Answer:
a-1. Elasticity of supply between W and X is elastic.
a-1. elasticity of supply between Y and Z is inelastic.
b. The statement is true.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question. See the attached pdf file for the complete question.
The explanation of the answers is now provided as follows:
a. For each of the regions, use the midpoint method to identify whether the supply of this good is elastic or inelastic.
The midpoint formula is as follows:
Elasticity of supply = ((Q2 - Q1)/ (Q2 + Q1) /2) / ((P2 - P1) / (P1 + P2) /2) ……… (1)
Using equation (1), we have:
a-1. Between W and X
Q2 = 25
Q1 = 10
P2 = 20
P1 = 15
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Elasticity of supply between W and X = ((25 - 10)/ (25 + 10) /2) / ((20 - 15) / (15 + 20) /2) = 3
Since 3 which is the calculated elasticity of supply between W and X is greater than 1, this implies that elasticity of supply between W and X is elastic.
a-2. Between Y and Z
Q2 = 90
Q1 = 80
P2 = 180
P1 = 90
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Elasticity of supply between Y and Z = ((90 - 80)/ (90 + 80) /2) / ((180 - 90) / (180 + 90) /2) = 0.18
Since 0.18 which is the calculated elasticity of supply between Y and Z is less than 1, this implies that elasticity of supply between Y and Z is inelastic.
b. True or False: For high levels of quantity supplied where firms have reached near maximum capacity, supply becomes less elastic because firms may need to invest in additional capital in order to increase production further.
This statement is true.
This is because, from part a above, it can be observed that elasticity of supply between W and X when quantity is low is elastic but the elasticity of supply between Y and Z when the quantity is high is inelastic. Therefore, it is true that for high levels of quantity supplied where firms have reached near maximum capacity, supply becomes less elastic because firms may need to invest in additional capital in order to increase production further.

d. debit Retained Earnings, $3,000; credit Dividends, $3,000.
Answer:
d. debit Retained Earnings, $3,000; credit Dividends, $3,000.
Explanation:
The journal entry to close the dividend account should be
Retained earnings Dr $3,000
To Dividend $3,000
(being the closing of the dividend account is recorded)
here the retained earning is debited as it decreased the stockholder equity and dividend is credited as it is closed
The price elasticity of demand for a good is likely to be elastic __________.
A. the budget share spent on the good.
B. the number of close substitutes for the good.
C. the available time during which consumers can adjust.
D. all of the above.
Answer:
The price elasticity of demand for a good is likely to be elastic :
A. the greater the proportion of budget share spent on the good.
B. the greater the number of close substitutes for the good.
C. the longer the available time during which consumers can adjust.
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.
Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one
Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.
Infinitely elastic demand is perfectly elastic demand. Demand falls to zero when price increases
Perfectly inelastic demand is demand where there is no change in the quantity demanded regardless of changes in price.
Price is more elastic in the long run than in the short run because consumers have more time to search for suitable alternatives
The more close substitutes a good has, the more elastic its demand. This is because if price is increased, consumers can easily shift to the consumption of an alternative product
the greater the proportion of budget share spent on the good, the more elastic the demand for the good
What IHRM activities would be pertinent to the sending, by Médecins Sans Frontieres, of a medical team into a country such as Bangladesh?
Answer:
It is the responsibility of the HR department to enable employees to perform a job with skill, safety and ideal conditions.
Therefore, in a Médecins Sans Frontières program with the sending of a medical team to a country like Bangladesh, it would be the competence of the responsible company's HR, to prepare its team to be received in the place with good housing, food and security conditions. Enabling and training the medical team to deal with the work and demands of a country like Bangladesh, which, being a country with a lot of social inequality and conditions of poverty, has particular challenges in relation to health, which the doctors sent should be well prepared to take on that job and the risks involved.
Justin builds fences for a living. Justin's out-of-pocket expenses (for wood, paint, etc.) plus the value that he places on his own time amount to his a. profit. b. producer surplus. c. cost of building fences.
Answer:
c. Cost of building fences.
Explanation:
The cost of production encompasses the money spend as well as the time to produce a commodity. For example, if a person spends $15 to make a juice cup and invest 1 hour to make so the total cost of production is $15 and the time invested by the producer. Thus, option "c" is correct.
Outsourcing of jobs from large corporations to domestic subcontractors has been one reason job have been become more insecure in the U.S. recently.
a. true
b. false
Answer:
a. true
Explanation:
In Business management, outsourcing can be defined as a process which involves an agreement between two companies that allows for the provision of services or job functions by another.
When a company is outsourced, it engages the service of another company (third-party) to perform some of its duties rather than the use of an in-house department or employees to handle them. The outsourcing firm is saddled with the responsibility of physically distributing the goods or services of the outsourced company.
Hence, outsourcing simply means the use of supply chain partners of a large corporation to provide products or services for the end users or consumers.
In the United States of America, outsourcing of jobs and services from large corporations to domestic subcontractors (outsourcing companies) is one of the main reason job have become more insecure recently.

A natural monopoly arises whenA. a single firm aggressively forces other competitors to exit and industry.B. a single firm has a monopoly over natural resources.C. two firms merge into a single firm in order to capture more of the market.D. a single firm can produce more cheaply than multiple firms due to a downward-sloping average total cost curve.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
A monopoly is when there is only one firm operating in an industry. there are usually high barriers to entry of firms. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.
An example of a monopoly is a utility company
A natural monopoly occurs due to the high start-up costs or a large economies of scale.
Natural monopolies are usually the only company providing a service in a particular region
Characteristics of natural monopolies
they have a large fixed cost The firms have a low marginal costThey occur naturally through the free market. It does not occur by government regulation or any other forceDragon Sports Inc. manufactures and sells two products, baseball bats and baseball gloves. The fixed costs are $57,000, and the sales mix is 70% bats and 30% gloves. The unit selling price and the unit variable cost for each product are as follows:
Products Unit Selling Price Unit Variable Cost
Bats $50 $50
Gloves 100 80
a. Compute the break-even sales (units) for both products combined.
b. How many units of each product, baseball bats and baseball gloves, would be sold at break even point?
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Contribution Margin for Bat
= $50 - $50
= $0
Contribution Margin for Gloves = $100 - $80
= $20
Now
Overall Contribution Margin = (0 ×70%) + ($20 × 30%)
= $0 + $6
= $6
Now
A. Break even sales = Fixed cost ÷ contribution margin
= $57,000 ÷ $6
= 9,500
B.Baseball bats = 9,500 × 70% =6,650
Baseball Gloves = 9,500 × 30% = 2,850
Suppose that Michelle buys a cappuccino from Paul's Cafe and Bakery for $4.75. Michelle was willing to pay up to $6.75 for the cappuccino and Paul's Cafe and Bakery was willing to accept S1.25 for the cappuccino. Based on this information, answer the questions below.
Michelle's consumer surplus is equal to: _______
Paul's Bakery's producer surplus is equal to:__________
Answer:
$2
$3.50
Explanation:
Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the good.
Consumer surplus = willingness to pay – price of the good
$6.75 - $4.75 = $2
Producer surplus is the difference between the price of a good and the least price the seller is willing to sell the product
Producer surplus = price – least price the seller is willing to accept
$4.75 - $1.25 = $3.5
Two alternate plans are available for increasing the capacity of existing water transmission lines between an unlimited source and a reservoir. The unlimited source is at a higher elevation then the reservoir. Plan A calls for the construction of a parallel pipeline and flow by gravity. Plan B specifies construction of a booster pumping station. Estimated cost for the two plans are as follows: Hint: Use Present Worth- (do not guess show all your work) i=10%
Plan A : Cost $700,000, Life 40 Years, Annual Operation and Repair $1,000/Year
Plan B: Cost $200,000, Life 40 Years Structure and 20 years equipment, Equipment replacement at the end of 20 years $75,000, Annual Operation and Repairs 52,000/year
a. Plan A $709,779.00
b. Plan A $740,000
c. Plan B $710,165.50
d. Plan B $326,000
Answer:
plan a
Explanation:
present worth of plan A= 700000+1000(p/a,10%,40)
= 700000+1000*9.779
= 700000+9779
= 709779 dollars
present worth of plan b = 200000+75000(p/f,10%,20)+52000/year(p/a,10%,40)
= 200000+75000*0.1486+52000*9.779
= 719653 dollars.
we compare the pw of both a and b, from the solutions above, the present worth of plan a is smaller than that of plan b, so the best option is plan a, $709,779.00
a. By how much would government spending have to rise to shift the aggregate demand curve rightward by $25 billion
Answer: $2.5 billion
Explanation:
You need to first calculate the multiplier.
The multiplier is the amount that shows the effect of an increase in government spending on the aggregate demand of a country.
It is calculated as:
= 1 / ( 1 - MPC)
= 1 / ( 1 - 0.9)
= 10
Increase in aggregate demand = Government spending * multiplier
25 billion = G * 10
G = 25 billion / 10
= $2.5 billion
A government bond issued in France has a coupon rate of 5% (paid annually) and a face value of 100 euros, and it matures in 5 years. Calculate the price of the bond (in euros) if the yield to maturity is 3.5%.
Answer:
Bond Price= 106.77
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Face value= 100
Coupon= 100*0.05= 5
Yield To Maturity= 0.035
Years to maturity= 5 years
To calculate the price of the bond, we need to use the following formula:
Bond Price= cupon*{[1 - (1+i)^-n] / i} + [face value/(1+i)^n]
Bond Price= 5*{[1 - (1.035^-5)] / 0.035} + [100/(1.035^5)]
Bond Price= 22.57 + 84.2
Bond Price= 106.77

McoLawn Ltd manufactures a single product, an ecologically designed electronic lawn-mower, which they sell for £40. The variable costs of the lawn-mower are as follows: Fixed costs are £140,000. McoLawn Ltd. have budgeted profits for the coming year at £120,000. How many lawn-mowers must McoLawn Ltd. sell in order to reach budgeted profit levels? Group of answer choices
Answer: 20,000 lawn mowers
Explanation:
The formula for calculating the number of lawn mowers needed to reached the budgeted profit levels is:
= (Fixed costs + Budgeted profit) / Contribution margin
Contribution margin = Selling price - Variable cost
= 40 - (14 + 8 + 5)
= 40 - 27
= $13
Number of lawn-mowers required:
= (140,000 + 120,000) / 13
= 20,000 lawn mowers
For each of the following characteristics, indicate whether it describes a perfectly competitive firm, a monopolistically competitive firm, both, or neither. (Note: If the characteristic describes neither, leave the entire row unchecked.)
Characteristic Perfectly Competitive Monopolistically Competitive
Sells a product differentiated from those of its competitors
Has marginal revenue less than price
Earns economic profit in the long run
Produces at the minimum average total cost in the long run
Equates marginal revenue and marginal cost
Charges a price above marginal cost
Answer:
Monopolistically Competitive
Monopolistically Competitive
Neither
Perfectly Competitive
both
Monopolistically Competitive
Explanation:
A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.
In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.
Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.
A monopolistic competition is when there are many firms selling differentiated products in an industry. A monopolistic competition has characteristics of both a monopoly and a perfect competition. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.
An example of monopolistic competition are restaurants
When firms are earning positive economic profit, in the long run, firms enter into the industry. This drives economic profit to zero
If firms are earning negative economic profit, in the long run, firms leave the industry. This drives economic profit to zero
in the long run, only normal profit is earned
In a monopolistic competitive market, firms always set the price higher than their marginal costs. As a result, the market cannot be productively efficient.

Last year, a Walmart store in Nebraska had annual sales of $11,390,000, with an average dollar stock amount for the year of $2,149,000. What was the stock turnover for the year at the store in Nebraska? How would the store manager determine if this was a "good" rate of turnover?
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
1. With regards to the information above, stock turnover is computed as cost of goods sold divided by average stock.
Stock turnover = Cost of goods sold / Average stock
Cost of goods sold/Cost of sales = $11,390,000
Average stock = $2,149,000
Then,
Stock turnover = $11,390,000 / $2,149,000
Stock turnover = 5.30 times
Therefore, the stock turnover for the year at the store in Nebraska is 5.30 times
2. The store manager would determine if it was a good rate of turnover if it increases compare to previous stock turnover. Rate of turnover shows the rate or number of times at which a company can sell and replace its stock of goods within a year.

= 9.35%
Sales,
= 320000000
Float reduction,
= 3
Now,
Saving in interest will be:
= [tex]Sales\times Interest\times \frac{Float \ reduction}{365}[/tex]
By substituting the values, we get
= [tex]320000000\times 9.35 \ percent\times \frac{3}{365}[/tex]
= [tex]245,917.81[/tex] ($)
Derek decides to buy a new car. The dealership offers him a choice of paying $600.00 per month for 5 years (with the first payment due next month) or paying some amount today. He can borrow money from his bank to buy the car. The bank requires a 5.00% interest rate. What is the most that he would be willing to pay today rather than making the payments
Answer:
PV= $31,794.12
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Monthly payment= $600
Number of months= 5*12= 60 months
Interest rate= 0.05/12= 0.004167
To calculate the present value of the monthly payments, we need to use the following formula:
PV= A*{(1/i) - 1/[i*(1 + i)^n]}
A= monthly payments
PV= 600*{(1/0.004167) - 1/ [0.004167*(1.004167^60)]}
PV= $31,794.12
