (y). His
Margaret [11]

Answer:

The total effect is 35 out of which income effect is 15 and substitution effect is 20.

Explanation:

Ross has an income of $1440.

The price of chocolates (Px) is $10 and donuts (Py) is $9.

The utility function is given as

U = 0.5xy

Before price rise, Budget line:

1440 = 10x + 9y,

Consumption is optimal when

\frac{MUx }{ MUy} = \frac{Px}{Py} = \frac{10}{9} = 1.11

0.5y / 0.5x= 1.11

y = 1.11x

Substituting in budget line,

1440 = 10x + 9y = 10x + 9(1.11x)

1440 = 10x + 9.99x

19.99x = 1440

x = 72

y = 1.11x = 79.92 = 80

After price rise,

Py = 16.

New budget line:

1440 = 10x + 16y,

Price ratio

\frac{Px}{Py } =  /

=\frac{10}{16}

= 0.625

And,

\frac{MUx}{Muy} = \frac{0.5y}{0.5x} = 0.625

\frac{y}{x}  = 0.625

y = 0.625x

Substituting in new budget line: 1440 = 10x + 16y

1440 = 10x + 16(0.625)x

1440 = 20x

X = 72

Y = 0.625x = 45

So, total effect (TE)

= Decrease in consumption of y

= 80 - 45

= 35

With previous (x, y) bundle,

U = 0.5xy

U = 0.5 x 72 x 80

U = 2880

Keeping utility level the same & substituting,

y = 0.625x in utility function:

28800 = 0.5xy

2880 = 0.5\ \times\ 0.625x

2880 = 0.3125x^{2}

x^{2}  = \frac{2880}{0.3125}

x^{2} = 9216

x = \sqrt{9216}

x = 96

Now, putting the value of x,

y = 0.625\ \times\ x

y = 0.625\ \times\ 96

y = 60

Substitution effect (SE)

= 80 - 60

= 20

Income effect

= TE - SE

= 35 - 20

= 15

When a company shifts from a traditional cost system in which manufacturing overhead is applied based on direct labor-hours to a
Dimas [21]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

An activity based costing (ABC) system assigns resources to the different production activities, and then unit costs are determined by the proportion of the production activities that every unit requires.

This is a much more complex costing method than just assigning overhead costs based on direct labor hours or machine hours.
