Answer:

equilibrium quantity would increase

there would be an indeterminate effect on equilibrium price

Explanation:

Due to the increase in popularity of the tea, the demand for the tea would rise. This would lead to a rightward shift of the demand curve. Equilibrium price and quantity would rise.

If taxes are reduced, the cost of producing tea would reduce. This would encourage producers to start making tea. As a result, the supply of tea would increase. This would lead to a rightward shift of the supply curve for tea. As a result, equilibrium price would fall and equilibrium quantity would increase.

Taking these two effects together, there would be an increase in equilibrium quantity and there would be an indeterminate effect on equilibrium price

3. carrying value = $466,726.94

Explanation:

face value = $450,000

maturity = 2 years x 4 = 8 periods

coupon rate = 16% / 4 = 4%

coupon = $18,000

YTM = 12% / 4 = 3%

using a financial calculator, the PV of the bonds = $481,588.61

amortization first coupon = ($481,588.61 x 3%) - $18,000 = $3,552.34

Dr Interest expense 14,447.66

Dr Premium on bonds payable 3,552.34

    Cr Cash 18,000

   

amortization second coupon = ($478,036.27 x 3%) - $18,000 = $3,658.91

Dr Interest expense 14,341.09

Dr Premium on bonds payable 3,658.91

    Cr Cash 18,000

amortization third coupon = ($474,377.36 x 3%) - $18,000 = $3,768.68

The price elasticity of demand for a good is likely to be less elastic​ __________.
mariarad [96]

Answer:

if a change in the price of the good brings about a much smaller change in the quantity demanded for the good.

Explanation:

<em>The price elasticity of demand is a measure of the change in the demand for a good in relation to a change in the price of the same good. </em>Mathematically, the price elasticity of demand for a product is represented as:

Price elasticity = change in the quantity demanded/change in price

The value of price elasticity of demand ranges from 0 to infinity. The price elasticity of demand is

  • relatively inelastic when the value is less than 1,
  • unitary elastic when it is equal to 1,
  • relatively elastic when it is greater than 1,
  • perfectly inelastic when it is equal to 0, and
  • perfectly elastic when the value is infinity.

<u>Less elastic price elasticity of demand is equivalent to relatively inelastic price elasticity. This thus means that the price elasticity of demand is less than 1; a percentage change in the price of the good brings about a disproportionately smaller percentage change in the quantity demanded for the good.</u>

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

Total overhead cost variance                                      $

Standard fixed overhead cost ($9 x 45,100 hrs)    405,900

Less: Actual fixed overhead cost                             <u>411,000 </u>

Total overhead cost variance                                   <u> 5,100 (A)</u>

Explanation:

Total overhead variance is the difference between standard fixed overhead cost and actual fixed overhead cost. Standard fixed overhead cost is overhead rate multiplied by actual direct labour hours. Overhead rate is the total of variable overhead and fixed overhead rate ($8 + $1 = $9).

Last year's asset turnover ratio was 2.0. Sales have increased by 25% and total assets have increased by 10% since that time. Wh
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer: d. 2.27

Explanation:

Asset Turnover = Total sales / Average Assets

Last years turnover ratio was 2.0 so assume Sales were $20 and Assets were $10 which would give the turnover of 2.0

The new turnover would be;

= (20 * 1.25)/(10 * 1.1)

= 25/11

= 2.27
