learn more about that demand. She has tested the market for her pies by charging different prices. When she charges $4 per pie, she sells 30 pies per week. When she charges $5, she sells 24 pies per week. If she charges $4.50, she sells 27 apple pies per week.
a. Is the apple pie market perfectly competitive? Why or why not?

b. With this data, draw a graph of the linear demand curve for Grannyâs apple pies.

Answer:

A. Apple Pie Market Not perfectly competitive

B. Demand Curve Equation : q = 8.84 - 0.16p

C. Price Elasticity of Demand : 0.8 , 1.25

Explanation:

A. The Apple pie market is not perfectly competitive because the perfectly competitive market has large no of buyers & sellers, the demand is perfectly inelastic (infinite demand at given constant prices). However in this market , apple pie demand (sales) are responding to price change , so its not perfectly competitive

B. Demand curve is the graphical representation of price, demand. The Demand curve function : q = a - bp ;  where q = quantity, p = price, a = autonomous demand , b = represents price demand relationship & is negative because of negative price demand relationship (Law of Demand).

Putting q & p given values : 4 = a - 30b ; 5 = a - 24 b. Solving these two equations for a & b , we get : a = 8.84 , b = 0.16 . So, the demand curve equation becomes : q = 8.84 - 0.16p  & plotting this equation , we get demand curve.

C. Price Elasticity of Demand is responsiveness of demand to price change. Formula : %change in demand/ %change in price =  ∆Q /∆P X P/Q

P    Q

4    30  (*)

5    24  (**)

4.5   27 (***)

Ped (*, **) =  ∆Q /∆P X P/Q =  (6 / 1) x (4/30) = 0.8

Ped (*, **) =  (3 / 0.5) x (4/30) = 0.8

Ped (**, ***) = (3 / 0.5) x (5/24) = 1.25

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

There is not gain in this operation so the answer is $0

Explanation:

There are some journal entries that needs to be done to have a full picture of the statement

* Purchase

Fixed Assets                        690.000

Cash                                                        690.000

* Monthly depreciation

Since, the FA was depreciated during 8 years. Firstly you have to calculate the amount that can be depreciate on a monthly basis

Amount to be depreciated = (Cost of the FA - Salvage value) = (690.000-48.600) = 641.400

Then calculate the yearly depreciation

Yearly depreciation = ((amount to be depreciated/useful life) * years used) =

(641.400/10*8) = 513.120

then the journal entry to record the monthly depreciation for 8 years is

Depreciation expense          513.120

Acc Depreciation                                   513.120

* Post the Journal Entry to record the sell of FA

You have to reverse the Acc Depreciation and credit the FA

Cash                                     152.500

Fixed assets                                         690.000

Acc depreciation                   513.120

Loss on sale of FA                   24.380

Klio2033 [76]

If the two nations trade, the trade price of wheat in terms of steel will be "greater than the domestic opportunity cost of wheat in alpha and less than the domestic opportunity cost of wheat in beta".

Opportunity cost speaks to the advantages an individual, financial specialist or business misses out while picking one option over another. While financial reports don't demonstrate opportunity cost, entrepreneurs can utilize it to settle on wise choices when they have different choices available to them.

- identify changes and trends as a source of new enterprise ideas
Elena-2011 [213]

Changes and trends are sources of new enterprise ideas. An example can be found in the advent of technology. The advent of internet-enabled devices has led to the growth of internet service providers. The use of headphones, Bluetooth devices, and other accessories has been borne because of new technologies that were not available some fifty years ago.

Changes in trends can lead to the birth of new businesses. Changes in weather condition that pose the risk of skin damage has led to the popularization of sunblocks.

Internet-enabled devices have also led to the introduction of enterprises that deal with gadgets accesories.

These examples show that changes and trends are sources of new enterprise ideas.
