Answer: Perfectly inelastic demand

Explanation:

Perfectly inelastic demand is a type of demand where the quantity demanded for a good or service does not respond to price.

The implication in a perfectly inelastic demand is that the price does not matter as the consumer would purchase the same quantity of a good or service at every price. A nearly perfect example of perfect inelastic demand demand is a life saving drug.

<span>If the MPC is 0.70 and investment increases by $3 billion, the equilibrium GDP will increase by $10 billion. 

The GDP is the Gross Domestic Product and the MPC is the marginal propensity to consume. The MPC tracks that a raise in pay will increase consumers spending on goods and services. If there is an increase in spending budget, then the GDP will increase because of more spending power.

Pooler Corporation is working on its direct labor budget for the next two months. Each unit of output requires 0.15 direct labor
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

$13,335

Explanation:

Required production in units for April and May are 6,500 units and 6,200 units respectively.

Direct labor hours needed is 0.15 for both months.

Total direct labor hours needed for each month would be;

April

= 6,500 units × 0.15

= 975

May

=6,200 units × 0.15

= 930

Direct labor rate per hour for each months is $7

Total direct labor cost for April would be;

= $7 × 975

= $6,825

Total direct labor cost for May would be;

= $7 × 930

= $6,510

Therefore, total direct labor cost for both months April and May would be;

= $6,825 + $6,510

= $13,335

V125BC [204]

Answer:

$214,500

Explanation:

For the computation of the amount of contribution margin first we need to follow some steps which are shown below:

No of units sold = Total sales ÷ selling price per unit

= $374,400 ÷ $24

= $156,00

Variable cost = No of units sold × Variable cost per unit

Variable cost = $15,600 × $13

=$202,800

Contribution margin = Sales - Variable cost

= $374,400 - $202,800

= $171,600

CM ratio = Contribution margin ÷ Sales

= $171,600 ÷ $374,400

= 0.46

Contribution margin = CM ratio × Sales Contribution margin

= 0.46 × (1.25 × $374,400)

= $214,500
