Answer:

The price of tee times needs to be decreased by 6.67%.

Explanation:

The manager wants to increase the number of tee times sold by 10 percent.

The price elasticity of demand for tee times is –1.5.

Percentage change in price of tee times to increase the demand by 10%

Price elasticity of demand = \frac{\% \Delta Q}{\% \Delta P}

-1.5 = \frac{10 \%}{\% \Delta P}

\% \Delta P = \frac{10}{-1.5}\% \Delta P = -6.67 \%

12345 [234]

Answer:

46.67%

Explanation:

Gross margin is the ratio of gross profit to the total sales. The gross profit is the difference between the sales and cost of goods sold. Other cost given such as land and selling and distribution cost make up assets and  operating expenses respectively.

Hence

Gross profit = $30,000 - $16,000

= $14,000

Gross margin = $14,000/$30,000

= 0.4667

The company's gross margin is 46.67%.

Art [367]

Answer: Please see Explanation for answer.

Explanation:

January 01, 2021:

Cash Debit 44,221

Bonds Payable Credit 44,221

Since the bonds were sold at a discount, the entry to record the first interest payment (using straight line amortization of the premium) would be:

Interest expense ($44,221× 6% × 6months/12months ) = $1,326.63 =$1,327

Suppose independent truckers operate in a perfectly competitive constant cost industry. If these firms are earning positive econ
Deffense [45]

Answer:

The price of trucking services would fall until equilibrium prices are reached. Only normal profit would be earned in the long run

Explanation:

A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.  

In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit.  If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.  

Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.
