Answer:

$7.5

Greater

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded/ percentage change in price

0.2 = 10%/ percentage change in price

percentage change in quantity demanded = 50% = 0.5

0.5 = (New price - $5) / $5

New price = (5 × 0.5) + 5 = $7.5

In the short run, demand is relatively inelastic because consumers need time to find suitable substitutes but in the long run, demand is usually more elastic.

A) The old price times the change in quantity.

B) The old price times the new quantity.

C) The new price times the change in quantity.

D) The old quantity times the change in price.

To begin with, the name of <em>"Price Effect"</em> refers to a concept known in economics as the situation where a consumer is affected by the change in the price that a good he plans to buy staying everything else constant. This effect is quantifiable as the old quantity times the change in price when we see the representation in a graphic due to the fact that when the demand curve moves the new position will be established by that new price that have affected the consumer given the same old quantity.

Prepare Job-Order Cost Sheets, Predetermined Overhead Rate, Ending Balance of WIP, Finished Goods, and COGS At the beginning of
vova2212 [387]

Answer and Explanation:

1. The computation of overhead rate based on direct labor cost is shown below:-

Overhead rate = Overhead applied × 100 ÷ Direct labor cost

= 888 × 100 ÷ 1,200

= 74%

2. The Preparation of job-order cost sheet for the four jobs is shown below:

Particulars                Job 86        Job 87        Job 88        Job 89

Beginning balance $6,888       $6,820

Direct materials       $3,000      $7,000         $2,100          $1,500

Direct labor              $800          $6,000        $900            $500

Applied overhead  

is 74% of direct labor $592           $4,440       $666            $370

Total                          $11,280       $24,260      $3,666      $2,370

3. The computation of ending balances of Work in Process and Finished Goods is shown below:-

Work in process of Job 88 = $3,666

Finished goods = Total of Job 86 + Total of Job 89

= $11,280 + $2,370

= $13,650

4. The computation of the Cost of Goods Sold for March is shown below:-

Cost of goods sold is

= Job 87

= $24,260

When a firm uses K units of capital and L units of labor, it can produce Q units of output with the production function Q = K√L.
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

STC = 20K + 25L = 20*5 + 25*[\frac{Q^2}{25}] = 100 + Q^2

Explanation:

We are given:

K units of capital and L units of labor.

•Each unit of capital cost = 20

• Each unit of labor cost =25

• Level K is fixed at 5 units

We are told production function Q = K√L

Using the production functions and the values given, we can get that Q=5√L.

To find Q, the amount of labor will be given as:

L = \frac{Q^2}{25}

Therefore, the Short run total cost function (STC) will be:

20K + 25L = 20*5 + 25[\frac{Q^2}{25}] = 100 + Q^2
