Answer:
- <u><em>c. The price of cheese increases</em></u>
Explanation:
Since the resources (money) are limited, the students have to choose among the three options they like to eat from the <em>food establishments on campus.</em>
- <em>pepperoni pizza,</em>
- <em>bean and rice burritos, and</em>
- <em>hamburgers (made from beef) </em>
<em />
Reasonably, they will choose to eat the food that optimizes the use of their money, i.e. they search to optimize the utility they receive.
Since cheese is a fundamental ingredient of pizza, <em>if the price of cheese increases</em>, the price of pepperoni pizza shall increase.
Thus, students will swift from eating pepperoni pizza to eating more food from the other establishments on campus, including hamburguers (made from beef).
Therefore, <em>if the price of cheese increases, most likely the quantity of hamburgers sold will increase.</em>
Answer:
Explanation:
Multiple Choices aren't given, so I will just solve this.
Josiah had "d" dimes and "n" nickels.
There are a total of 35 coins, nickels and dimes.
The value of "d" dimes and "n" nickels is $3.30
Note: Value of nickels is 0.05 and dimes is 0.10 (in dollars)
The system of equations (2) we can use to solve this will be:
1) an equation involving total number of coins
2) an equation stating the value of each coin and total value
Equation 1:
Equation 2:
These are the 2 equations that can be solved simulataneously to find the number of nickels and dimes.
Answer:
decreased by 20%
Explanation:
Supposed we have input price of $30,000 and it produced an output of 300 units on the first year of operation. The cost per unit on the first year is $100 each ($30,000/300).
On the second year we still have the same input expense of $30,000 but the productivity output increased by 25%. So we have 375 units produced on the second year’s operation. The new cost per unit would be $30,000/375=$80 per unit.
Therefore we conclude that based on the example given, the new unit cost per product decreases by 20%.
$100-80 = $20
$20/$100 = 20%
Answer:
Direct material price variance= $12,500 unfavorable
Explanation:
Giving the following formula:
The standard price per pound is $2.00.
The actual quantity of materials purchased and used in production is 50,000 pounds.
The actual purchase price per pound of materials was $2.25.
<u>To calculate the direct material price (spending) variance, we need to use the following formula:</u>
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Direct material price variance= (2 - 2.25)*50,000
Direct material price variance= $12,500 unfavorable
