Answer:
a. marginal revenue is lower than it was previously.
Explanation:
- According to the Law of Supply states, when the price of a product or service increases, all other factors are equal, the quantity of products or services offered by the suppliers increases, and vice versa.
- In other words, if a good price goes up, suppliers will try to increase their profits by offering more goods.
- so correct option is a. marginal revenue is lower than it was previously.
Answer:
The total amount of the costs listed above that are direct costs of the Cosmetics Department is $42,760
Explanation:
The computation of the direct cost is shown below:
= Cosmetics Department sales commissions + Cosmetics Department cost of sales + Cosmetics Department manager's salary
= $5,180 + $33,500 + $4,080
= $42,760
The other items which are given in the question are not relevant to the Cosmetics Department. So, these costs are ignored , and hence not considered in the computation part.
Answer:
A) -0.55
B) The negativity in the estimated elasticity suggests that for every 1% increase in the price of transport there will be a corresponding 0.55% decrease in the number of Commuters
Explanation:
Given data:
current fare (P0) = $4
hiked fare (P1) = $6
change in fare = $2
number of rides before increase ( Q0 ) = 10000
number of rides after increase ( Q1 ) = 8000
change in rides = 2000
A) The estimated elasticity of demand for MRT rides using the midpoint /ARC method
Mid point method = [ ( Q1 - Q0 ) / ( Q1 + Q0 ) ] / [ (P1 - P0 ) / (P1 + P0 ) ]
= [ - 2000 / 18000 ] / [ 2 / 10 ]
= - 1000 / 1800 = - 5 / 9 ( estimated elasticity )
= - 0.55
B) The negativity in the estimated elasticity suggests that for every 1% increase in the price of transport there will be a corresponding 0.55% decrease in Commuters
Double-declining-balance rate:
By straight-line method, annual depreciation expenses = (85,000-5,000)/5 = $16,000
Rate of depreciation = 16000/(85,000-5,000) = 0.2 = 20%
Then, double-declining-balance rate = 2*Straight-line rate = 2*20 = 40%
From 2nd January 2017 to 31st December 2018 can be approximated as 1 year.
Therefore,
Depreciation expense in yr 1 = 40/100 * 85,000 = $34,000
And,
Book value at December 31 2018 = $85,000 - $34,000 = $51,000
It can be seen that the correct answer is b.
