You didn't put all the alternatives, but I understand economics and I know exactly that concept.

Supply price elasticity measures how price changes impact the supply of goods and services. If the elasticity of supply is elastic, it means that supply is very sensitive to price changes. If the price goes down even slightly, the supply of goods will fall sharply. If the price increases, even if little, the offer will increase much. Conversely, if supply is inelastic, price changes will have little effect on supply for the good. If the price goes down, there will be little impact on the supply of the good. If the price increases, there will also be little impact on supply.

Factory X manufactures steam cleaners for engines and has a high level of sales variability. The units sell for $3,200 each but
Scilla [17]

Answer:

a. Some examples of fixed costs are; Insurance, utility charges, and Rent.

b. Variable cost=$1,280

c. Fixed costs=$1,000,000

d. Break-even level of units=521 units

e. Break-even level of sales=$1,667,200

Explanation:

a.

Fixed costs are the expenses that do not change with the level of output, while the variable costs depend on the amount of output produced. The fixed costs typically stay the same with the production levels. The variable costs on the other hand change as the production changes.

Some examples of fixed costs in a typical manufacturing plant are;

1. Insurance

2. Utility charges

3. Rent

4. Property taxes

b.

The variable costs are the Material and labor costs, since a higher or a lower level of output will affect the quantity of materials and labor needed. Thus their costs change with the output.

Variable cost=material cost+labor costs=$1,280

c.

The fixed costs=$1,000,000 since they don't vary with the sales. Sales is a direct function of the output.

d. The break even point is the point at which the Revenue from sales equal the costs. This can be expressed as;

Revenue=price per unit×number of units sold

where;

price per unit=$3,200

number of units sold=n

replacing;

Revenue=3,200×n=3,200 n

Total cost=fixed cost+(cost per unit×number of units)

fixed cost=$1,000,000

cost per unit=$1,280

number of units=n

replacing;

Total costs=1,000,000+(1,280×n)=1,280 n+1,000,000

Since at break-even point, revenue equals cost;

3,200 n=1,280 n+1,000,000

3,200 n-1,280 n=1,000,000

1,920 n=1,000,000

n=1,000,000/1,920

n=520.83

n=521

Number of units is approximately 521 at break-even

Break-even level of units=521 units

e.

Break-even sales=price per unit×break-even level of units

where;

price per unit=$3,200

break-even level of units=521 units

replacing;

Break-even level of sales=3,200×521=$1,667,200

A firm currently produces 3,500 units of output per week. After an additional worker is hired, output rises to 3,750 units per w
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

C. $2

Explanation:

The marginal cost is the cost for producing an additional unit of the product. According to this and as the statement says that with the additional worker the output rises to 3,750, teh first thing is to find the number of additional units that were produced:

3,750-3500= 250

With the new worker, the firm produces an additional 250 units that cost $500 because this is the salary of the new worker and to calculate the cost of one additional unit you have to do the following:

250 units ⇒ $500

     1 unit  ⇒      x

x=( 1*500)/250= 2

The firm's short-run marginal cost is $2.

On April 1, a company paid the $1,350 premium on a three-year insurance policy with benefits beginning on that date. What amount
inn [45]

Answer:

$337.50

Explanation:

the premium on a three year policy = $1,350

premium per year = $1,350 / 3 = $450

premium per month = $450 / 12 = $37.50

Since the premium covered April to December, 9 months of insurance expense are accrued.

insurance expense for 9 months = $37.50 x 9 = $337.50

The journal entries should be:

April 1, purchase a 3 year insurance policy:

Dr Prepaid insurance 1,350

    Cr Cash 1,350

December 31, accrued insurance expense:

Dr Insurance expense 337.50

    Cr Prepaid insurance 337.50
