How does the mortality pattern and age distribution affect the growth rate?

1 answer:

5 0

Mortality pattern affects population growth rates because a high mortality rate will offset the population-growth effects of a high birthrate. It is important to remember that mortality patterns often disproportionately affect different groups. If the mortality rate were atypically high among fertile-age women, this would have an even more powerful impact on population growth.

Age distribution is also important to growth rate because it describes what percentage of the population is at a child producing age. An age distribution that is weighed toward elder people can expect a lower future growth rate than a young-slanted age distribution, since a larger portion of the young population will likely have babies in the future.

In a long-run equilibrium,

Serga [27]

Answer: Option (d) is correct.

Explanation:

Correct option: Only a perfectly competitive firm operates at its efficient scale.

In the perfectly competitive market and in the long run, the firms who are making losses will exit the market and those firms who are able produce at a point where price is equal to the average total cost will exist in the market.

However, monopolistic firms operates at a below efficient level of production and with an excess capacity.

Competitive firms are generally enjoys the productive efficiency in the long run because these firms have the capability to produce at a lower average total cost.

Fruit Trees records a profit of $92,325

The company therefore records an overall $25,800 loss

NB: See the workings below see the assumption mad to allocate common expenses since none is given in the question.

The segmented income statement for Gorman Nurseries for the coming year can therefore be presented as follows:

Gorman Nurseries Inc.

Segmented Income Statement

For the coming year

Particulars Poinsettias ($) Fruit Trees ($) Total ($)

Sales 970,000 3,100,000 4,070,000

Variable COGS (460,000) (1,630,000) (2,090,000)

Variable selling exp. (w1.) (38,800) (124,000) (162,800)

Contribution margin 471,200 1,346,000 1,817,200

Direct fixed overhead (160,000) (200,000) (360,000)

Direct fixed S $ Admn exp. (146,000) (87,000) (233,000)

Segment margin 165,200 1,059,000 1,224,200

Common fixed overh. (w2a) (176,077) (623,923) (800,000)

Common S $ Admn ex (w2b) (107,248) (342,752) (450,000)

Segment Net Income (loss)  (118,125)   92,325   (25,800) 

Workings:

w1. Variable selling expenses = Sales * Commission percentage

Poinsettias = $970,000 * 4% = $38,8000

Fruit Trees = $3,100,000 * 4% = $124,000

w2. Allocation of common expenses using the following assuptions:

a) Use cost of goods sold (COGS) to allocate Common fixed overhead:

Poinsettias = (460,000 / 2,090,000) * $800,000 = $176,077

Fruit Trees = (1,630,000 / 2,090,000) * $800,000 = $623,923

b) Use common selling and administrative expense using Sales:

Poinsettias = (970,000 / 4,070,000) * $450,000 = $176,077

Fruit Trees = (3,100,000 / 4,070,000) * $450,000 = $623,923
