Mekhanik [1.2K]3 years ago
6 0

Home heating oil is considered inelastic demand instead of elastic demand. Inelastic demand is when people will buy the same amount whether the price of the good drops or rises. People who buy home heating oil want their homes to be kept heated and warm, since they are buying it to serve a purpose like this, whether the price rises or drops they still will need it. Since they will need it regardless of price, they will continue to buy it and therefor it is inelastic.

SashulF [63]

Answer:

C. the need for dealers to cover expenses and make a profit

Explanation:

In the market for securities there are two pricing of securities.

The ask price or the offer price is price at which the seller of a security is willing to sell it. Ask price can be firm or negotiable.

Erie Company manufactures a mobile fitness device called the Jogging Mate. The company uses standards to control its costs. The
Tom [10]

a. Standard labor-hours is 7920 hours.

b. Standard labor cost allowed is $42,768.

c. The labor spending variance is $1588(U).

d.  The labor rate variance is $1706 and the labor efficiency variance $3294(U).

e.  The variable overhead rate is $5971(U) and efficiency variances for the month $5580(U).

<u>Explanation:</u>

a)Standars hours(SH) allowed to make 19800 jogging mates

=SH per unit \times 19800

=(24/60)*19800

=7920 hours

24/60 has been taken to convert minutes into hours.  

b)Standard Labor Cost (SC) of 19800 jogging mates

=19800 \times SC per unit=19800 \times $2.16\\=$42,768

=$42,768

c)Labour Spending Variance

=Standard Cost - Actual Cost(AC)=$42,768 - $44,356=$1588(U)

=$1588(U)

d)Labor Rate Variance  

=(SR per hour-AR per hour)\timesAH=(5.4-5.2)*8530=$1706(F)

=$1706

Actual Hours(AH) * Actual Rate per hour(AR)= Actual Cost(AC)

8530 \times AR = $44,356

AR = \frac{44356}{8530}\\ \\AR = 5.2

Labor Efficiency Variance

=(SH-AH) \times SR\\=(7920-8530)*$5.4=$3294(U)

=$3294(U)

e) Variable overhead rate variance = Actual hours worked  (Standard overhead rate - Actual overhead rate)

= 8530  (4.5 - 5.20)

= $5971(U)

Actual overhead rate = $44,356 / 8530 = 5.20

Variable overhead efficiency variance = Standard overhead rate   (Standard hours - Actual hours)

= 4.50  (7290 - 8530)

= $5580(U).

inna [77]

Group of answer choices.

A. Is not warm enough to the applicants.

B. Is perceived as less credible because she is an HR specialist.

C. Does not give applicants enough information, leaving them with more questions than answers.

D. Comes off as being too professional for someone in the HR field.

E. Is not approaching the candidate with enough skepticism.

Answer:

B. Is perceived as less credible because she is an HR specialist.

Explanation:

Human resources (HR) can be defined as an art of managing, controlling and improving the number of people (employees or workers), functions, activities which are being used effectively and efficiently by an organization.

Hence, human resources managers are saddled with the responsibility of managing and improving the welfare and working conditions of the employees working in an organization.

In this scenario, Maria is well respected among her peers for her professional standards and understanding of the HR field. She noticed that when she recruits engineers for her company, they sometimes seem unresponsive to her. Thus, the most likely reason for this is because Maria is perceived as less credible because she is an HR specialist and as such is considered not to have a deep understanding of the field of engineering to recruit a qualified and experienced candidate.

If a monopolistically competitive firm raises its price, it a. loses all of its customers (sales drop to zero) as your answer lo
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

c. loses some, but not all, of its customers as your answer loses some, but not all, of its customers

Explanation:

In a monopolistically competitive product is a product that has competition in the market, but that are not quite the same product, meaning they can´t be exactly replaced by a cheaper or different brand, when a company like that rises its prices, it eventually ends up loosing some clients, but not all, because of the loyal clients and those that can´t or won´t change brands, a good example of a monopolistically competitive firm, would be Apple, which has a loyal base of costumers that eventhough prices of apple products have been rising are still loyal, they are loosing some customers to other brands but not all of them.

If the monthly income of the IBM employees follows a SYMMETRICAL NORMAL distribution, with a median of $5000 and a standard devi
AURORKA [14]

Answer:  mean monthly income = $5000

====================================================

Explanation

In any normal distribution, the median and mean are the same value.

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

The proof is as follows:

If mean > median was the case, then the distribution would be skewed to the right (ie positively skewed). The right tail is pulled longer than the left tail. But this would contradict the symmetrical nature of the normal distribution. So mean > median must not be the case.

If mean < median, then the distribution would be skewed to the left (negatively skewed). Visually this pulls the left tail longer than the right tail. Like in the previous paragraph, this contradicts the symmetrical nature of the normal distribution. So mean < median must not be the case.

Since mean > median cannot be true, and neither can mean < median, this must indicate mean = median.

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

So in short, any symmetrical distribution always has mean = median and they are at the very center of the distribution.
