Supply is more elastic over long periods than over short periods because:_____.

Business
1 answer:
Vikki [24]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Price elasticity of supply measures the responsiveness of quantity supplied to changes in price of the good.

Price elasticity of supply = percentage change in quantity supplied / percentage change in price

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

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

The short run is a period where all  factors of production are fixed. In the short run, a firm would continue to produce if price is above average variable cost. If this is not the case, it would shut down

The long run is a period where all factors of production are varied. It is known as the planning time for a company

Supply is more elastic in the long run than in the short run because the producer can make adjustments in the long run

A company wants to set up operations in a country with the following corporate tax rate structure: Taxable Income Tax Rate <$
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Taxable income = $240,000

Amount payable = $64,850

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

Taxable income :

Gross revenue = $400,000

Total cost = $100,000

Net profit = $400,000 - $100,000 = $300,000

Allowable tax deduction = $60,000

Taxable income = $300,000 - $60,000

= $240,000

Tax to be paid :

Computation of tax       Amount to be taxed           Rate            Tax

$50,000                                 $50,000                        15%            $7,500

$50,000 to $75,000             $25,000                        25%           $6,250

$75,000 to $100,000           $25,000                         34%           $8,500

More than $100,000             $140,000                       39%           $54,600

Total tax                                                                                           $76,850

Amount payable = Total tax - Tax credit

= $76,850 - $12,000

=$64,850

Williams Corp. is considering signing contracts that will obligate the firm to purchase 100000 Swiss Francs worth of computer eq
ella [17]

Answer:

$80,000

Explanation:

Given that at the end of each quarter, William corporation will purchase 100,000 Swiss francs worth of computer equipment for next 2 years. A local high school will still purchase this computer equipment at $89,000 each quarter for the next 2 years.

This means, we have the following:

Cost of purchase = 100,000 * number of quaters = 100,000 * 8 = 800,000

Convert to USD at an exchange rate of $0.79 = 800,000 * 0.79 = $632,000

Cost of purchase in USD = $632,000

Also, find the revenue generated after selling the computer equipments to the high school.

Revenue generated = $89,000 * number of quaters = $89,000 * 8 = $712,000

Williams' profit or loss would be calculated using the following:

Profit(loss) = Revenue generated - Cost of purchase

= $712,000 - $632,000

= $80,000

Since we have a positive value, Williams would make a profit of $80,000 through out the life of the contract.

In this case, the total hours the asset is expected to work.

Cost of machine $ 40,000,000.00

Salvage value : $ 47,000.00

total hours machine should work: 33,000.00

Depreciable amount: = Cost price- salvage value

    =$40,000,000.00-$47,000.00

    =$39,953,000.00

Depreciation per hour= $39,953,000.00/33000

    =1,210.6969

    =1,210.70

Depreciation for 2018     =1210.7x4000

    =$4,842,800.00
