Answer:

(a) The market equilibrium rent is $1,400 and the equilibrium quantity is 15 thousand apartments.

(b) With the price ceiling, the rent is $1,000 per apartment and the quantity rented is 10 thousand apartments.

Explanation:

(a) At equilibrium, demand function equals supply function

1700 - 20Q = 80Q + 200

1700 - 200 = 80Q + 20Q

100Q = 1500

Q = 1500/100 = 15

Substitute the value of Q in the demand function

P = 1700 - 20Q = 1700 - 20(15) = 1700 - 300 = 1400

Equilibrium rent = $1,400

Equilibrium quantity is 15 thousand apartments

(b) Rent with price ceiling is $1,000 per apartment

Substitute the value of P in the supply function

P = 80Q + 200

1000 = 80Q + 200

1000 - 200 = 80Q

80Q = 800

Q = 800/80 = 10

Quantity rented is 10 thousand apartments

P = 1000

Q = (1700 - 1000)/20 = 700/20 = 35

Excess demand = 35 - 15 = 20

salantis [7]

Answer:

Gross Profit ⇒ $296,500

Operating expenses ⇒ $153,500

Explanation:

Gross Profit;

= Net sales - Cost of Goods sold

Net sales = Sales revenue - sales discounts - sales returns and allowances

= 807,000 - 6,000 - 10,900

= $790,100

Cost of Goods sold

= Opening balance + Purchases + Freight-in - Purchase discounts - Purchase returns and allowances -closing balance

= 56,500 + 509,500 + 4,800 - 8,000 - 2,700 - 66,500

= $493,600

Gross Profit = 790,100 - 493,600

= $296,500

Operating Expense

Net Income = Gross profit - operating expenses

143,000 = 296,500 - operating expenses

Operating expenses = 296,500 - 143,000

= $153,500

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": The convenience yield is always positive or zero.

Explanation:

The convenience yield reflects the premium of possessing an asset instead of one of its derivates or contracts. This situation arises in front of inverted markets, where holding the asset itself may bring more profits than purchasing a derivate of the same asset.

<em>The convenience yield tends to be positive or zero because the prices of assets cannot fall below zero. In other words, they are not negative.</em>
