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

Handy Home sells windows and doors in the ratio of 8:2 (windows:doors). The selling price of each window is $106 and of each door is $256. The variable cost of a window is $65.50 and of a door is $178.00. Fixed costs are $624,000.
Required:
a. Determine the selling price per composite unit.
b. Determine the variable costs per composite unit.
c. Determine the break-even point in composite units.
d. Determine the number of units of each product that will be sold at the break-even point.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the sales proportion:
Windows= 8/10= 0.8
Doors= 2/10= 0.2
Now, the selling and unitary variable cost per composite unit:
Selling price= 106*0.8 + 256*0.2= $136
Unitary varaible price= 65.5*0.8 + 178*0.2= $88
The break-even point:
Break-even point (units)= Total fixed costs / Weighted average contribution margin
Break-even point (units)= 624,000 / (136 - 88)
Break-even point (units)= 13,000
Finally, the number of units for each product:
Windows= 13,000*0.8= 10,400
Doors= 13,000*0.2= 2,600

Sunland Clothing Store had a balance in the Accounts Receivable account of $112000 at the beginning of the year and a balance of $88000 at the end of the year. Net credit sales during the year amounted to $3650000. The average collection period of the receivables in terms of days was
Answer:
10 days
Explanation:
Day's sales in receivables = (365 days × Average receivables) / Net sales
Day's sales in receivables = (365 days × $100,000) / $3,650,000
Day's sales in receivables = 10 days
• Note
Average receivables = (Beginning receivables + Ending receivables) / 2
= ($112,000 + $88,000) / 2
= $100,000
Therefore, the average collection period of the receivables in terms of days was 10days

b. The gift received in the form of bonds will mature in 60 days. There is uncertainty in dollar rate, if dollar appreciates against yen then student will receive less yen.
c. The dollar rate is unpredictable for yen in next 60 days. If yen appreciate then dollar will depreciate against yen and therefore amount of loan repayment will increase.
The expenditure and income approaches to calculating GDP arrive at the same final number, but they calculate that number in different ways. To illustrate, consider the possible effects of the following transactions on GDP:
1. Daesun pays Awesome Foods Market $1,100 to cater his daughter's engagement party. He's attracted by Awesome Foods Market's guarantee that he'll be happy with the catering, or he'll get his money back.
2. Awesome Foods Market pays JoAnn's Catering $950 to cater the party.
3. JoAnn's Catering buys plasticware worth $200 from Kostko.
Required:
Compute contributions to GDP, using the expenditure approach.
Answer:
Only the amount spent by Manuel would be in included in the calculation of GDP
Explanation:
Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year
GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export
Net export = exports – imports
When exports exceed import there is a trade deficit and when import exceeds import, there is a trade surplus.
Consumption spending includes spending by households on goods and services. Consumption spending includes :
spending on durables - e.g. laptop
spending on nondurables - e.g. clothes, food
spending on services - e.g. payment of hospital bill
the purchase of a textbook by a student is an example of consumption spending on durable goods
Investment - It includes purchases of goods and services made by businesses in the production of goods and services
the airplane purchased by the airline would be used to provide services for airline customers. Also, the packing boxes bought by Amazon would be used in delivering goods to customers
Government spending - It includes government consumption expenditure and gross investment. The purchase of a new limousine for the president is an example of consumption expenditure
Items not included in the calculation off GDP includes:
1. services not rendered to oneself
2. Activities not reported to the government
3. illegal activities
4. sale or purchase of used products
5. sale or purchase of intermediate products

The income expenditure model predicts that if the marginal propensity to consume is 0.75 and the federal government increases spending by $100 billion, real GDP will increase by:_______
a) $100 billion.
b) $750 billion.
c) $400 billion.
d) $300 billion.
Answer:
Option c ($400 billion) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
According to the question,
Government expenditure,
G = 100

g if you deposit $2,000 into an account and it earns 6% interest, how much will you have in 11 years
Answer:
Amount earned = $3320
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Principal, P = $2,000
Interest rate, R = 6%
Time, T = 11 years
To find the simple interest;
S.I = PRT/100
S.I = (2000*6*11)/100
S.I = 20*6*11
S.I = $1320
Amount earned = Principal + S.I
Amount earned = 2000 + 1320
Amount earned = $3320

Jose and Zola want to purchase their first home. Jose makes $23.50 an hour and works 40 hours per week. Zola makes $21.50 an hour and works 40 hours of regular time and 5 hours of overtime a week. They have two car payments totaling $500 a month and one credit card with a minimum payment of $50 a month. What is their combined gross monthly income?
(HINT: Remember to assume that overtime is always time and a half unless otherwise specified!!)
Answer:
The correct answer is "$7,630".
Explanation:
Assuming there are four weeks in a month, then
Joe's income will be:
= [tex]23.50\times 40\times 4[/tex]
= [tex]3,760[/tex] ($)
Zola's income will be:
= [tex]21.50\times (40+5)\times 4[/tex]
= [tex]21.50\times 45\times 4[/tex]
= [tex]3,870[/tex] ($)
hence,
The combined gross monthly income will be:
= [tex]Jose's \ income+Zola's \ income[/tex]
= [tex]3,760+3,870[/tex]
= [tex]7,630[/tex] ($)
Answer:
$8,498.75
Explanation:
Jose = ($23.5x40x52)/12=$4073.33
Zola = ($21.5x40x52/12)+($21.5x1.5(overtime pay)x5x52)/12= $3726.67+$698.75=$4425.41
Combined = $4073.33+ $4425.42= $8498.75

On January 1, Year 1, Jing Company purchased office equipment that cost $15,200 cash. The equipment was delivered under terms FOB shipping point, and transportation cost was $1,300. The equipment had a five-year useful life and a $5,700 expected salvage value. Assume that Jing Company earned $17,400 cash revenue and incurred $11,000 in cash expenses in Year 3. The company uses the straight-line method. The office equipment was sold on December 31, Year 3 for $8,900. What is the company's net income (loss) for Year 3?
a. $4,752 and $12,672
b. $2,200 and $12,760
c. $2,851 and $16,151
d. $0 and $13,300
Answer:
$3,120
Explanation:
First and foremost, annual depreciation expense is determined using the below straight-line method formula:
annual depreciation=total cost of equipment-salvage value/useful life
total cost of equipment=purchase price+ transportation cost
total cost of equipment=$15,200+$1,300
total cost of equipment=$16,500
salvage value=$5,700
useful life =5 years
annual depreciation=($16,500-$5,700)/5
annual depreciation=$2,160
net income=cash revenue-cash expenses-annual depreciation+profit/(loss) on disposal
profit or(loss)=sales proceeds-book value
book value=cost-accumulated depreciation for 3 years
book value=$16,500-($2160*3)=$10,020
profit/(loss) on disposal=$8,900-$10,020=-$1,120
net income= $17,400-$11,000-$2,160-$1,120
net income=$3,120

First, we need to calculate the total cost for each activity level:
High activity level= 27,000*27.3= $737,100
Low activity level= 23,000*34.3= $788,900
Now, using the high-low method, we can determine the variable and fixed costs:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (788,900 - 737,100) / (27,000 - 23,000)
Variable cost per unit= $12.95 per machine-hour
Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)
Fixed costs= 788,900 - (12.95*27,000)
Fixed costs= $439,250
Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)
Fixed costs= 737,100 - (12.95*23,000)
Fixed costs= $439,250
Finally, for 25,000 hours:
Total cost= 439,250 + 12.95*2,5000
Total cost= $763,000
Dehner Corporation uses a job-order costing system with a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours. The company based its predetermined overhead rate for the current year on the following data: Total direct labor-hours 85,000 Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost $ 306,000 Variable manufacturing overhead per direct labor-hour $ 6.00 Recently, Job P951 was completed with the following characteristics: Number of units in the job 25 Total direct labor-hours 100 Direct materials $ 700 Direct labor cost $ 8,500 The total job cost for Job P951 is closest to:
Answer:
Total job cost $10,160
Explanation:
The computation of the total job cost is shown below:
Predetermined fixed overhead rate
= total fixed manufacturing overhead expense ÷ total direct labor hours
= $306,000 ÷ $85000
= $3.60 Per hour
Now
Particulars Cost
direct materials $700
Direct labor cost $8500
Fixed manufacturing overhead cost (100 × 3.60) $360
Variable manufacturing overhead cost (100 × 6.00) $600
Total job cost $10,160
Worldwide Manufacturing produces a unique valve and has the capacity to produce 50,000 valves annually. Currently Worldwide produces 40,000 valves and is thinking about increasing production to 45,000 valves next year. What is the most likely behavior of total manufacturing costs and unit manufacturing costs, given this change
Answer:
c) Total manufacturing costs will increase and unit manufacturing costs will also decrease.
Explanation:
Based on the information given the most likely behavior of total manufacturing costs and unit manufacturing costs, given this change is that TOTAL MANUFACTURING COSTS WILL INCREASE AND UNIT MANUFACTURING COSTS WILL DECREASE since Manufacturing cost consists of DIRECT MATERIALS, DIRECT LABOR, VARIABLE MANUFACTURING OVERHEAD and FIXED MANUFACTURING OVERHEAD in which direct materials, direct labor and variable manufacturing overhead are Variable expense which means that if the production increases from $40,000 to $45,000 the total manufacturing cost will as well INCREASE but due to the FIXED MANUFACTURING COST involved , the unit manufacturing cost will have to decrease.
Over the last year, Calzone Corporation paid a quarterly dividend of $0.10 in each of the four quarters. The current stock price of Calzone Corporation is $39.78. What is the dividend yield for Calzone stock
Answer: 1.0%
