Answer:  To increase sale by 10%, the seller must lower the price of the good by 12.5%.

Explanation: Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to a change in the price. Since, demand and price for a normal good are negatively related to each other, price elasticity is also negative. It can be calculated using,

e_{d}=\frac{Precentage change in quantity demanded}{Percentage change in price}  -0.8=\frac{10}{Percentage change in price}  Percentage change in price = -\frac{10}{0.8}  Percentage change in price = -12.5

Therefore, to increase sale by 10%, the seller must lower the price of the good by 12.5%.

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

price variance  $(22,800.00) UNFAVORABLE

Explanation:

(standard\:cost-actual\:cost) \times actual \: quantity= DM \: price \: variance

std cost                           $6.00

actual cost                    $9.00

quantity                       7,600

difference                   $(3.00)

price variance  $(22,800.00)

We calculate the actual cost by dividing total cost by the lbs purchased:

68,400/7,600 = 9

Because the diference is negative, the variance is unfavorable.

Each pound cost more than it was planned.

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

flexibility

Explanation:

According to classical economists, the price-wage-interest rate flexibility refers to a combination of flexible factors that maintains economic stability:

  • Flexible interest rates keeps the money markets (loans) in equilibrium.
  • Flexible wages keeps the labor market in equilibrium.
  • Flexible prices keeps the goods and services markets in equilibrium.

Therefore, if spending declines, the economy will self-adjust using flexible interest rates (interest rates should lower), flexible wages (wages should lower) and flexible prices (prices should lower) until the economy rebounds.

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

$76,050

Explanation:

Given that,

cash price = $60,700

assumed accrued taxes = $5,260

attorney’s fees = $2,170

real estate broker’s commission = $3,310

clearing and grading = $4,610

Cost of the land:

= cash price + assumed accrued taxes + attorney’s fees + real estate broker’s commission + clearing and grading

= $60,700 + $5,260 + $2,170 + $3,310 + $4,610

= $76,050

Six years ago a commercial property owner paid $490,000 for her complex which included 10 acres of land valued at $100,000. Usin
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

AS land cannot be depreciated we will first subtract the value of the land from the complex so we are left with $390,000 (490,000-100,000)

In straight line method each year the asset is depreciated by the same amount so in order to find out yearly depreciation we will divide 390,000 by 40

=9750

In 6 years the complex has depreciated for $58,500

So the current value of the apartment complex would be (490,000-58500)

The current value of the apartment complex is $431500
