Answer:

first we must calculate the original value of the goods produced = $240 x 2,600 = $624,000

original cost = $125 x 2,600 = $325,000

original amount of labor used = (72 + 32) x 40 = 4,160 hours

value of goods after change = 3,800 x $240 = $912,000

cost after change = 3,800 x $152 = $577,600

labor used after change = (72 + 32) x 72 = 7,488 hours

a) original multifactor productivity = $624,000 / $325,000 = $1.92 per dollar spent

multifactor productivity after change = $912,000 / $577,600 = $1.58 per dollar spent

multifactor productivity decreased by 17.71%

b) original labor productivity = $624,000 / 4,160 hours = $150 per labor hour

labor productivity after change = $912,000 / 7,488 hours = $121.79 per labor hour

labor productivity decreased by 18.81%

c) change in weekly profits = ($912,000 - $577,600) - ($624,000 - $325,000 = $35,400 increase

A monopolist has four distinct groups of customers. Group A has an elasticity of demand of​ 0.2, B has an elasticity of demand o
Bumek [7]

Answer:  Group A

Explanation:

Price Elasticity of demand refers to the sensitivity of quantity demanded given a change in price. In other words, how much will quantity demanded change if price changes. Higher elastcities mean that when prices change, their quantity demanded changes more. For instance, an elasticity of demand of 2 means that when prices rise by 2%, demand will decrease by 4%.

The group that will be paying the most therefore will have to be the group that is least sensitive to paying that high price. That would be Group A. As they are not very sensitive to price changes with an elasticity of 0.2, the Monopoly can increase their price to a higher point than others knowing that they won't demand less goods.

Six years ago a commercial property owner paid $490,000 for her complex which included 10 acres of land valued at $100,000. Usin
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

AS land cannot be depreciated we will first subtract the value of the land from the complex so we are left with $390,000 (490,000-100,000)

In straight line method each year the asset is depreciated by the same amount so in order to find out yearly depreciation we will divide 390,000 by 40

=9750

In 6 years the complex has depreciated for $58,500

So the current value of the apartment complex would be (490,000-58500)

The current value of the apartment complex is $431500

Why might a person decide to take advantage of a non-installment credit offer?
Korolek [52]
A person would take advantage of a non installment credit offer if there was no interest charged on on the loan. Many of these offers will not charge interest on the loans if the loan is paid off in a short amount of time. Usually within 3 to six months of the time the loan is started. These offers are usually for appliances and furniture. You can always ask the store you are visiting if they have these offers available. If you don't pay the loan off within the amount of time, you are then charged the interest and have a longer amount of time to pay the loan off.
