The competition between Coke and Pepsi is an example of highly elastic demand product. If the price of one of these two will increase, the demand for that product will decrease. This will result to an increase in demand for the other product. Both drinks can quench thirst even though they are marketed differently.

Inventory Turnover = 7 times

Days in inventory = 52.14 days

Gross profit rate = 47.86%

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Beginning inventory $10,620

Ending inventory 13,430

Average inventory = $12,025 ($10,620 + $13,430)/2

Cost of goods sold 84,175

Sales 146,100

Gross profit = $69,925 ($146,100 - $84,175)

Inventory Turnover = Cost of Goods Sold/Average Inventory

= $84,175/$12,025

= 7 times

Days in inventory = 365/7 = 52.14 days

Gross profit rate = Gross profit/Sales * 100

= $69,925/$146,100 * 100

= 47.86%

First City Bank pays 9 percent simple interest on its savings account balances, whereas Second City Bank pays 9 percent interest
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Future value is $14,944.22

Interest earned is $7444.22

Explanation:

The amount to earn from Second City Bank is the interest that would have been received at the end of the eight years,

In order to determine the amount of interest,it would be nice to first of all compute the future value-the worth of the savings at the end of eight year using the below formula:

FV=PV*(1+r)^N

PV is the $7,500 invested

r is the compound rate of return is 9%

N is the number of years the amount was invested which is eight years

FV=$7,500*(1+9%)^8

FV=$ 14,944.22  

Hence Interest =FV-PV

                         =$ 14,944.22 -$7,500

                         =$7444.22

The ninth worker adds 25 units to total production. The tenth worker adds 22 units to total production. The company has:________
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Diminishing returns

Explanation:

A firm producing widgets (term for a generic good) has two factors of production. The factory and labour. The capacity of the factory is fixed, and the marginal cost (MC) of labour is the same (i.e. each new worker will cost the same).

There are two stages to how MC is affected.

1. Increasing returns (MC goes down)  

As output begins to increase, the large manufacturing  processes/equipment  still not fully utilised means and the additional labour  can be productive as they can always use the equipment to its full potential due to which the MC is relatively low.

2. Constant returns (MC goes sideward)

At this point, labour is producing its optimal output per unit. The marginal cost  is therefore at its lowest.

3. Diminishing returns (MC goes up)

The more labour that is employed, the less marginal output it is able to produce.  This could be a result of too many people to efficiently operate/ rotate use of  machinery. The cost increases more and more to generate an extra unit of  output, because of labour exhibiting diminishing returns in the short run.

In this question, the 10th worker has added 22 units which is 3 units less than the number of units added by the 9th worker, thus the company is producing less marginal output for each worker. so based on the above discussion it can be concluded that the company has Diminishing returns.

The changes in account balances for Elder Company for 2018 are as follows: Assets $ 680,000 debit Common stock 350,000 credit Li
hammer [34]

Answer:

Net income will be $160000

So option (c) will be the correct answer

Explanation:

We have given debt common stock = $680000

Credit liabilities = 350000

Credit paid in capital = 190000

And excess of par 30,000 credit Assuming the only changes in retained earnings

So 680000 = 350000+190000+30000+ retained earning

So retained earning = $110000

Dividend paid = $50000

So net income = dividend paid + retained earning = $110000+$50000 = $160000

So option (c) will be the correct answer

When you buy a house, what is the ball-park figure you should use for the price of the house
Advocard [28]
Buying a home is a big commitment. For most of us, it will be the biggest purchase we make in our lifetime. According to the National Association of Realtors, it also usually ties us to one place for about 12 years. Of course, the process is about more than finding a home you like. It’s about finding a home you can afford and enjoy for years to come. And the price tag you see isn’t the full story. It’s important to consider all of the financial factors of home ownership before you sign any dotted lines. Here are five costs to consider before buying a home this year (or any year!).
