Answer:
A) elastic demand
B) unit elastic demand
C) inelastic demand
Explanation:
A)
increases prices = 48 %
total revenue decreases = 59% hence, this is elastic demand. Since increase in price has brought about decrease in quantity demand definitely revenue will fall
B)
decreases ticket prices = 12 %
total revenue doesn't altered hence it s unit elastic demand, since there is change in price and quantity demand. So revenue remains unaltered.
C)
increases its prices = 52%
total revenue increases = 34%
Quantity demanded is lower to change in price hence, increase in total revenue. Hence it's inelastic demand

Suppose that France and Sweden both produce oil and cheese. France's opportunity cost of producing a pound of cheese is 3 barrels of oil while Sweden's opportunity cost of producing a pound of cheese is 11 barrels of oil.
By comparing the opportunity cost of producing cheese in the two countries, you can tell that ? has a comparative advantage in the production of cheese and ? has a comparative advantage in the production of oil.
Supposed that France and Sweden consider trading cheese and oil with each other. France can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than ? of oil for each pound of cheese it exports to Sweden. Similarly, Sweden can gain from trade as long as it receives more than ? of cheese for each barrel of oil it exports to France. Based on your answer to the last question, which of the following terms of trade (that is, price of cheese in terms of oil) would allow both Sweden and France to gain from trade?
a. 6 barrels of oil per pound of cheese
b. 13 barrels of oil per pound of cheese
c. 4 barrel of oil per pound of cheese
d. 2 barrels of oil per pound of cheese
Answer:
FRANCE has a comparative advantage in the production of cheese and SWEDEN has a comparative advantage in the production of oil.
Comparative advantages result form the lowest opportunity costs. In this case, France's opportunity cos tot produce cheese is lower, while Sweden's opportunity cost of producing oil is lower.France can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than 3 BARRELS of oil for each pound of cheese it exports to Sweden. Similarly, Sweden can gain from trade as long as it receives more than 1/11 POUNDS of cheese for each barrel of oil it exports to France.
Based on your answer to the last question, which of the following terms of trade (that is, price of cheese in terms of oil) would allow both Sweden and France to gain from trade?
a. 6 barrels of oil per pound of cheese c. 4 barrel of oil per pound of cheeseAmy borrowed $10,500 to purchase a new Toyota Yaris and agreed to pay back $14,320 in
220days. What ordinary interest rate was she paying? (Round your answer to the pearest tenth
of a percent.)
Answer: 60.36%
Explanation:
Interest = Amount - Principal
= 14320 - 10500
= 3820
Time = 220 days
Rate = Unknown
Interest = PRT/100
3820 = (10500 × R × 220/365)/100
3820 = (10500 × R × 0.6027397)/100
3820 = 6328.7671R/100
Cross multiply
3820 × 100 = 6328.7671R
R = 382000/6328.7671
R = 60.36%
The ordinary interest rate was 60.36%

Accrued revenues: Multiple Choice At the end of one accounting period result in cash receipts in a future period. At the end of one accounting period often result in cash payments in the next period. Are also called unearned revenues. Are listed on the balance sheet as liabilities. Are recorded at the end of an accounting period because cash has already been received for revenues earned.
Answer:
At the end of one accounting period result in cash receipts in a future period.
Explanation:
Accrued revenues is money owed by customers for goods bought or services purchased.
Accrued revenue is recorded as an asset on the balance sheet as receivables.
For example, if a customer buys a dress and is yet to pay for the dress. the amount the customer is supposed to pay is recorded as an accrued revenue at the end of the accounting period
Unearned revenue is money received by a company for services that are yet to be rendered.
In addition, the direct machine hours (dmh) used to produce a unit of each product in each department were determined from engineering records, as follows: Commercial Residential Assembly Department 2.0 dmh 3.0 dmh Testing Department 6.0 1.5 Total machine hours per unit 8.0 dmh 4.5 dmh a. Determine the per-unit factory overhead allocated to the commercial and residential motors under the single plantwide factory overhead rate method, using direct machine hours as the allocation base.
Answer:
A. Per unit overhead allocated to Commercial $960
Per unit overhead allocated to Residential $540
B. Total Costs Commercial$1,100
Total Costs Residential $450
C. Option 2
Explanation:
a. Calculation to Determine the per-unit factory overhead allocated to the commercial and residential motors
First step is to calculate the Plantwide overhead rate
Plantwide overhead rate = 1,080,000 / 9,000
Plantwide overhead rate= $120 per machine hour
Now let calculate the Per unit overhead allocated to Commercial and Residential
Per unit overhead allocated to Commercial = 120 x 8
Per unit overhead allocated to Commercial = $960
Per unit overhead allocated to Residential = 120 x 4.5
Per unit overhead allocated to Residential = $540
b. Calculation to Determine the per-unit factory overhead allocated to the commercial and residential motors
First step is to calculate the Departmental overhead rate in Assembly and Testing
Departmental overhead rate in Assembly = 280,000 / 4,000
Departmental overhead rate in Assembly= $70 per machine hour
Departmental overhead rate in Testing = 800,000 / 5,000
Departmental overhead rate in Testing = $160 per machine hour
Now let calculate the Costs Allocated to Product using Department overhead rate
Costs Allocated to Product using Department overhead rate:
Commercial Residential
Assembly Department 140 210
(2 x 70=140) (3 X 70=210)
Testing Department 960 240
(160 X6=960) (160 X 1.5=240)
Total Costs $1,100 $450
(140+960=$1,100) (210+240=$450)
c. Based on the information given OPTION 2 which says that the management shall tend to consider SINGLE plantwide factory overhead rate methods reason been that this method helps to calculates cost very accurately taking into factor that overheads are evenly applied on basis of direct labor hours. Which is why OPTION 2 will be Recommend to management as a product costing approach, based on the analyses in (a) and (b).

A trading company on April 30, paid BD 750,000 for a machine which can produce 1,400,000 units in 10 years life. The machine have a salvage value of BD 50,000 and produce 25,000 units in first year, 45,000 units in second year and 70,000 units in third year. Compute depreciation expense for the Second year assuming the company uses the unit production method. O A. 22500 O B. 35000 O C. 12500 O D. 15000
Answer: A. BD 22,500
Explanation:
First find the depreciation per unit:
= (Cost of machine -Salvage value) / Total units to be produced over lifetime
= (750,000 - 50,000) / 1,400,000
= BD 0.5 per unit
There are 45,000 units to be produced in the second year:
= 45,000 * 0.5
= BD 22,500

The government passes a new investment tax credit initiative. Which input in the production function changes, and what is the effect on economic growth in the country? The capital stock decreases, and economic growth is negatively affected. Technological advance occurs, but there is no effect on economic growth. The capital stock increases, and economic growth is positively affected. Human capital is enhanced, and economic growth is positively affected.
Answer: The capital stock increases, and economic growth is positively affected.
Explanation:
If the government offers an investment tax credit, a situation will arise where entities will invest more knowing that they do not have to pay as much in taxes.
This investment will lead to an increase in capital stock as this is what investment purchases to enable production. With more capital stock, production levels will rise and the economy will grow.

A yield can be paid in form of what
Answer:
Interest and dividends.
Explanation:
Rate of return can be defined as the percentage of an interest or dividends earned on an amount of money that is invested.
In Financial accounting, a return refers to the amount of profit generated by an investor on an investment over a specific period of time.
Basically, the rate of return which is typically expressed as a percentage of the initial costs of an investment can either be a gain or a loss on an investment. Therefore, a positive rate of return on an investment over a specific period of time, simply means that an investor is making a profit (gains) while a negative rate of return on an investment over a specific period of time, indicates that the investor is running at a loss.
A yield can be defined as an amount of money gained from an investment.
Hence, a yield can be paid in form of interest and dividends.

On January 1, 2021, Oliver Foods issued stock options for 47,000 shares to a division manager. The options have an estimated fair value of $7 each. To provide additional incentive for managerial achievement, the options are not exercisable unless Oliver Foods' stock price increases by 6% in four years. Oliver Foods initially estimates that it is not probable the goal will be achieved. How much compensation will be recorded in each of the next four years
Answer:
$82,250
Explanation:
the compensation per year = 47,000 x 1/4 x$7 per stock = $82,250
The compensation must be allocated proportionally to every year included in the plan, regardless of the conditions specified by the plan. The stock price already implicitly includes the most probable market conditions for the company, so that is the price that has to be used to record the compensation plan.

Total Stockholders' Equity, prior year $500
Retained Earnings, current year $366
Retained Earnings, prior year $346
Market price per share $50
Average Number of Common Shares Outstanding during year 46
Required: Compute the following ratios:
A) current ratio
B) average collection period in days
C) return on stockholders' equity
D) price-earnings ratio
E) dividend yield
Answer:
a. Current ratio = Total current assets / Total current liabilities = $366 / $226 = 1.62 to 1
b. Average receivable = (Beginning receivables + Ending receivables) / 2 = ($156 + $160) / 2 = $158
Average collection period = Number of days in year / Credit sales * Average accounts receivable = 365 / $1,702 * $158 = 33.88 days
c. Average Stockholder's equity = (Beginning equity + Ending equity) / 2 = ($500 + $550) / 2 = $525
Return on stockholder's equity = Net income / Average stockholder's equity = $112 / $525 = 21.33%
d. Earnings per share = Net income / Common shares outstanding = $112 / 46 = $2.43 per share
Price earnings ratio = Market price per share / Earnings per share = $50 / $2.43 = 20.58 times
e. Dividends per share = Dividends / Common shares outstanding = $92 / 46 = $2.00 per share
Dividend yield ratio = Dividend per share / Market price per share = $2.00 / $50 = 4.00%

Recompute the cost-to-retail percentage using the average cost method.
Answer:
Cost to retail ratio = 57.05%
Explanation:
Particulars Cost Retail
Beginning Inventory $46,000 $66,000
Add: Purchases $213,000 $406,000
Less: Purchases Return $7,000 $9,000
Freight In $15,558 -
Net Markups - $6,400
Good Avail. for Sales (Without markdowns) $267,558 $469,000
Cost to retail ratio = $267,558/$469,000
Cost to retail ratio = 0.570486
Cost to retail ratio = 57.05%
A manufacturer of programmable calculators is attempting to determine a reasonable free- service period for a model it will introduce shortly. The manager of product testing has indicated that the calculators have an expected life of 30 months. Assume product life can be described by an exponential distribution.
a. If service contracts are offered for the expected life of the calculator, what percentage of those sold would be expected to fail during the service period?
b. What service period would result in a failure rate of approximately 10 percent?
Answer:
a. P(failure before T) = 1 - e^(-(T/MTBF)).................(1)
Where e = value obtained from table, T = Length of service before failure, MTBF = 30, Mean time before failure = 30 months
P = 1 - e^(-(T/MTBF))
P = 1 - e^(-(30/30))
P = 1 - 0.3679
P = 0.6321
So, 63.21% of sold product would all during the service period if service contracts are offered for expected life of the calculator
b. Here, the value of P is given. P = 10% = 0.10
1 - e^(-(T/MTBF)) = 0.10
e^(-(T/30) = 0.90
T/30 = 0.10
T = 0.10*30
T = 3 months
So, the service period would be 3 month that result in failure rate of 10%
Langler, Inc., is evaluating two capital projects. Langler has a capital budget of $50 million. Project P has an internal rate of return of 24% and a net present value of $5 million. Project Q has an internal rate of return of 18% and a net present value of $12 million. Project P will cost $15 million, and Project Q will cost $48 million. Based on this information, Langler should accept:
Answer: Project Q
Explanation:
If the company can accept only one project, they should accept Project Q because it has a higher net present value than Project P. This is because a higher Net Present value takes precedence to IRR as it discounts cashflows at the company's cost of capital and is already adjusted for cost.
With the company budget at $50 million, accepting Project Q which costs $48 million means that they will be unable to accept Project P. That is fine because Project Q as earlier mentioned, provides a higher NPV.
How do working conditions and company's image motivate employees?
Answer:
Work environment, in a nutshell, not only contributes to higher performance of employees, but also influences motivation of employees. Working environment influences a person in his/her work, work process, hence outcomes of work, interest in the outcomes, and frequently influences private life of a person as well.
Explanation:
Employee motivation is key to an organisation's success. It's the level of commitment, drive and energy that a company's workers bring to the role everyday. Without it, companies experience reduced productivity, lower levels of output and it's likely that the company will fall short of reaching important goals too.

Answer:
(i know this is late) im taking the test on plato and I think it's a hydrologist
Explanation:
Suppose the current price of a good is $55. At this price, the quantity supplied is 165 units, and the quantity demanded is 240 units. For every $1 increase in price, the quantity supplied increases by 5 units and the quantity demanded decreases by 10 units. At the current price, the quantity demanded isgreater than the quantity supplied. This means that the market is currently experiencing asurplus . In order to adjust, the market price willincrease until the quantity demanded and quantity supplied are equal. The result is an equilibrium quantity of and an equilibrium price of $ .
Answer:
190
$60
Explanation:
Equilibrium price is the price at which quantity demanded equals quantity supplied
Equilibrium quantity is the quantity at which quantity demanded equals quantity supplied
Let x = change in quantity supplied
the following equations can be derived from the question
165 + 5x = total change in quantity supplied
240 - 10x = total change in quantity demanded
At equilibrium, quantity demanded equals quantity supplied. So,
165 + 5x = 240 - 10x
collect like terms and solve for x
15x = 75
x = 5
this means that quantity supplied would have to increase 5 times : 165 + 5(5) = 190
and quantity demanded would have to decrease 5 times : 240 + 10(5) = 190
equilibrium quantity is 190
equilibrium price = $55 + 1(5) = $60
Analyse, using a production possibility curve (PPC) diagram, the effect of an increase in enterprise on an economy.
Answer:
Describe economic growth using a PPC diagram.
Explanation:
Production possibility curve shows all different attainable combinations of the production of two commodities that can be produced in an economy given the resources and technology which are constant and fully utilized. Therefore to achieve any point beyond PPC, there is need for increase in the present supply of resources and technology which leads to an outward shift in PPC as overall production increases which results in economic growth as shown in the diagram.

The production possibility curve, diagram illustrates the effect of an increase in enterprise on an economy as progressive if the quality and output are balanced.
What is the economy?The economy of any country is determined by the ratio of production and consumption that takes place within a year and evaluates the flow of funds in the market by analyzing the purchasing parity of an individual.
The production possibilities curve (PPC) is a graph that displays all the possible output combinations. when a nation's economy is operating at peak performance, generating goods and services for the general public while allocating resources most effectively.
An increase in the enterprise means requiring more numbers of laborers and employees to work which shows the availability of employment which results in an increase in purchasing parity of an individual and helps in improving the economy.
