Answer:

Suppose that the number of students with an allergy to pencil erasers increases, causing more students to switch from pencils to pens in school.

  • This will shift the demand curve to the right, increasing the total demand at all price levels.

Moreover, the price of ink, an important input in pen production, has increased considerably.

  • This will shift the supply curve to the left, increasing the price of pens at every demand level.

What is sure is that the price of pens will increase. It is likely that the quantity demanded increases, but the extent by which the quantity demanded will increase is unknown.

Recording of purchase of supplies for future use on credit

The preliminary net income for February is $ 1,100

The net profit margin is  42.3 %

Explanation:

Computation of net income and net profit margin

Revenues   ( $   900 + $ 1,700 )                                                     $ 2,600    

Expenses ($ 200 + $ 1,200 + $ 100 )                                             <u>$ 1,500</u>

Net Income                                                                                      $ 1,100    

Net profit margin = Net income / Revenues

Net Profit margin   = $ 1,100/ $ 2,600 =                                          42.3 %  

The other entries for collections made on Feb 04 for services to be performed next month and the purchase of supplies to be used in the future are not to be considered in revenues and expenses as they do not pertain to the current month

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

The answer is b) people who have a more inelastic demand for amusement parks.

Explanation:

For this price discrimination strategy, amusement parks are aiming at people who are more willing to come to the amusement park to spend more hours at the park and does not care about entry price as much as other people who are not normally willing to visit the park; instead, may be take a try for one or two hours at the end of the day at deep discounted price.

So, high price will be charged to people less care about entry price, in other works their demand for the amusement parks is relatively more inelastic to other people.

Thus, b is the right choice.

poizon [28]

Answer:

85 less rooms this year than last

Explanation:

The number of rooms (n) occupied for this month last year is given by the Room Revenue ($231,470) divided by the daily rate ($76.72):

n=\frac{\$231,470}{\$76.72}\\n=3,017\\

The number of rooms occupied last year is larger than the number of rooms occupied this year by:

\Delta n = 3,017-2,932\\\Delta n = 85\ rooms

The hotel occupied 85 less rooms this year than last.
