Answer:

Economies of scale

Explanation:

The firm is experiencing economies of scale. Economies of scale result in a decreased average cost of production. Production increases and therefore the fixed cost is distributed more and average fixed cost becomes lesser and lesser as output increases. This leads to a decline in average total cost( As average total cost is the sum of average variable cost and average fixed cost, therefore a decline in average fixed cost leads to a decline in average total cost). This can be seen by an assymptotic average fixed cost for the firm which experiences economies of scale.

To conduct an experiment, a movie theater increased movie ticket prices from $9 to $10 and measured the change in ticket sales.
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

RELATIVELY INELASTIC

more elastic

less

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.

Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price  

If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.  

Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one

Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded

If demand is relatively inelastic and price increases, there would be little or no change in the quantity demanded and as a result, total revenue would increase

If demand were elastic and prices were increased, quantity demanded would fall more than the increase in price. As a result, total revenue would fall

In the long run, people have more time to search for suitable alternatives. Thus, demand tends to be more elastic in the long run

If the long run, price is increased, the total quantity demanded would fall and revenue would fall

A manager doing performance appraisals gives more weight to recent employee behaviors than to behaviors of 6 or 9 months earlier
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": availability.

Explanation:

Availability bias or availability heuristic refers to individuals tending to relate the easiest judgment they can recall about a certain matter as its most suitable metric and even a metric that could predict future behavior on that topic. This happens because those people make assumptions based on what they can remember of that matter which might not be necessarily the most accurate input about it.

Therefore,<em> if a manager is measuring performance only placing focus on employees' recent and not past behavior, the manager is implementing availability bias.</em>

Carney Company manufactures cappuccino makers. For the first eight months of 2019, the company reported the following operating
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Total  effect on income= $190,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales (500,000 units) $90,000,000

Cost of goods sold 54,000,000

Gross profit 36,000,000

Operating expenses 24,000,000

Net income $12,000,000

An analysis of costs and expenses reveals that the variable cost of goods sold is $95 per unit and variable operating expenses are $35 per unit. In September, Carney Company receives a special order for 40,000 machines at $135 each from a major coffee shop franchise. Acceptance of the order would result in $10,000 of shipping costs but no increase in fixed expenses

Because it is a special offer and there is unused capacity, we will not have into account the fixed costs.

Total unitary cost= 95 + 35 + (10,000/40,000)= 130.25

Contribution margin= 135 - 130.25= 4.75

Total  effect on income= 4.75*40,000= $190,000
