Answer:

The demand for Post Raisin Brand cereal is: ELASTIC  

the demand for all types of breakfast cereals is: INELASTIC

Explanation:

To calculate the price elasticity of demand (PED) we can use the following formula:

PED = % change in quantity / % change in price

  • If PED > 1, the demand is price elastic
  • If PED = 1, the demand is price unitary
  • If PED < 1, the demand is price inelastic

*The PED always results in a negative number, e.g. price deceases, quantity increases, but for practical reasons we convert the negative number into a positive (we use absolute values) when we are determining the elasticity.

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

the number of students to register for break even is 40 students

Explanation:

The computation of the number of students to register for break even is as follows

Let us assume the break even point be X,

Now as we know that

At break even

Total Expense = Total Revenue

$6,400 + $15 × X = $175 × X

160 × X = $6,400

So,

X = $6,400 ÷ 160

= 40 students

hence, the number of students to register for break even is 40 students

Harlan Bikes wants to close an unprofitable division with an expensive mortgage, high advertising costs, and high raw material c
Rudiy27

Answer:

Quantitatively, Harlan Bikes is justified in deciding to close the department, but there are other qualitative factors that need to be considered which may result in the company loosing much more that they can save if the department is closed, such as for example a decrease in employee morale, a negative signalling effect to other stakeholders, a drop in sales in related products etc.

Explanation:

A decrease in employee morale can result especially if workers  in other departments are no-longer sure about their future in the company, resulting from fears of their departments being closed. This can negatively affect productivity resulting in lower profits in other department.

A negative signalling effect means that other stakeholders such as investors and creditors may start questioning managements ability to profitably run the business, and the company will be perceived as more risky. Cost of debt and cost of equity capital for example, may go up, due to this higher perceived risk, and  which may reduce the number of positive net present value projects that the company can undertake due to an increase in cost of capital.

If the company carries related products in other departments, it may also see a drop in sales in those sales, which will effectively reduced the savings that are estimated  to be gained from closing the division.

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

Larry spends half his time on each activity, while Moe only washes cars and Curly only mows lawns. Then lawns will be mowed and cars will be washed

Explanation:

In a hour :

Larry can ; wash 1 car or mow 1 lawn

Moe can ; mow 1 lawn or wash 2 cars

Curly can ; mow 2 lawns or wash 1 car

The inefficient scenario is  Larry spends half his time on each activity, while Moe only washes cars and Curly only mows lawns. Then lawns will be mowed and cars will be washed. this is because Larry can either wash 1 car or mow 1 lawn every hour and if Moe only washes cars and Curly only mows Lawns there will still be Cars and Lawns left to be washed and Mowed since Larry does not work at full capacity like Moe and Curly who could wash 2 cars or mow 2 lawns every hour
