Answer:

Alex may have to lower the price to convince Clara to buy a second slice.

Explanation:

Marginal utility is an economic concept that says that a consumer recieves more marginal utility in the first consumption of a good or services than in the second and the subsequents. In fact with each consumption the marginal utility reduces, this effect is known as diminishing marginal utility.

One of the the methods to reduce the effects of the diminishing marginal utility is to reduces prices. As the utility of a product decreases as its consumption increases, consumers are willing to pay smaller amount of money for more of the product.

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

----------------------    -   -------------------------------

Factory Payroll         21030

             Cash                        21030

----------------------    -    -------------------------------

Goods in process     16200

Factory Overhead     4830

       Factory Payroll               21030

----------------------    -    -------------------------------

Explanation: The payment of the total labor factory costs must be recorded, we debit the "Factory payroll" cost account and credit the "cash" account as they were paid in cash.

Then we must allocate these costs to the production process, therefore we debit the "goods in process" account for the amount of <u>direct labor</u> consumed, and "factory overhead" for the amount of <u>indirect labor </u>consumed, and finally credit the account " Factory payroll " for the total.

The price elasticity of demand for beef is about 0.60. Other things equal, this means that a 20 percent increase in the price of
givi [52]

Answer:

Quantity of beef demanded will decrease by 12%

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Price elasticity of demand for beef, Ed = 0.60

Increase in the price of beef = 20%

Now,

Price elasticity of demand for beef,

Ed = [ Percentage change in Quantity ] ÷ [ Percentage change in price  ]

or

0.60 = [ Percentage change in Quantity ] ÷ 20%

or

Percentage change in Quantity = 0.60 × 20%

or

Percentage change in Quantity = 12%

Also,

Price and Quantity are inversely proportional

Hence,

With the increase in price, the quantity will decrease

Therefore,

Quantity of beef demanded will decrease by 12%

You can buy a car that is advertised for $24,600 on the following terms: (a) pay $24,600 and receive a $4,600 rebate from the ma
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

A. $20,000

B. $17,234.18

C.Option (b)

Explanation:

Obviously, the option with lower Present Value would be the best option to buy the car. The Present Value of the options can find out as following

REQUIREMENT A

Price of car = $24,600  

Rebate = $4,600

Present value of the payments for option  = Price of the car – rebate  

Present value of the payments for option (a) = $24,600 - $4,600

Present value of the payments for option = $20,000

REQUIREMENT B

We can use the following Present Value of an Annuity formula to calculate the present value of the payments

PV of the payments for option  = PMT * [1-(1+i) ^-n)]/i

PV of the payments for option (b) (PV) =?

Monthly payment PMT =$410 per month

Number of payments n = 5 years *12 months = 60

Monthly interest rate i=1.25% per month or 0.0125

PV of the payments for option  = $410 x [1- (1+0.0125) ^-60]/0.0125

PV of the payments for option  = $17,234.18

REQUIREMENT C.

Which is the better deal?

Option (b) is better deal as the present value of payments ($17,234.18) is less than Present value of the payments for option (a); $20,000.
