Burka [1]

Answer:

profit + consumer surplus.

Explanation:

The profit obtained by the reseller is given by the difference between the amount received on sale ($75) and the purchase price ($40). The consumer surplus is determined as the difference between the willingness to pay ($90) and the actual amount paid ($75).

The sales budget for Modesto Corp. shows that 21,900 units of Product A and 23,900 units of Product B are going to be sold for p
rewona [7]

Answer:

22,290 units

Explanation:

Product A sales (S) = 21,900 units

Product A selling price = $11.90

Product A beggining inventory (I)= 3,900

Product A ending inventory (E) = 3,900 x 1.10 = 4,290

Budgeted purchases of product A must account for all of the projected sales and the desired ending inventory, assuming that the company already has a beginning inventory at hand. Budgeted Purchases of product A are given by:

B = S+E-I\\B= 21,900+4,290-3,900\\B= 22,290\ units

Chiquita produces bananas for an average explicit cost of $0.25 per banana and sells 1 million bananas per week for a price of $
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

Option (A) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Implicit costs per week = $200,000

Average explicit cost per banana = $0.25 per banana

Per week bananas sold = 1 million

Explicit cost = Average explicit cost per banana × No. of banana sold

                    = $0.25 × 1,000,000

                    = $250,000

Total revenue = No. of banana sold × Selling price of each banana

                        = 1,000,000 × $0.50

                        = $500,000

Accounting profit = Total revenue - Explicit cost

                             = $500,000 - $250,000

                             = $250,000

Economic profit:

= Total revenue - Explicit cost - Implicit costs

= $500,000 - $250,000 - $200,000

= $50,000

If the price elasticity of demand coefficient is 4, then:a. a price increase of 1% will reduce quantity demanded by 1/4%b. A pri
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

A price increase of 1% will reduce quantity demanded by 4%

Explanation:

If the price elasticity is 4 then, this demand is highly responsive to changes in price.

So it will decrease by more than the price increase.

we must remember that the price-elasticity is determinate  like:

↓QD / ΔP   = price-elasticity

if the cofficient is 4 then a 1% increase in price:

↓QD / 0.01 = 4

↓QD = 0.04

Quantity demanded will decrease by 4%
