This is false because consumer surplus declines because of the increase in price and reduction in quantity.
Answer: D. Restrictions on travel into and out of affected areas.
Explanation:
Restrictions on travel in and out of affected areas can lead to Scarcity in a Pandemic because there is no free movement of labour and capital.
With borders shut down, goods that were normally imported will suddenly become very hard to acquire because getting them through travel bans is very hard and in most cases, impossible.
Also affected are services as, for instance, the people who provided such services might live in or come from the place they provide said service to. Getting into those areas might prove too cumbersome a task thereby limiting Service provision.
Looking at the current Corona Virus Pandemic that has seen the most extensive Travel Restrictions by Countries in recent times and looking at the Scarcity being suffered by those same countries, drawing the conclusion that the Scarcity is as a result of an impediment to free movement of Goods and Services is most logical.
Answer: The price elasticity of demand for good A is 0.67, and an increase in price will result in a increase in total revenue for good A
Explanation:
The following can be deduced form the question:
P1 = $50
P2 = $70
Q1 = 500 units
Q2 = 400 units
Percentage change in quantity = [Q2 - Q1 / (Q2 + Q1) ÷ 2 ] × 100
Percentage change in price = [P2 - P1 / (P2 + P1) ÷ 2 ] × 100
% change in quantity = (400 - 500)/(400 + 500)/2 × 100
= -100/450 × 100
= -22.22%
% change on price = (70 - 50)/(70 + 50)/2 × 100
= 20/60 × 100
= 33
Price elasticity of demand = % change in quantity / % change on price
= -22.22 / 33
= -0.67
This means that a 1% change in price will lead to a 0.67% change in quantity demanded. As there was a price change, there'll be a little change in quantity demanded because demand is inelastic. Thereby, he increase in price will lead to an increase in the total revenue.
Therefore, the price elasticity of demand for good A is 0.67, and an increase in price will result in an increase in total revenue for good A
Answer:
2,845 units
Explanation:
To find the answer you need to consider that the profit is equal to the sales minus the costs.
Let's consider that x is the number of units sold
Sales= Price per unit*number of units sold
Sales= 37x
Variable cost= Cost per unit*number of units sold
Variable cost= 11x
Fixed cost= 18,470
55,498=37x-11x-18,470
55,498+18,470=26x
73,968=26x
x=73,968/26= 2,845
According to this, the answer is that they need to sell 2,845 units to make the desired profit.
Answer:Inventory on hand Balance at the end = $4620
Explanation:
The question is unclear with regards to the requirements. however having dealt with questions of this nature in the past, I will assume the question requires us to calculate the cost of inventory on hand.
Opening Inventory balance = 180 x $28 =$5040
Purchased inventory = 290 x $30 = $8700
Cash sale (330 x $44) = $14520
Purchase inventory (230 x 34 ) = $7820
Cash sale (55 x $44) = $2420
Inventory on hand Balance = 5040+ 8700 - 14520 + 7820 - 2420
Inventory on hand Balance at the end = 4620 = $4620
