A South American country exports coffee and estimates the demand function to be D(p) = 75 − 3p2. If the country wants to raise r

The price per pound $3

The equation is D(p) =75-3p^2...

D(p) =75-(3×3^2).

=75-(27)

=48....

In law of demand, the higher the price the lower the quantity demanded and vice versa....

So, if the price is raised, the patronage will reduce and as such might not be able to improve it's balance of payment.....

Candidly, it's adviceable to continue with the same price..

Answer:

South American country should lower price

Explanation:

The elasticity of demand can be computed by finding the derivative of the demand function as D(p)=75-3*p^2

the elasticity of demand=-p*D'(p)/D(p)

D'(p) is the derivative of D(p)

elasticity of demand=-p*d/dp(75-3p^2)/(75-3p^2)

d/dp(75-3p^2)=0-(2*3p^2-1)

                        =-6p

elasticity of demand=-p*-6p/75-3p^2)

                               =6p^2/(75-3p^2)

since p=$3

elasticity of demand=6*(3^2)/(75-3(3^2)

                                 =6*9/(75-3*9)

                                  =54/(75-27)

                                  =1.125

Since elastic of demand is greater than 1 , a reduction in price would lead more revenues as more small % change reduction in price would bring about more % increase in quantity demanded

Dmitriy789 [7]

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. Net purchase

= Purchase - Purchase Returns and Allowances - Purchase Discounts + Freight in

= $330,000 - $8,000 - $6,000 + $12,000

= $328,000

b. The cost of goods available for sale is

= Beginning inventory + purchase

= $50,000 + $328,000

= $378,000

c. The cost of goods sold is

=  The cost of goods available for sale - ending inventory

= $378,000 - $80,000

= $298,000

Critical analysis Q8 Complete the following statement. An unexpected increase in the price level will temporarily output and emp
tester [92]

Answer: INCREASE; DECREASE

Explanation:An unexpected increase in the price of goods and services will cause a temporary output and employment,this is so because producers will respond to the rise in price by increasing the amount of goods and services supplied to the market,this will lead to a rise in employment.

An unexpected decrease in price level will lead to a decrease in the output by producers and employment will drop accordingly. This tries to show how price determines change in supply and employment.

Describe at least three exchange rate factors that are likely to attract foreign investors to a country's currency. Explain why
lana66690 [7]

Answer: 1. High Interest

2. Low Government Debt

3. Political Stability

Explanation:

Foreign Investors are Investors and investors always like to invest where there are prospects of growth and profit.

High Interest Rates give them the opportunity to invest their money in a currency that will give them a great return because a country where there are high interest rates imparts this on its currency which causes it to rise in value thereby giving currency holders a capital gain.

Another factor is Government Debt. A country with high Government debt will typically be unable to raise funds through the bond market easily. This shortage of funds can lead to inflation which devalues currency causing foreign currency investors to flee.

Finally there is the Political Factor (other factors exist). A stable country politically stands a better chance of maintaining a higher value currency that one with lower political stability. This is because political Stability attracts investors and as more investments come into a country, this reflects in its currency by making it stronger which will attract foreign currency investors.

The total factory overhead for Magnum Corporation is budgeted for the year at $500,000. This is divided into three activity pool
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

The ABC overhead for a Deluxe kayak will be $170.93

Explanation:

\frac{Cost\: Of \:Manufacturing \:Overhead}{Cost \:Driver}= Overhead \:Rate

We are going to divide the overhead cost over the cost driver of each activity.

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}-&Overhead&Total&Rate\\fabric&246,000&10,000&24.6\\assembly&144,000&32,000&4.5\\setup&110,000&15&7,333.33\\\end{array}\right]

Now we apply the rate to Deluxe Kayak:

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}-&Rate&Deluxe&Overhead\\fabric&24.6&10,000&246,000\\assembly&4.5&24,000&108,000\\setup&7,333.33&10&73,333.33\\Total&-&-&427,333.33\\\end{array}\right]

Finally we divide the overhead for Deluxe between the units produced

427,333.33/ 2,500 = 170.933 = 170.93
