"Because apples and oranges are substitutes, an increase in the price of or¬anges will cause the demand for apples to increase.

This initial shift in demand for apples results in a higher price for apples; this higher price will cause the demand curve for apples to shift to the right." Which of the follow¬ing correctly comments on this statement?a. The statement is false because a change in the price of apples would not change the demand for apples.b. The statement is false because one cannot assume that apples and oranges are substitutes for all consumers.c. The statement will be true, if consumer tastes for apples and oranges do not change.d. The statement is false because oranges are inferior goods; apples are normal goods.

Answer:

The correct answer is option a.

Explanation:

Apples and oranges are substitutes. An increase in the price of oranges will cause the demand for apples to increase. This is because people will prefer a cheaper substitute. This increase in the demand for apples will cause its demand curve to shift to the right.

The rightward shift in the demand curve will cause the equilibrium price to increase. But this change in price will not cause a change in demand. The change in price affects only the quantity demanded. Change in demand happens because of a change in other factors.

So, the given statement is not correct.

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

The recommended production quantity is that which maximizes profit.

<em>Quantity 130</em>

<em />

Explanation:

Quantity to produce is the problem here. Remember that this is one of the fundamental questions in the discipline of Economics.

- What to produce?     - For whom to produce?

- How to produce?      - In what quantity?

Possible Production Quantities:

100,  110,  120, and 130

Mean Demand = 100

Standard Deviation = 20

Lowest possible demand = 100 - 20 = 80units

Highest possible demand = 100 + 20 = 120units

<u>* Solve, using the mean demand for each quantity level. Assume also that on every Monday, the minimum possible quantity is what is purchased. That's the safest assumption anyway.</u>

<u />

FOR QUANTITY 100,

Revenue = 7×100 = $700      Direct cost = 2×100 = $200

Indirect cost = 0.6×20 = $12          Total cost = 200 + 12 = $212

PROFIT = 700 - 212 = $488

FOR QUANTITY 110,

Revenue = 7×110 = $770        Direct cost = 2×110 = $220

Indirect cost = 0.6×30 = $18           Total cost = 220 + 18 = $238

PROFIT = 770 - 238 = $532

FOR QUANTITY 120,

Revenue = 7×120 = $840        Direct cost = 2×120 = $240

Indirect cost = 0.6×40 = $24           Total cost = $264

PROFIT = 840 - 264 = $576

FOR QUANTITY 130,

Revenue = 7×130 = $910          Direct cost = 2×130 = $260

Indirect cost = 0.6×50 = $30            Total cost = $290

PROFIT = 910 - 290 = $620

<em>Remember, the base assumption is that only the minimum quantity of 80units is bought each Monday. This is the only way to account for wastage; which costs 0.6 dollar per unit. So, the more the quantity produced, the greater the likelihood of wastage.</em>

= Total current assets / Total current liabilities

= $262,787 / $293,625

= 0.89

b. Debt to assets ratio

= Total current liabilities / Total assets

= $293,625 / $439,832

= 0.67

c. Free cash flow

= Net cash provided by operating activities - Dividends - Capital expenditure

= $62,300 - $12,000 - $24,787

BigorU [14]

Answer:

$77,217

$11,289

Explanation:

Fist we will calculate the present value of $10,000 payment

A fix Payment for a specified period of time is called annuity. The discounting of these payment on a specified rate is known as present value of annuity. The value of the annuity is also determined by the present value of annuity payment.

Formula for Present value of annuity is as follow

PV of annuity = P x [ ( 1- ( 1+ r )^-n ) / r ]

Where

P = Annual payment = $10,000

r = rate of return = 10% / 2  = 5%

n = number of period = 5 years x 2 semiannual payments per year = 10 payments

PV of annuity = $10,000 x [ ( 1- ( 1+ 0.05 )^-10 ) / 0.05 ]

PV of Annuity = $77,217

Now we will use the discounting method to calculate the present value of lump sum payment of $20,000

Present value = Future value x Present value factor

PV = FV x ( 1 + r )^-n

PV = $20,000 x ( 1 + 0.1 )^-6

PV = $11,289

A cafeteria buys muffins daily. Demand varies Uniformly between 30 and 50 muffins per day. The cafeteria pays $.20 per muffin an
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

The optimal stocking level is 45 muffins.

Explanation:

First we have to calculate the Overage cost Co = Purchase price - Salvage value = $0.2 - 0 = $0.2

Then the Underage cost Cu = Selling price - Purchase price =$0.80 - $0.2 = $0.60

Service level = Cu / (Cu + Co) = $0.60/($0.60+$0.2) = $0.75

Hence, optimal stocking level = Minimum demand + Service level *(Maximum demand - Minimum demand)

optimal stocking level = 30 + 0.75*(50-30) = 45

The optimal stocking level is 45 muffins.

Optimal stocking level = 68.75 Muffins
