uppose the annual demand function for the Honda Accord is Qd = 430 – 10 PA + 10 PC – 10 PGwhere PA and PC are the prices of the

Accord and the Toyota Camry respectively (in thousands), and PGis the price of gasoline (per gallon). What is the elasticity of demand of the Accord with respect to the price of Camry when both cars sell for $20,000 and fuel costs $3 per gallon? What is the elasticity with respect to the price of gasoline?

Answer:

Qd = 400 units

elasticity of demand of the Accord with respect to the price of Camry = 0.5

elasticity with respect to the price of gasoline = -0.075

Explanation:

Solution:

The annual demand function for the Honda Accord is:

Qd = 430 – 10 PA + 10 PC – 10 PG

Where,

PA = Price of Honda Accord

PC = Price of Honda Camry

PG = Price of Gasoline per gallon.

Selling Price of both cars = $20,000

Fuel Cost = $3 per gallon.

a) Elasticity of Demand of the Accord with respect to the price of Camry.

First, we need to calculate the number of units demanded.

Qd = 430 – 10 PA + 10 PC – 10 PG

Qd = 430 – 10 (20) + 10 (20) – 10 (3.00)

Qd = 430 - 200 + 200 - 30

Qd = 430 - 30

Qd = 400 units

Cross-price elasticity of the Accord with respect to the price of the Camry will be:

Cross Price = (dQd/dPC) x (PC)/(Qd)

dQd/dPC = 10

PC = 20

Qd = 400

So,

Cross Price = 10* 20/400

Cross Price  = 0.5

b) Elasticity with respect to the price of gasoline?

Elasticity =  (dQd/dPG)*(PG/Qd)

dQd/dPG = -10

PG = 20

Qd = 400

Elasticity  = (-10)*(3/400)

Elasticity  =  -0.075

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

It will take 4.2 years

Explanation:

The amount due in the future when a sum of money is invested at a particular interest rate for certain number of years is called Future or compound value.

To calculate the compound value, we use the formula below:

FV = PV * (1+r)^n

FV- future value, PV - Present value, r - interest rate, n - number of years

In this question,

FV - 15,000, PV- 5000, r -3%, n- ?

Substituting this value we have:

15,000 = 5000 × (1+0.03)^n

15000 = 5000 ×  1.03^n

1.03^n = 15,000/5000

1.03^n = 3

log 1.03^n = Log 3

n = Log 3/log 1.03

n = 4.18735

It will take about 4.2 years for the account to reach $15,000

The Reuschel Company began 2018 with inventory of 21,000 units at a cost of $8 per unit. During 2018, 61,000 units were purchase
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

1. The Cost of Goods Sold for the period ended 2018 is 682,950.

2. If FIFO method has been used, the Cost of Goods Sold would have been 660,525. Hence, LIFO method has reduced Gross Profit by 22,425 (682,950 - 660,525).

Explanation:

LIFO is one of the methods to calculate cost of goods sold. It assumes that the recently purchased stock is sold first. When a company uses LIFO method, it gets a higher cost of goods sold figure because of Inflation factor.

In the example shared, the company has opening stock of 21,000 units which were purchased at a unit price of $8. During the Year, further units were purchased but this time at a unit cost of $9.95. It is given that the Sales were of 70,500 units. Since the company uses LIFO method, it must remove the recently purchased stock from its books first. So,

61,000 * 9.95 = $606,950.

But the company sold 70,500 units. It means that 61,000 of recently purchased goods were sold and the remaining (70,500 - 61,000) from opening stock.

9,500 * 8 = $76,000. This gives us total CGS of $682,950 (606,950 + 76,000).

If you have any further queries, feel free to ask me. Thanks!
