Answer:
The cross price elasticity of salsa and guacamole is 0.2. The two goods are substitutes.
Explanation:
The price of guacamole is increased from $2 to $2.5.
Percentage change in price
= 
= 
= 25%
The demand for salsa rises by 5%.
The cross price elasticity will be
= 
= 
= 0.2
We see that the cross price elasticity is positive. This means that the two goods are substitutes. When price of one good will increase consumers will prefer the cheaper substitute, increasing its demand.
Answer:
A one-time error in the application of the lower of cost or market/net realizable value (LCM/NRV) rule in the current period distorts financial results for the current accounting period:
a. only.
Explanation:
The lower of cost or market (LCM/NRV) method states that when valuing a company's inventory use the historical cost or the market value, whichever is lower. The historical cost refers to the cost at which the inventory was purchased. The market value is the current price. The implication is that while the historical cost remains static, the market value shifts over time.
Therefore, if there is a one-time error made in the use of the LCM/NRV rule, it only affects the current period. The next accounting period will restart the process of comparing the historical costs with the market value, thus obviating the need to repeat the error.
Answer:
These two statements are correct:
A. Potential employers may have believed that those with black-sounding names had completed less education.
African Americans on average have less rates of graduation from tertirary education than White Americans.
This situation might lead some employers to develop streotypes about African Americans being less educated, when it is clearly an error, and unfair, to reject a potential employee because of stereotyping instead of making an individualized analysis of his or her abilities.
D. Hiring firms may have believed that those with black-sounding names were more likely to have a criminal conviction.
African Americans on average are incarcerated more often than other ethnic groups in the US. The reasons for this are complex but poverty and racial discrimination are two big factors. This situation causes some employees to develop streotypes, leading to unfair situations as described in the first answer.
Answer: Option (b) is correct.
Explanation:
Opportunity cost is the benefit that is foregone for an individual by choosing one alternative over other alternatives available to him.
If the opportunity cost is lower for an individual then this will benefit him whereas if the opportunity cost is higher then this will not benefit the individuals.
The preferences of Pam, Pru and Pat are given. Therefore, according to their preferences, the opportunity cost of the trip to Hawaii for Pam and Pat is a cruise and for Pru is a skiing.
