Answer:

Elastic; Inelastic; If a good is narrowly defined

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded with any change in the price level of the product.

(a) If the price elasticity of demand is greater than one in absolute terms then the demand for that product is said to be elastic. Therefore, the demand for Post Raisin Bran cereal is elastic.

(b) Alternatively, if the price elasticity of demand is less than one in absolute terms then the demand for that product is said to be inelastic. Therefore, the demand for all types of breakfast cereals is inelastic.

(c) If the goods are narrowly defined, this means that there are large number of substitutes available. This indicates that the demand for these goods is elastic. Alternatively, if the goods are broadly defined then there are less number of substitutes are available. This means that the demand for these products is inelastic.

Look at Exercise 19.2. Compute the opportunity costs of producing sweaters and wine in both France and Tunisia. Who has the lowe
monitta

Answer:

Answer Illustration : Opportunity Cost of producing Wine is lesser in France, Opportunity Cost of producing Sweaters is lesser in Tunisia. So, France has comparative advantage in Wine, Tunisia in Sweater.

Explanation:

Opportunity Cost is the cost of next best alternative foregone while choosing an alternative.

Opportunity Cost of producing Sweaters & Wine in France & Tunisia are quantities of other goods (Sweaters or Tunias) sacrifised while choosing either. Sweater Opportunity Cost - Wines sacrifised, Wine Opportunity Cost - Sweaters sacrifised.

The country has a comparative advantage in a good if it can produce it with relatively less opportunity cost (in terms of other good sacrifised) than other country.

Ex : Production Possibilities

                   Wine            Sweater    Trade off (Wine :Sweater)

France          10                   5              1:0.5  or 2:1

Tunisia          8                   24              1:3  or 0.33:1

  • France produces Wine with lesser opportunity cost (sweater sacrifised) than Tunisia  [0.5 sweater < 3 sweaters] ; it has comparative advantage in Wine.
  • Tunisia produces Sweater with less opportunity cost (wine sacrifised) than France [ 0.33 wine <  2 wines] ; it has comparative advantage in Tunisia

Annette [7]

Answer:

(1) $2,720

(2) $2,220

Explanation:

Given the following sequence:

300 units at $6, 400 units at $7 and 200 units at $8

(1) FIFO method

Ending inventory = 360 units

Cost of ending Inventory:

= 200 units at $8 + 160 units at $7

= 200 × $8 + 160 × $7

= 1,600 + 1,120

= $2,720

(2) LIFO method

Cost of ending Inventory:

= 300 units at $6 + 60 units at $7

= 300 × $6 + 60 × $7

= 1,800 + 420

= $2,220
