Answer:

Option (c) is correct.

Explanation:

We know that beef is used as an ingredient or input in making hamburgers. If the price of the input i.e beef increases then as a result supply of hamburgers decreases because of the higher cost of production. This will shift the supply curve leftwards, its shows that lesser supply with same level of demand will lead to higher prices of hamburgers.

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

The value after seven years from now is $231,216.29

Explanation:

The computation of the expected value would be seven years from now is shown below:

Here we use the future value formula i.e. shown below:

Future value = Present value × (1 + interest rate)^number of years

= $188,000 × (1 + 0.03)^7

= $188,000 × (1.03)^7

= $231,216.29

Hence, the value after seven years from now is $231,216.29

Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge cola producers a tax. Before the tax, 50 billion cases of cola were sold ever
Georgia [21]

Answer:

U.S. Tax Burden on Cola:

The amount of the tax on a case of cola is $4 per case. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is $1 per case, and the burden that falls on producers is ___$3______ per case.

The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been larger if the tax had been levied on consumers.

a. True

b. False

Explanation:

The tax burden on consumers, which is represented by the difference in the price of cola from $5 to $6 per unit is $1 ($6 - $5).  However, the cash received by producers reduced by $3 from $5  to $2.  This shows that the total tax burden on both consumers and producers is $4 ($1 + $3).

This represents a total tax burden of $4 or about 67% based on the new selling price of cola or 80% based on the old selling price of cola.

"The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been larger if the tax had been levied on consumers alone.   This because the price of cola would have increased to $9 per unit.  Since the demand for cola in this instance is elastic, this change in price would have caused a more than 80% change in the quantity demanded.

Franklin Corporation issues $50,000, 10%, 5-year bonds on January 1, for $52,100. Interest is paid semiannually on January 1 and
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

Bond interest expense = $2,290

so correct option is b. $2,290

Explanation:

given data

Bond issued = $50,000

Interest rate  = 10%

interest semi-annually = 5%

time period = 5 year

to find out

amount of bond interest expense

solution

we get first Cash interest payment that is here

Cash interest payment = $50,000 × 5%

Cash interest payment = $2,500     ....................1

and Bond premium will be

Bond premium = $52,100 – $50,000

Bond premium = $2,100      .......................2

we know interest paid semi annually so time period will be  = 10

so Amortization of bond premium will be here as

Amortization of bond premium = \frac{2100}{10}

Amortization of bond premium = $210      .................3

so  Bond interest expense will be calculate as

Bond interest expense = Cash interest payment - Amortization of bond premium     .......................4

put here value

Bond interest expense = $2,500 - $210

Bond interest expense = $2,290

so correct option is b. $2,290

Granite State Airlines serves the route between New York and Portsmouth, NH, with a single-flight-daily 100-seat aircraft. The o
TEA [102]

Answer:

Given data: One flight with total seats = 100

Full fare passengers, cost per ticket=$150, mean=56 passengers, SD=23

Discount fare passengers, cost per ticket=$100, mean=88 passengers, SD=44

(a) Here, though there is a hint to use the CDF, since the confidence interval is not given we will make some simplying assumptions that will reduce the complexity of the question, of course keeping the question statistically correct.

this question wants us to maximize total revenue per flight (one way), we can do that by taking only full fare passengers or total revenue will be 150*100=$15,000, but since historical probability shows a mean of 56 with a standard deviation of 23, we can assume in best case scenario total full fare ticket passengers will be 56+23=79, leaving 21 tickets for discount passenger, in this case the total revenues will be 79*150+21*100=$13,950

(b) Now, the new constrained policy is giving a clear cut number of seats to each category of pasengers, 44 for discount (total revenues 44*100) and 56 for full fare (total revenues 56*150) both of which are within the probabilities given earlier (full fare mean=56, discount mean=88). Total revenues in case will be 44*100+56*150=$12,800.

(c) Gain is the difference of the excess revenues in both cases of optimal total revenues and limited seats policy or answer (a) - answer (b) = $13,950- $12,800=$1,150

(d) Realistically speaking, there is no answer for this question without a clear cut confidence interval. Another simplifying assumption we can make here is taking the mean passengers as expected bookings (can be tweaked once confidence interval or degree of significance is given). so total revenues in this case will be 44*100 from discount and 56*150 from full fare passengers. That is still similar to answer (c) due to our assumption/lack of constraints, so our optimal booking will be 54 full fare tickets and 44 discount passenger tickets. You can also take worst case scenario by subtracting SD of each passenger type from the mean or go the best case scenario in which SD of full fare will be added to the mean while the pending seats (left over from 100) will be the total to discount fare for optimal revenue collection.
