Consider two markets: the market for coffee and the market for hot cocoa·The initial equilibrium for both markets is the same, t

den301095 [7]

Answer:

The elasticity of supply for hot cocoa is 1.43.

(D) Supply in the market for coffee is less elastic than supply in the market for hot cocoa

Explanation:

Using the midpoint formula,

Elasticity of supply for hot cocoa = (change in quantity supplied/average quantity supplied) ÷ (change in price/average price)

change in quantity supplied = 101 - 31 = 70

average quantity supplied = (101+31)/2 = 66

70/66 = 1.06

change in price = 9.75 - 4.5 = 5.25

average price = (9.75+4.5)/2 = 7.125

5.25/7.125 = 0.74

Elasticity of supply for hot cocoa = 1.06 ÷ 0.74 = 1.43. The supply for hot cocoa is elastic because the elasticity of supply is greater than 1.

Elasticity of supply for coffee = (73 - 31)/(73+31)/2 ÷ 0.74 = 42/52 ÷ 0.74 = 0.81 ÷ 0.74 = 1.09. The supply for coffee is elastic because the elasticity of supply is greater than 1.

However, supply in the market for coffee is less elastic than supply in the market for hot cocoa because the elasticity of supply for coffee is less than that of hot coffee.

A cost that cannot be avoided or changed because it arises from a past decision, and is irrelevant to future decisions, is calle

Stella [2.4K]

Answer: Sunk cost

Explanation:

A sunk cost is a cost that an individual, firm or the government has already incurred and therefore can't be recovered anymore.

For example, marketing campaign expenses, rent or the money that is spent on purchasing new equipment can all be referred to as sunk costs as they are past cost and can't be recovered again.

Reba dixon is a fifth-grade schoolteacher who earned a salary of $38,000 in 2017. she is 45 years old and has been divorced for

dezoksy [38]

Explanation

a.

Alimony received: $1,200 per month × 12 months = $14,400

Gift from mother = $3,000 gift excluded from income

Disability insurance payments: $800 of $2,000 (40%) of payment excluded because taxpayer paid 40% of premium on insurance policy = $1,200

Moving expenses: $2,010 (for moving company) + $200 (for lodging) + $242 for mileage (1,426 miles × .17 cents per mile) = $2,452

Medical expenses: $6,445 − $6,385 [10% × (3)] = $60

Casualty loss deduction: $900 − $100 = $800 − $6,385 [10% × (3)] = $0

Personal and dependency exemptions: One personal and one for Heather. See Note A. below (2 × $4,050) = $8,100

Tax on taxable income: See head of household tax rate schedule; $1,335 + $4,955.70 [15% × ($46,388 − $13,350)] = $6,291

Note A. The first question we have to answer to determine Reba’s filing status is whether she can claim Heather as a dependent. If so, she may qualify for head of household filing status. If not, she will file a single taxpayer.

Does Heather qualify as Reba’s dependent? Yes, as analyzed below.

TestIs Heather a qualifying child of Reba?RelationshipYes, daughterAgeYes, under age 24 and a full- time student (and younger than Reba).ResidenceYes, Heather had the same principal residence as Reba for the entire year.SupportYes. Heather did not provide more than half of her own support. Her scholarship does not count as support she provided for herself because she is Reba’s child.

Red Builders agrees to construct a new building for Blue Co. for a total contract price of $6,000,000. The estimated constructio

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer: $300,000

Explanation:

Total expected costs = cost incurred to date + estimated cost to complete

= 1,200,000 + 3,600,000

= 4,800,000

$Percentage of completion=\frac{Cost\ incurred\ to\ date}{Total\ expected\ cost}\times 100$

$Percentage of completion=\frac{1,200,000}{4,800,000}\times 100$

= 0.25

= 25%

Profit = contract revenue - Total expected costs

= $6,000,000 - 4,800,000

= $1,200,000

Cumulative gross profit = Profit × Percentage of completion

= $1,200,000 × 0.25

= $300,000

Therefore, Red Builders should have recognized profit at the end of year 1 in the amount of $300,000.

Which of the following statements is CORRECT?

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

c. The "apparent," but not necessarily the "true," financial position of a company whose sales are seasonal can change dramatically during a given year, depending on the time of year when the financial statements are constructed.

Explanation:

Financial statements are used to show the financial activity of a business within a given period.

One of the principles of a accounting is periodicity. This requires businesses to report their financial position at regular intervals consistently, and not in an inconsistent manner. So if a business reports their finances twice a year. At year end and at mid year, it is possible that at mid year due to seasonal sales performance will be high and business is perceived to be highly profitable.

But financial report at end of year in the off-season will show low performance.

So for seasonal businesses there can be apparent view of a business during the year that can change dramatically because of time at which reports are made.
