Answer:

-4 units

Explanation:

Using the midpoint method, Blake's income elasticity of demand for generic potato chips is given by the change in demand (D) multiplied by his average income (I), divided by the change in income multiplied by the average demand:

E=\frac{\Delta D}{\Delta I}*\frac{I_{avg}}{D_avg}\\E=\frac{0-2}{15-9}*\frac{\frac{9+15}{2}}{\frac{2+0}{2} }\\E=-4\ units

Blake's income elasticity of demand is -4 units.

John Jones owns and manages a café in Collegetown whose annual revenue is $5,000. Annual expenses are as follows:
OleMash [197]

Answer:

a.) $750

b.) Yes, the café is making an economic profit of $25 per year.

Yes, he should stay in the café business.

c.) No, the café is making an economic loss of $75 per year

No, he should not stay in the café business.

d.)$3,250

e.) $250

Explanation:

a) John's accounting profit is his revenue minus his explicit costs:$5,000 - $4,250 = $750

b) In this case, John's opportunity cost of running the café is $725 per year ($1,000 − $275 = $725). Thus, the café is making an economic profit of $25 per year ($5,000 − $4,250 − $725 = $25). Since the café is earning an economic profit, John should stay in the café business.

c) In this case, John's opportunity cost of running the cafe is $825 per year ($1,100 − $275 = $825). Thus, the cafe is earning an economic loss of $75 per year ($5,000 − $4,250 − $825 = −$75). Since the café is earning an economic loss, John should not stay in the café business.

d) John's accounting profit equals his revenue minus his explicit costs. If he doesn't need a loan, then his explicit costs equal $3,250. So, his accounting profit equals $1,750 (= $5,000 − $3,250).

e) To earn a normal profit, the café would have to cover all its implicit and explicit costs. The opportunity cost of John's time is $1,000 per year while the café's accounting profit is only $750 per year. Thus, the café would have to earn additional revenues of $250 per year in order for John to make a normal profit.

Anna [14]

Answer:

$2.25

Explanation:

sale volume of company = 30,000 unit

total fixed cost are = $30,000

total variable cost $45,000 for 30,000 unit

for the sale of 40,000 unit

the  total expected cost

    = Fixed cost + Variable cost

      = $30,000+$60,000

     = $90,000

Cost per unit:

 = $90,000/40,000

=  $2.25
