Suppose that when the average college student's income is $10,000 per year, the annual quantity demanded of Patty's Pizza is 50

and the annual quantity demanded of Sue's Subs is 80. Suppose that when the price of Patty's Pizza increases from $8 to $10 per pie, the quantity demanded of Sue's Subs increases from 80 to 100. Suppose also that when the average student's income increases to $12,000 per year, the annual quantity demanded of Patty's Pizza increases from 50 to 60.Refer to Scenario 5-1. Using the midpoint method, what is the income elasticity of demand for pizza and what does the value indicate about the demand for pizza?A. The income elasticity is 1 so pizza is a normal good.B. The income elasticity is -1 so pizza is an inferior good.C. The income elasticity is 0.18 so pizza is a normal good.D. The income elasticity is 1 so pizza is unitary elastic.

Answer:

Explanation:

Pizza quantity Change = 60-50 = 10

Income change = $12000 - $10000 = $2000

Mid point of Quantity of Pizza = (50+60)/2 = 55

Mid point of income =  ($12000 + $10000)/2 = $11000

Income elasticity = 10*11,000/2000*55 = 110,000/110,000=1

Pizza is a unit elastic normal good, because percentage change in income = % change in pizza quantity

leva [86]

Answer:

c) merchant wholesaler

Explanation:

A  merchant wholesaler is a business unit that buys merchandise in bulk from manufacturers and resells to retailers in smaller quantities. The wholesale business has profit motives. It forms a link between manufacturers and retailers.

Unlike agents and brokers, merchant wholesalers take ownership of the goods they buy.  Carolyne should avoid becoming a merchant wholesaler. As a wholesaler, she will own all the merchandise she purchases. She can choose to be either an agent or broker as these do not take title to the merchandise.

Kubin Company’s relevant range of production is 18,000 to 22,000 units. When it produces and sells 20,000 units, its average cos
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

a)Variable cost= $14u

b)Variable cost=$14u

c) Total variable cost= $252000

d) Total variable cost= $308000

e) Fixed cost per unit= $12,22

f) Fixed cost per unit= $10

g) Total fixed manufacturing overhead= $100000

h) Total fixed manufacturing overhead= $100000

Explanation:

The relevant range refers to a specific activity level that is bounded by a minimum and maximum amount. Within the designated boundaries, certain expense levels can be expected to maintain. Outside of that relevant range, expenses will likely differ from the expected amount.

The range of production is between 18000 and 22000 units. In this range, variable and fixed costs will likely maintain.

We know that at 20000 units the variable and fixed costs are:

Variable:

Direct materials $ 7.00 unit

Direct labor $ 4.00 unit

Variable manufacturing overhead $ 1.50 unit

Sales commissions $ 1.00 unit

Variable administrative expense $ 0.50 unit

Total variable cost= $14u

Fixed costs:

Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 5.00*20000u=$10000

Fixed selling expense $ 3.50*20000u=$70000

Fixed administrative expense $ 2.50*20000u=$50000

Total fixed cost= $220000

a)Q=18000 (it is in the range)

Variable cost= $14u

b)Q=22000  (it is in the range)

Variable cost=$14u

c) Q=18000

Total variable cost= QxCv=18000*14=$252000

d)Q=22000

Total variable cost= QxCv=22000*14=$308000

e) Q=18000

Fixed cost per unit=total fixed cost/Q= 220000/18000=$12,22

f)Q=22000

Fixed cost per unit=total fixed cost/Q= 220000/22000=$10

g) Q=18000

Total fixed manufacturing overhead= $100000 (it doesn't change with production between range)

h) Q=22000

Total fixed manufacturing overhead= $100000 (it doesn't change with production between range)
