When XYZ firm entered the market for good A two years​ back, it kept the price of its product low to attract customers away from

its leading competitor. The firm has now established itself and has a market share of 20 percent. The management of XYZ is planning to increase price of A from the current​ $6 per unit to​ $7 per unit. Timothy​ Walters, the marketing​ head, however, feels this is not a good idea because it will reduce quantity demanded drastically from the current​ 1,200 units to 900 units. His colleague and the head of the sales​ department, Jake​ Mayers, feels that the quantity demanded would only decline by 250 units. According to​ Jake, the firm can afford to increase the price because even after the price increase they would still have significant market share

Answer:

B) The demand for good A is elastic.

Explanation:

Both Timothy and Jake believe that the demand is elastic, Timothy believes the PED = 1.75, while Jake believes the PED = 1.46. The difference is that Timothy believes the demand is more elastic.

Option A is not correct because Timothy believes total revenue will fall while Jake believes it will increase.

Option C is not correct because both believe that their market share will decrease.  

Option D is not correct because both Timothy and Jake are arguing about higher prices, not lower prices.

Option E is not correct because an increase inn the price of a good does not shift the demand curve, it moves the equilibrium point within the given demand and supply curves.

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

a

The cash receipts in October are as follows:

Cash Sales:

85% of $157,000

= 0.85 * $157,000

= $133,450

Payments on September credit sales:

$181,500 * 28% * (80 - 75)%

= $181,500 *0.28 * 15%

= $181,500 * 0.28 * 0.15

= $7,623

Payments on October credit sales** 16,485

$157,000 * 70% * (85 - 70)%

$157,000 * 0.7 * 15%

= $157,000 * 0.7 * 0.15

= $16,485

Total cash expected = $133,450 + $7,623 + $16,485 = $157,558

b.

Payments for food purchases is as follows:

September

($130,000 × 0.75) = $97,500

October

($116,000 × 0.25) = 29,000

Total cash needed for June = $97,500 + $29,000 = $126,500

c.

Beginning balance $2,147

Cash receipts $157,558

Cash available $159,705

The following items will be subtracted:

Food purchases $126,500

Workers’ wages in September $730 ---- 10% of $7,300

Workers’ wages re: October $6,570 --- 90% of $7,300

Utilities $5,590

Insurance $1,200

Rent $4,100

Total disbursements $150,690

A company offered employees a defined-benefit retirement plan, in which retirees received benefits calculated on the basis of th
kozerog [31]

Answer: C. The employees will receive a share of profits as part of the company's ESOP.

Explanation:

The retirees can still get a portion of profits if they are part of an Employee Stock Ownership Plan.

ESOP is a pretty standard thing these days with companies where they reward their employees with shares in the company.

Seeing as the company is making too little to be able to keep paying Retirement benefits, the retirees being owners of Stock can still partake in the earnings that the company makes when they distribute dividends.
