The correct statement is   "Hockey sticks had their prices reduced by $0. 41 more than baseball bats."

Mark down refers to a reduction in price of an item or good. The reduction is generally done as a percentage of price of the item. The purpose behind mark down is to increase sales volume.

<h3>Calculation of reduction in price:</h3>

Given:

Markdown in price of baseball bats is 42%

Cost of baseball bats after markdown is $21.46

Markdown in price of hockey sticks is 29%

Cost of hockey sticks after markdown is $39.05

For calculating the amount of markdown, we need to find the original cost of baseball bats and hockey sticks.

Calculation of cost of baseball bats before markdown:

\begin{aligned} \rm Cost \:before\:markdown &= \dfrac{\rm Cost \:after \:Markdown}{100- \rm Markdown\%} \\&#10;\\&#10;&=\dfrac{21.46}{100-42\%}\\&#10;\\&#10;&=\dfrac{21.46}{58\%}\\&#10;\\&#10;&=\$37\end

Hence the markdown in price of baseball bats is \$37-\$21.46=\$15.54

Similarly, for hockey sticks:

\begin{aligned} \rm Cost \:before\:markdown &= \dfrac{\rm Cost \:after \:Markdown}{100- \rm Markdown\%} \\\\&=\dfrac{39.05}{100-29\%}\\\\&=\dfrac{39.05}{71\%}\\\\&=\$55\end

Markdown in the cost of hockey sticks is \$55-\$39.05=\$15.95.

Difference in markdown is:

\$15.95-\$15.54=\$0.41

Therefore it can be concluded that markdown in cost of hockey sticks is more as compared to baseball bats by $0.41

Hence the correct statement is "Hockey sticks had their prices reduced by $0. 41 more than baseball bats."

Suppose that, in a competitive market without government regulations the equilibrium price of gasoline is $3.00 per gallon.
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

price floor , binding

price ceiling binding

price floor , non binding

Explanation:

A price floor is when the government or an agency of the government sets the minimum price of a product. A price floor is binding if it is set above equilibrium price.

Price ceiling is when the government or an agency of the government sets the maximum price for a product. It is binding when it is set below equilibrium price

Because firms are unable to hire workers due to the minimum wage laws., it means it is binding price floor

Equilibrium price is $3 and the maximum price is $2.70 . Thus, it is a binding price ceiling

Equilibrium price is $3 and the minimum price is $2.70 . Thus, it is a binding floor

In Poland's free-market, Felix Siemienas is making a fortune in cold cuts. Prices are much higher than formerly. Siemienas says,
rjkz [21]

The correct answer would be, The Law of Demand.

Prices are much higher than formerly. Siemienas says, 'Yes my prices are high, if nobody buys, i bring my prices down. This is the market rule'. This rule best describes The Law of Demand.

Explanation:

In the field of economics, there are two basic concepts of Demand and Supply.

According to The Law of Demand, When the price of the good or service increases, the demand for that product or service decreases, and if price of the good or service decreases, the demand for that product or service increases, keeping all other factors constant.

So this is what Siemienas says that if the demand for his product will decrease, he will decrease the price of the product in order to maintain the sales of his company.

Confectioners, a chain of candy stores, purchases its candy in bulk from its suppliers. For a recent shipment, the company paid
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

$0.215

Explanation:

The computation of the cost per item in Group 1 is shown below:-

Candy amount paid = $3,100

Item received = 7,100

For Group 1

Sale value = Group 1 units × Selling price

= 2,110 × $0.15

= $316.5

For Group 2

Sale value = Group 2 units × Selling price

= 4,720 × $0.35

= $1,652

For Group 3

Sale value = Group 3 units × Selling price

= 270 × $0.71

= $191.7

= Total sale value = $316.5 + $1,652 + $191.7

= $2,160.2

So, Sale percentage for Group 1 = $316.5 ÷ $2,160.2

= 14.65%

Now, the proportion of cost for Group 1

= $3,100 × 14.65%

= 454.15

Cost per unit = Proportion cost ÷ Group 1 units

= $454.15 ÷ 2,110

= $0.215
