Answer:

The U.S. newspaper industry is suffering through what could be its worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. Advertising revenues have plummeted due in part to the severe economic downturn, while readership habits have changed as consumers turn to the Internet for free news and information. Some major newspaper chains are burdened by heavy debt loads. Between 2008 and early 2010, eight major newspaper chains declared bankruptcy, several big city papers shut down, and many laid off reporters and editors, imposed pay reductions, cut the size of the physical newspaper, or turned to Web-only publication.

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

Total overhead assigned to each the 35mm camera $ 66,000

An Activity Rate for receiving $8 per receiving order

Receiving costs for 35mm camera $1600

An Activity Rate for packing $ 10 per packing order

Explanation:

Product Machine Hours Setups Receiving Orders Packing Orders

35mm 10,000 100 200 400

Digital 10,000 250 800 2000

Cost $60,000 $40,000 $8,000 $24,000

Total Overhead Costs= $ 60,000 + $ 40,000 + $ 8000+ $ 24,000= $132,000

Total overhead assigned to each the 35mm camera=( Total Costs/Total Machine Hours) * 35mm camera machine hours

Total overhead assigned to each the 35mm camera= ($ 132,000/ 20,000)10,000= $ 66,000

An Activity Rate for receiving based on receiving orders= 8000/1000= $8 per receiving order

Receiving costs for 35mm camera= 8 * 200= $1600

An Activity Rate for packing based on packing orders = 24000/ 2400= $ 10 per packing order

Explanation:

Prices are sticky in the short run because producers and buyers take time to adapt to new situations. If there is a shortage of butter, lets say, the economic theory says that the prices will rise because there is less butter ( ceteris paribus = all the other factors remain constant). Actually, buyers and suppliers need time to adapt to the new situation. However, in the long run buyers and suppliers have time to adapt to new situations so prices become more flexible.
