Calculating the price elasticity of supplyJake is a retired teacher who lives in New York City and does some consulting work for extra cash. At a wage of $50 per hour, he is willing to work 7 hours per week. At $65 per hour, he is willing to work 10 hours per week. Using the midpoint method, the elasticity of Jakeâs labor supply between the wages of $50 and $65 per hour is approximately ___ , which means that Jakeâs supply of labor over this wage range is ___ .
Answer:
1.38; Elastic
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the Elasticity of labor supply (E)
Using this formula
Elasticity of labor supply (E) = (Change in hours worked / Average hours worked) / (Change in wage rate / Average wage rate)
Let plug in the formula
Elasticity of labor supply (E) = [(10 - 7) / (10 + 7)] / [$(65 - 50) / $(65 + 50)]
Elasticity of labor supply (E) = (3/ 17) / (15 / 117)
Elasticity of labor supply (E) =0.1765/0.1282
Elasticity of labor supply (E)=1.38
Therefore elasticity of Jakeâs labor supply between the wages of $50 and $65 per hour is approximately 1.38 which means that Jakeâs supply of labor over this wage range is ELASTIC
Suppose that you buy a two-year 7.4% bond at its face value. a-1. What will be your total nominal return over the two years if inflation is 2.4% in the first year and 4.4% in the second?
Answer: 15.35%
Explanation:
The total nominal return over the two years if inflation is 2.4% in the first year and 4.4% in the second year will be calculated thus:
= (1+Interest rate)² -1
= (1 + 7.4%) - 1
= (1 + 0.074)² - 1
= 1.074² - 1
= 1.153476 - 1
= 0.153476
= 15.35% over the two years

ii) lessen the amount of groceries bought thus less money spentfreshly grown vegetables and fruits are consumed moreyou get to decide what pesticides and fertilizers you want to useA TV manufacturing company uses speakers at the rate of 8000/mo. When it places an order for speakers it incurs a fixed cost of $1200. The monthly interest rate for keeping a speaker in stock is assessed at 1%/mo. The cost of the speaker depends on the order size. If less than 1000 speakers are ordered the cost is $11 each. When the order size is between 1000 and 10,000 the cost is $10.50/unit. For order sizes between 10,000 and 30,000 the cost is $10 per unit. For order quantities between 30,000 and 80,000 the cost drops to $9.50. Beyond 80,000 the cost is $9.25. Determine the optimum order size and time between orders if shortages are not allowed.

A manufacturer reports the following costs to produce 10,000 units in its first year of operations: Direct materials, $10 per unit, Direct labor, $6 per unit, Variable overhead, $70,000, and Fixed overhead, $120,000. The total product cost per unit under absorption costing is
Answer:
Total unitary product cost= $35
Explanation:
The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.
Unitary overhead= (120,000 + 70,000) / 10,000) $19
Now, the total product cost:
Total unitary product cost= 10 + 6 + 19
Total unitary product cost= $35
Mandatory outlays a. require changes in existing laws if those outlays are to be altered. b. cannot be altered once they are made into law. c. usually change during the budget process. d. are a minor component of total outlays, and so are usually ignored.
Answer:
a. require changes in existing laws if those outlays are to be altered.
Explanation:
The mandatory outlays are the outlays in which there should be the need to change in the law i.e. already existed but the same is applied when the outlays could be changed or varied or altered
That means without alteration it does not required the changes
Therefore the option a is correct
For each of the regions, use the midpoint method to identify whether the supply of this good is elastic or inelastic. Region Elastic Inelastic Between W and X Between Y and Z 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.
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.
MC Qu. 113 Kayak Company uses a job order costing... Kayak Company uses a job order costing system and allocates its overhead on the basis of direct labor costs. Kayak Company's production costs for the year were: direct labor, $35,000; direct materials, $55,000; and factory overhead applied $6,500. The overhead application rate was:
Answer:
$0.19 per direct labor hour
Explanation:
It is important to keep in mind the following :
Overhead application rate = Budgeted Overheads ÷ Budgeted Activity
also,
Applied Overheads = Overhead application rate x Actual Activity
Using the formula :
Applied Overheads = Overhead application rate x Actual Activity
hence,
Overhead application rate = Applied Overheads ÷ Actual Activity
therefore,
Overhead application rate = $6,500 ÷ $35,000
= $0.185 or $0.19 per direct labor hour

A dozen eggs cost $0.96 in December 2000 and $1.82 in December 2017. The average wage for workers in private industries was $14.28 per hour in December 2000 and $22.31 in December 2017. By what percentage did the price of a dozen eggs rise
Answer:
the percentage in which the price of the dozen eggs rise is 89.58% or 90%
Explanation:
The computation of the percentage in which the price of the dozen eggs rise is shown below;
Percentage Change in Dozens egg price is
= (Price in 2017 - Price in 2000) ÷ Price in 2000 × 100
= ($1.82 - $0.96) ÷ $0.96 × 100
= 89.58% or 90%
Hence, the percentage in which the price of the dozen eggs rise is 89.58% or 90%

Explanation:
The government of Egalitariania wants to favor firms and is considering implementing a maximum wage. Assume the maximum wage is both binding and less than the equilibrium wage. What happens to the employment of workers
Answer: It will increase
Explanation:
A maximum wage means that companies do not have to pay more than a certain wage limit. If this wage limit is less than the equilibrium wage, companies would be able to spend less on wages than they are normally supposed to.
Their cost will therefore reduce and they will be able to hire more workers with the money they would have spent to pay the workers the equilibrium wage thereby increasing the number of people employed in the country.

In the first month of operations, the total of the debit entries to the cash account amounted to $900 and the total of the credit entries to the cash account amounted to $600. The cash account has a(n)
Answer:
$300 debit balance
Explanation:
In business debit entries mean that the money is being added to the account, while credit entries means that the money is owed and is therefore being deducted from the account. Therefore, in this scenario the cash account has a $300 debit balance. This is because the credit entries are being subtracted from the debit entries (assuming that the account had a $0 initial balance). If we do the math we are left with $300 of debit.
$900 - $600 = $300

On January 1, Year 7, Colorado Corp. purchased a machine having an estimated useful life of 8 years and no salvage value. The machine was depreciated by the double-declining-balance (DDB) method for both financial statement and income tax reporting. On January 1, Year 9, Colorado justifiably changed to the straight-line method for both financial statement and income tax reporting. Accumulated depreciation at December 31, Year 8, was $525,000. If the straight-line method had been used, the accumulated depreciation at December 31, Year 8, would have been $300,000. The retroactive adjustment to the accumulated depreciation account on January 1, Year 9, as a result of the change in depreciation method is
Answer:
Colorado Corp.
The retroactive adjustment to the accumulated depreciation account on January 1, Year 9, as a result of the change in depreciation method is:
= $0.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Accumulated depreciation at December 31, Year 8 based on double declining balance method = $525,000
Accumulated depreciation at December 31, Year 8 based on straight-line method = $300,000
The required adjustment to the accumulated depreciation account = $0 ($525,000 - $525,000)
b) The accumulated depreciation account does not require a retrospective adjustment. It will remain at $525,000 while the company continues to apply the straight-line method going forward. The change is called a change in accounting estimate and not a change in accounting principle that requires retrospective application and adjustment to the previous years' accounts.

Eight months ago, you purchased 400 shares of Winston, Inc. stock at a price of $56.90 a share. To date the company has paid quarterly dividends of $.55 a share twice. Today, you sold all of your shares for $49.40 a share. What is your total percentage return on this investment
Answer:
Shares of Winston, Inc. Stock
The total percentage return on this investment is:
= -11.25%
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Purchase cost = $22,760 (400 * $56.90)
Quarterly dividends received = $440 (400 * $0.55) * 2
Sales price = $19,760 (400 * $49.40)
Total cash receipts from the investment = $20,200 ($440 + $19,760)
Total returns from the investment = -$2,560
Total percentage return on the investment = -$2,560/$22,760 * 100
= -11.25%
b) There is a loss of value on the investment amounting to $2,560, which is 11.25%. The investment actually yielded a negative return.

Gross Inc. signs a five-year licensing agreement with Maiger Company. Gross Inc. will pay Maiger annual installment payments of $10,500 at the beginning of each of the five years. The fair value of the contract is $48,000. Over the five-year contract period, Gross Inc. will pay interest of:
Answer:
$4,500
Explanation:
First, calculate the total Installment
Total Installment payment = Annual Installment x Numbers of annual
Where
Annual Installment = $10,500 per year
Numbers of annual = 5 years
Installment payment = $10,500 per year x 5 years
Installment payment = $52,500
Now use the following formula to calculate the Interest payent
Interest payment = Installment Payment - Fair value of contract
Where
Installment Payment = $52,500
Fair value of contract = $48,000
Placing values in the formula
Interest payment = $52,500 - $48,000
Interest payment = $4,500
The Greenbriar is an all-equity firm with a total market value of $539,000 and 21,300 shares of stock outstanding. Management is considering issuing $137,000 of debt at an interest rate of 10 percent and using the proceeds on a stock repurchase. Ignore taxes. How many shares will the firm repurchase if it issues the debt securities
Answer:
5,413 shares
Explanation:
The computation of the no of shares repurchased is given below;
Market Price per Share
= Existing market Value of Firm ÷ Number of Shares Outstanding
= $539,000 ÷ 21,300 Shares
= $25.31 per share
Now
Total number of shares that can be redeemed
= Total Debt Issued ÷ Market Price per share
= $137,000 ÷ $25.31 per Share
= 5,413 shares
