Answer: a) increase in the demand for Kindles.
Explanation: the substitution effect for substitute goods gives that, if the price of good A rises, the demand for good B rises. Since a substitute good is a good that can be used in place of another, they are goods that a consumer perceives as similar or are comparable, in such a way that having more of one good causes the consumer to desire less of the other good. From the viewpoint of price, and given that consumers always prefer to spend less in instances where two goods are substitutes, it then means that Kindle can be used and preferred in place of Nooks given that the price of Nooks had gone up. Therefore, increasing the price of Nooks causes a corresponding increase in the demand for Kindles.
Answer:
- 5,000 watches : $150,000 loss
- 20,000 watches: $60,000 (Loss)
- Break-even point = 30,000 units
- if the selling price rises to 32 = break even points descends to 10,588 units
- If the selling price rises to $32 but variable costs rises to $26 , the break even point goes back to 30,000units.
Explanation:
Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the next formula:
Profit = Revenue -cost
Where the revenue is equal to the units sold (x) multiplied by the selling price,
R = 21 x
And cost is equal to the sum of the fixed and variable costs.
C = 15x + 1800
So:
P = 21x-(15x +180,000)
P = x ( 21-15)- 180,000
P = 5000(21-15)-180,000
P = 5000(6) -180,000
P= 30,000-180,000
P=-$150,000 (loss , since is negative )
P = 20,000(6) -180,000
P = 120,000-180,000
P=-$60,000 (Loss)
- To find the break even point:
R = C
21x = 15x + 180,000
21x-15x =180,000
6 x = 180,000
x = 180,000/6
x =30,000 units
- if the selling price rises to 32
32x = 15x + 180,000
32x-15x = 180,000
17x =180,000
x = 180,000/17
x = 10,588 units
It descends,
- If the selling price rises to $32 but variable costs rises to $26
32x = 26x+180,000
32x-26x = 180,000
6x = 180,000
x = 180,000/6
x =30,000
The break-even point comes back to 30,000 units.
Answer:
Dr supplies expense $4,100
Cr supplies $4,100
Explanation:
Supplies used in the year needs to be ascertained before any adjusting entry can be posted.
Supplies used=beginning supplies+purchases-ending supplies
beginning supplies is $3,690
purchases of supplies was $1,700
ending balance of supplies was $1,290
supplies used=$3,690+$1,700-$1,290=$ 4,100.00
The used portion of supplies would be debited to supplies expense while supplies inventory is credited with the same amount.
