John received a promotion at work and felt new clothes would be necessary in the new position. John went to a local store and ch

arged three ties on his charge account at a cost of $60 each. Bill, a friend of John's, saw a sidewalk vendor selling ties at a cost of three for $10 and bought three at that price. The friends compared purchases that night and found that they had purchased identical ties. John became enraged and said that he would not pay the charge-account bill because the ties were clearly not worth $60 each. Bill indicated that he would testify on John's behalf if litigation ensued. What would be the probable outcome of the lawsuit

Answer:

John will lose the lawsuit

Explanation:

Businesses have a right to set the price of their products, and when the customers considers the price and agrees with it the deal is sealed.

In the given scenario John made the purchase at $60 per tie and he was satisfied with the sale at point of purchase.

He only became enraged when Bill told him he bought his identical ties at $10.

John will lose a lawsuit of he fails to pay the charge-account bill because he willingly agreed to the $60 per tie price.

Answer: Inelastic

Explanation:

Based on the information given, we would calculate the elasticity of demand which would be:

= (Change in Quantity / Change in Price) (Initial Price/ Initial Quantity)

Change in Quantity = 1800 - 2000 = -200

Change in Price = 50 - 40 = 10

Initial Price = 40

Initial Quantity = 2000

Elasticity of demand would then be:

= (-200/10)(40/2000)

= (-20)(0.02)

= -0.4

Since elasticity of demand is less than 1, it is an inelastic demand.

Damm [24]

Answer:

Labor productivity in units per labor hour for Deluxe car = 0.19 per hour

Labor productivity in units per labor hour for Limited car = 0.24 per hour

Labor productivity in dollar of output per dollar of labor expense for Deluxe car = $98.75

Labor productivity in dollar of output per dollar of labor expense for Limited car = $128.69

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete and its data are merged together. The complete question with the sorted data is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

Two types of cars (Deluxe and Limited) were produced by a car manufacturer last year. Quantities sold, price per unit, and labor hours are given below.

                                QUANTITY                     $/UNIT

Deluxe car            3,655 units sold            $7,700/car

Limited car           5,850 units sold            $9,200/car

Labor, Deluxe        19,000 hours                 $15/hour

Labor, Limited       24,600 hours                 $17/hour

What is the labor productivity for each car? Provide two sets of figures: units per labor hour, and dollar of output per dollar of labor expense. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

The explanation of the answers is now provided as follows:

For each type of car, the following formulae can be used:

Labor productivity in units per labor hour = Units sold / Labor hours ……. (1)

Labor productivity in dollar of output per dollar of labor expense = (Units sold * Price per car) / (Labor hours / Labor rate per hour) ……………. (2)

Using equation (1), we have:

Labor productivity in units per labor hour for Deluxe car = 3,655 / 19,000 = 0.19 per hour

Labor productivity in units per labor hour for Limited car = 5,850 / 24,600 = 0.24 per hour

Using equation (2), we have:

Labor productivity in dollar of output per dollar of labor expense for Deluxe car = (3,655 * $7,700) / (19,000 * $15) = $98.75

Labor productivity in dollar of output per dollar of labor expense for Limited car = (5,850 * $9,200) / (24,600 * $17) = $128.69

These can be translated into a table as follows:

                                     Labor Productivity  

                               Units/hour         Dollars

Deluxe Car              0.19/hour           $98.75

Limited Car             0.24/hour         $128.69

rosijanka [135]

Answer: a). Firm's growth rate = 10.5%

b). Next year's earnings = $30,940,000.00

Explanation: Earnings growth rate is the percentage change in earnings given specific variables.

The firm's earnings growth rate g = Return on equity (ROE) × Retained earnings (b) = 0.15(0.70)

g =0.105 or 10.5%

In finding next year's earnings, we multiply the current earnings times one plus the growth rate.

Next year's earnings = Current earnings(1 + g)

Next year's earnings = 28,000,000(1 + 0.105)

Next year's earnings = $30,940,000.00
