The Acmeville Metropolitan Bus Service currently charges $0.99 for an all-day ticket, and has an average of 588 riders a day. Th

e bus company is not earning a profit, but according to their contract with the city, they cannot cut the number of buses on the road. They must therefore find a way to increase revenues. The bus company is considering increasing the ticket price to $ 1.1 . The marketing department's studies indicate this price increase would reduce usage to 337 riders per day. Calculate the absolute value of the price elasticity of demand for bus tickets using the simple percentage change method. Round your answer to one decimal place.

Answer:

-3.88 or 3.88

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the absolute value of the price elasticity of demand

Using this formula

Price elasticity of Demand = % change in quantity demanded / % change in price

Price elasticity of Demand =%∆QD / %∆P

Let plug in the formula

Price elasticity of Demand= (( 337 - 588 )/( 1.1- 0.99)) * ( 0.99 / 588 )

Price elasticity of Demand= (-251 / 0.11) * ( 0.0017)

Price elasticity of Demand= -22,81.8181 * 0.0017

Price elasticity of Demand= -3.88 or 3.88 ( absolute value)

Therefore the absolute value of the price elasticity of demand will be -3.88 or 3.88

The annual carrying cost for a consumer product is $115, the ordering cost is $1,150, and the annual demand is estimated to be 1
STatiana [176]

Answer:

Store should take the advantage of discount.

Explanation:

Economic order quantity is the level of units ordered which minimize the total cost.

The economic order quantity (EOQ) is computed by applying the following formula

EOQ = [ ( 2DO ) / H ]^1/2

where D = Annual Demand in units = 1,000

S = Setup or ordering cost = $1,150

H = Holding or carrying cost per unit, per year = $115

EOQ = [ ( 2 x 1,000 x $1,150 ) / $115 ]^1/2

EOQ = [ $2,300,000 / $115 ]^1/2

EOQ = 20,000^1/2

EOQ = 141.42 units

Cost of EOQ

Purchasing cost =  1,000 x $810 = $810,000

Ordering cost = (1,000 / 141.42) x $1,150 = $8,132

Carrying cost = ( 141.42 / 2 ) x $115 = $8,132

Total cost = $810,000 + $8,132 + $8,132 = $826,264

Cost of Discount

Purchasing cost =  1,000 x $810 x 80% = $648,000

Ordering cost = (1,000 / 151) x $1,150 = $7,616

Carrying cost = ( 151 / 2 ) x $115 = $8,683

Total cost = $648,000 + $7,616 + $8,683 = $664,299

Store should take the advantage of discount because it incurs lower cost.

A manufacturing company has budgeted production at 940 units for the month. Each unit requires 3.5
USPshnik [31]

The total cost of direct labor for the month will be $ 49350, if the company has budgeted production at 940 units for the month, each unit requires 3.5 hours of labor to produce and the average labor rate is $15 per hour.

Explanation:

The given is,

          Total units produced in a month

                                 = 940 unit per month

          Time for each unit

                                 = 3.5 unit per hour

               Labor rate = $15 per hour

Step:1

           Total Labor working hours for 940 units,

                                  = Total units × Time for each unit

                                  = 940 × 3.5

                                  = 3290 hours

Step:2

           Labor cost total working hours

                                 = Total Labor working hours × Labor cost per hour

                                 = 3290 × 15

                                 = $ 49350

Result:

         The total cost of direct labor for the month will be $ 49350, if the company has budgeted production at 940 units for the month, each unit requires 3.5 hours of labor to produce and the average labor rate is $15 per hour.

Answer:

Advantage in competition. ( competitive advantage)

Explanation: Whenever a hospital is more equipped or fully equipped with tools, machines, and any other factor that favors the saving of lives, that hospital will mostly have the upper hand in competition against it's rivals. It is safe to say a heart patient who is facing a life threatening situation would rather be taken to such a hospital for quick response to save their lives. A hospital less equipped with these kind of machines , especially those needed in critical moments like defibrillating someone who is experiencing cardiac arrest, will less likely be a first choice to treating patients of these nature. In critical moments like these a hospital better equipped will always be the first choice, disregarding other factors like cost. Now distance could be critical, but again, almost always if the distance is not too long then the better equipped gets the patients.
