Answer:

B) $400 unfavorable.

Explanation:

A variance is favorable when it increases net income and unfavorable when it does the opposite.

To calculate direct materials quantity variance we can use the following formula:

quantity variance = (AQ - SQ) x SP ⇒ if positive, variance is unfavorable, if negative variance is favorable

  • AQ = actual quantity = 5,200
  • SQ = standard quantity = 5,000
  • SP = standard price = $2

quantity variance = (5,200 - 5,000) x $2 = $400 unfavorable

In this case, even though the quantity variance was unfavorable, since the price variance ($520 favorable) was favorable and larger, the total variance is favorable.

                                                                                                    pounds

Standard quantity allowed (5 × 1000)                                     5,000

Actual quantity                                                                     <u>     5,200</u>

                                                                                                200 unfavorable

Standard price                                                                       <u>×$2</u>

The quantity variance ($)                                                   <u>$400</u>unfavourable

bulgar [2K]

Answer:

<em>An inferior good</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

<em>An inferior good is a good whose demand decreases with consumer's increase in income</em>. John's increase in pay, that came with his promotion, triggered John to switch to driving everywhere he goes instead of riding the bus. This is because John feels that riding the bus is no longer fit for him, now that he could readily afford driving around in the stead of taking the cheaper bus ride.

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

Willingness to pay

Revenue

Two

Elastic

Inelastic

Explanation:

Price discrimination is when a producer or a seller charges different prices for the same product usually in different markets.

In price discrimination, a seller attempts to remove or reduce consumer surplus by charging the consumer at his willingness to pay. For price discrimination to be effective, a seller must be able to estimate the willingness to pay of consumers.

Price discrimination is successful when a seller earns higher profits when she discriminates compared to when she didn't price discriminate.

Price discrimination exists in the airline industry. One of the ways price discrimination exists in the airline industry is through charging to check bags. Customers ( people who board airplanes) are distributed into two groups- those who won't pay to check bags and those who would pay to check bags.

It is assumed that those who would pay to check their bags have a price inelastic demand because they are indifferent to paying an extra amount for their luggage.

Inelastic demand is defined as when a small change in price has no effect on quantity demanded.

While it is assumed that those who won't pay to check their bags have an elastic demand because they are unwilling to pay extra to check their luggages.

Elastic demand is when a change in price has effect on quantity demanded.
