Answer: False

Explanation:

The price elasticity of supply measures the change in quantity supplied when the price changes.

The basic trend is that when price increases, quantity supplied increases as well. The reverse is true.

Price elasticity of supply = %Change in quantity supplied / % change in price

0.5 = -6% / Change in price

0.5 * Change in price = -6%

Change in price = -6% / 0.5

= -12%

The statement above is therefore false because price should have reduced by 12% for quantity supplied to reduce by 6%

sertanlavr [38]

Answer: Statement 1 ( Laptop) = Producer surplus

  • <em>I sold a watch for $59 on eBay last week. This week, someone offered me $145 for it.  </em>neither

Two types of cars (Deluxe and Limited) were produced by a car manufacturer last year. Quantities sold, price per unit, and labor
frez [133]

Answer and Explanation:

Labor Productivity in Units per hour

Labor Hours Productivity(In units) =  Total Output / Input hours

For Deluxe Cars =  5,000 units / 21,250 hours = 0.24 units per hour (approx)

For Limited Cars =  6,250 units / 29,950 hours = 0.21  units per hour (approx)

Labor Productivity in dollars

Labor Hours Productivity(In dollars) =  Total Output in dollar / (Input hours x rates)

For Deluxe Cars =  (5,000 units x $8,500) / (21,250 hours x $13) = $42,500,000 / $276,250 = $153.84 per unit

For Limited Cars =  (6,250 units x $10,100) / (29,950 hours x $15) = $63,125,000 / $499,250 = $126.44 per unit

gladu [14]

Answer:

91 days

Explanation:

Here, we are to calculate the average number of days it will take to sell its inventory in 2019.

We proceed mathematically as follows;

Inventory turnover=COGS/Average inventory

Average inventory=(192,000 + 202,000)/2=$197,000

hence inventory turnover=(790,000/197,000)= 4.01

hence average days to sell=365/4.01 =91 days (approx)
