sashaice [31]

Answer:

1. Vera = $400

2. Colin = $780

3. Messy = $54

4. Goyoh = $5,600

Explanation:

Requirement 1 & 2

1. Vera Dunhill's gross salary - 

Hourly income = $10

As she has worked 40 hours for the current week, the gross salary is as follows -

Weekly Income (Gross Salary) = Number of hours worked × Hourly Income

Weekly Income (Gross Salary) = 40 hours × $10 = $400.

2. Colin George's Gross Salary -

Hourly Income = $15

Overtime hourly rate = $15 × 1.5 (for first 4 additional hours) = $22.5

Overtime hourly rate = $15 × 2 (for further additional hours after 4 additional hours) = $30.

As Colin has worked for 47 hours, his gross salary is =

($15 × 40 hours) + ($22.5 × 4 hours) + ($30 × 3 hours)

= $780

Requirement 3 & 4

3. Messy's gross salary -

Peeling guavas at $2 per kilogram. As the Messy has peeled 27 kilogram guavas, his gross salary = $2 × 27 kilogram = $54

4. Goyoh's gross salary -

Basic Salary = $800

Commission = 4% of sales

Current year's sales = $120,000

It means, he will receive the basic salary and commission on sales as a gross salary.

Therefore, Gross Salary = $800 + ($120,000 × 4%)

Gross Salary = $800 + $4,800

Gross Salary = $5,600

For the job purpose, he will receive the basic salary and for the performance purpose, he will receive the commission as well.

An entity has decided to focus strictly on producing and selling one type of teddy bear. For the upcoming year, the entity hopes

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

29,143

Explanation:

Profit target = 25% on sales

Fixed cost = $51,000

Variable cost = $9.50 per unit

Sales price per unit = $15

To achieve profit target, let the number of units sold be y

Total sales = 15y

Total variable cost = 9.5y

Profit = 0.25 × 15y

= 3.75y

Sales - Cost = profit

15y - (51000 + 9.5y) = 3.75y

15y - 9.5y - 3.75y = 51000

1.75y = 51000

y = 51000/1.75

y = 29143

29,143 bears must be sold to meet the profit goal.

What is supply-side fiscal polioy? Identify each policy action as being focused on the demand side, the supply side, or both. Dr

Advocard [28]

Answer: Please refer to Explanation

Explanation:

Supply Side Fiscal Policy focuses on how to improve the ability of companies to supply more goods to the economy. The aim being that as companies supply more, they grow more and employ more people.

Demand Side Fiscal Policy on the other hand focuses on how to give more power to the Demand side of the Economy. It holds that increasing demand leads to increased supply which is good for the economy.

Classifying the above,

1. research grants for a corporation developing new technologies. SUPPLY SIDE.

This is aimed at increasing supply by improving the ways a company is able to produce it's goods and services.

2. government-funded scholarships for college students. SUPPLY SIDE.

This is supply side because it leads to more Colleges offering placement to students.

3. stimulus packages for firms that are "too big to fail". DEMAND SIDE.

Companies considered Too big to fail usually hire a lot of people. Keeping them running leads to them being able to pay off their employees which increases the demand in the economy.

4. increasing spending on "shovel-ready" projects. DEMAND SIDE.

Shovel Ready projects are those that are ready to be initiated. By increasing spending on them, they hire people immediately and begin work which increases the income flowing to people in the economy which increases demand.

5. lowering income tax rates at all income levels. BOTH.

By lowering income tax levels people are both able to spend more which increases demand as well as able to Invest more in companies which will increases supply.

When Alex's income increased from $2,000 to $4,000, he increased his consumption of bagels from 6 to 10 a month and decrease

Oliga [24]

Answer:

For Bagels = 1.33

For Donuts = -1.33

Explanation:

Using the midpoint method, Alex's percentage change in income is given by the difference in income divided by the average income:

$\%I =\frac{\$4,000-\$2,000}{\frac{\$4,000+\$2,000}{2}}\\\%I=66.67\%$

Alex's percentage change in demand for both bagels and donuts is given by the difference in the quantity consumed divided by the average consumption:

$\%B =\frac{10-6}{\frac{10+6}{2}}\\\%B=50.00\%\\\%D =\frac{9-15}{\frac{15+9}{2}}\\\%D=-50.00\%$

Alex's income elasticity of demand for bagels and donuts, respectively, is:

$E_B=\frac{\%I}{\%B}=\frac{66.67\%}{50\%} \\E_B=1.33\\\\E_D=\frac{\%I}{\%D}=\frac{66.67\%}{-50\%} \\E_D=-1.33$

His income elasticity of demand for bagels is 1.33, while for Donuts it is -1.33.
