Business
1 answer:
melamori03 [73]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The median voter here is $55 based on the allocated points in order of preference.

This is the vote that avoids the two extremes of 5 and 7

Explanation:

Voting with the Borda count system of voting:          

                        $0          $15        $55

Andrew            1              3            2

Sam                  1              2            3

Darnell             3             2            1

Total points     5             7            6

The median voter is the selection that is based on choosing the median in a spectrum, so that the extremes are avoided.  In this case, the extremes win points 5 and 4, with the median as 6.

The voting was done by using the Borda count system of voting.  With this system, points are allocated based on personal preferences.  The preference that is favored most is given the highest point, and so on.  This implies that the preference that is least favoured is given the lowest point.

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

p = 59.11 dollars

Explanation:

Given

Price:     p(x) = 8eˣ      (0 ≤ x ≤ 2)

Revenue;  R = x*p = 8xeˣ

p = ?  when R be at maximum

We can apply

dR/dx = d(x*p)/dx = 0

⇒  d(8xeˣ)/dx = 8*(1*eˣ + x*eˣ) = 0

⇒  eˣ*(1 + x) = 0    ⇒    x = - 1

as x = - 1 ∉ [0, 2]

then, we have

p(0) = 8e⁰ = 8

R = 0*8 = 0

If x = 1

p(1) = 8e¹ ≈ 21.74

R = 1*21.74 = 21.74

If x = 2

p(2) = 8e² ≈ 59.11

R = 2*59.11 = 118.22

Implies that, R(x) is maximum at x = 2.

   

Thus, the price that maximize the revenue of the company is 59.11 dollars.

Gary’s Company produces high quality shirts. Shirts must be well made because of frequent washings. Currently, Gary sells 10,000
grin007 [14]

Answer:

Unless the capacity is expanded or some of the production gets outsource, the offer is not convenient.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Currently, Gary sells 10,000 shirts at $60 each with the capacity to produce 11,000 shirts. Gary is considering a special order for 1,800 shirts for $40.

Gary has the following costs:

Unit Costs $200,000

Facility Costs $140,000

If Gary accepts the special order, they will incur an additional $2 per shirt in foreign currency transaction costs.

Because it is a special offer and there is unused capacity, we will not have into account the fixed costs.

variable cost per unit= (200,000/10,000) + 2= $22

Effect on income= (40 - 22)*1,800= $32,400

We have to take into account the loss of not selling 1,000 units.

Effect on income= 1,000*40= $40,000

Total effect= 32,400 - 40,000= $7,600

Unless the capacity is expanded or some of the production gets outsource, the offer is not convenient.

Calhoun Crockery sold merchandise; the total proceeds collected, including a 7% sales tax, amounted to $74,900.
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

Option (b) is correct.

Explanation:

Sale value of the merchandise = $74,900

Sales tax liability = $74,900 × (7% ÷ 107%)

                         = $4,900

Sale value prior to sales tax = $74,900 - $4,900

                                               = $70,000

Sales tax @7% on $70,000 = $4,900

Hope the above calculation will clear the concept since the question clearly mention that

Calhoun Crockery sold merchandise; the total proceeds collected, including a 7% sales tax, amounted to $74,900.

This $74,900 includes 7% tax also it means that the collected proceed is 100% + 7% = 107%

which includes 7% tax liability.

"revenues from an unrented hotel room are lost forever" refers to which characteristic of services?
Slav-nsk [51]
<span>Perishability of the service sector. Perishability occurs because services cannot be stored for sale in the future. An empty seat in a plane can't be utilized after takeoff; a restaurant will have to serve fresh food because the previous food would be spoilt. There are many factors that causes service capacity perishability but demand seem to be the chief factor. Demand can vary by the season, time, and cycle; it is quite difficult to forecast sales. Once a service is lost, it is forver lost. And this is because like I said earlier most services cannot be stored, saved, retrieved, once they have been un-used. On a bad day, If a hotel manager end up with too many staff or few bookings. This, of course, means that he will be making losses because revenues from his unrented hotel room are lost forever.</span>
