Katarina [22]

Answer:

The new Quantity to be sold at $1 is 200 in the short run

Explanation:

The question is to determine the Popsicle sold each day in the short run for a price rise of $1

The formula to use for the Price elasticity of supply in short run

(New Quantity demanded - Old Quantity demanded )/ Old Quantity + New Quantity/ 2

(New Price - Old Price) / (Old Price + New Price)/ 2

The formula can also be simply written as

[(Q2 – Q1)/{(Q1 + Q2)/2}] / [(P2 – P1)/{(P1 + P2)/2}]

Step 2: Solve using the formula

Old Quantity = 100

New Quantity = Q2

Old Price = 0.50

New Price = $1

Solve:

[(Q2 – 100)/{(100+ Q2)/2}] / [(1 – 0.50)/{(0.50 + 1)/2}] = 1

=100 + Q2= 3Q2-300

= 2Q2= 400

Q2= 400/2

Q2= 200

The new Quantity to be sold at $1 is 200

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

tractor 35,127,42 debit

note payable 32,172.42 credit

cash 3,000 credit

--to record issuance--

Note payale end of 2018

39,584.19

note payables at Dec 31th

Note payable at the end of 2019

39,584.19

note payables at Dec 31th

Explanation:

As the note has zero.interest we discount the note to get the present value:

$\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Maturity $44,000.0000

time 3.00

rate 0.11

$\frac{44000}{(1 + 0.11)^{3} } = PV$

PV 32,172.42

The difference will be a discount that will acrrue interest overtime.

the truck will enter the accounting net of interest charges thus:

3,000 downpayment + 32,127.42 = 35,127.42‬

interest will be: 32,127.42 x 1.11 = 32,127.41

(32,127.41 + 3,532.0162) x 1.11 = 39,584.19

An organizational chart of a company shows vice presidents with responsibility for key areas such as design, manufacturing, sale

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer: Functional

Explanation: The functional structure of an organisational chart places people with similar skills who perform similar activities in a group under a common manager who answers to an executive a level up in the hierarchy who may oversee multiple departments. Therefore, an organizational chart of a company showing vice presidents with responsibility for key areas such as design, manufacturing, sales, marketing, and after-sales support would reflect a functional structure.

An advantage of the functional structure is that employees are allowed to focus their collective energies on executing their roles as a department but sometimes they might develop tunnel vision (seeing the company solely through the lens of the employee’s job function) and often at times there is a lack of inter-departmental communication.
