Answer:

<em>Cross-price elasticity of demand = 0.1</em>

Explanation:

We have the formula to calculate the cross-price elasticity of demand as below:

<em>Cross-price elasticity of demand = % change in quantity demanded for product X/ % change in price of product Y</em>

<em />

Starbucks raises its price by 5 percent, so that <em>percentage changes in price of Starbucks' products</em> are 5

McDonald's experiences a 0.5 percent increase in demand for its coffee, so that <em>percentage changes in quantity demanded for McDonald's coffee </em>is 0.5

=> <em>Cross-price elasticity of demand = % changes in quantity demanded for McDonald's coffee/ %changes in price of Starbucks' products</em>

<em>= 0.5/5=  0.1</em>

A privately owned summer camp for youngsters has the following data for a 12-week session: Charge per camper $480 per week Fixed
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

a) (480-320)X - 192,000

where:

X is the camper amount which is an integer between;

0 < X <200

b) it will require 1,200 over the course of 12 weeks

c) operating gain of 115,200

d)  marginal cost at 80% capacity: 320

   average cost: 420 per camper per week

Explanation:

b) contribution per camper:

480 - 320 = 160 dollars

fixed cost 192,000

192,000 / 160 = 1,200 campers

c) at 80% capacity:

200 camper x 12 weeks x 80% x 160 contribution  =

  307.200‬ contribution

<u> - 192,000 </u>fixed cost

  115,200 operating gain

d) the marginal cost per camper would be the 320 cost per week as the fixed cost are incurrent already thus, each new camper cost is only their variable cost.

the average cost per camper will be:

200 camper x 12 weeks x 80% = 1,920 campers

the average cost would be the sum of variable and fixed cost:

(1,920 x 320  + 192,000) / 1,920 = <em>420‬</em>

<em />

we cna verify this:

(480 - 420) x 1,920  = 115.200‬

we get the same income as before thus, the calculation are correct.

Sebastian decides to open a tree farm. When deciding to open his own business, he turned down two separate job offers of $25,000
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer: C. Sebastian's economic profit is $4,000, and his accounting profit is $34,600.

Explanation:

Total Revenue = $50,000

Purchase of supplies = $15,000

Loan = $20,000 at 2% interest

Personal saving withdrawal = $20,000

Interest on personal savings = 3%

Accounting profit = Revenue - Expenses

Revenue = $50,000

Expenses = purchase in supplies + interest in loan

Expenses = $15,000 + (0.02 × 20,000)

Expenses = $15,000 + $400 = $15,400

Accounting profit = $50,000 - $15,400 = $36,600

Economic Profit = Accounting profit - Opportunity cost

Here best opportunity foregone = $30,000

Interest forgone on personal saving= $20,000 X 0.03 = $600

Total opportunity cost = $30,000 +$600 = $30,600

Thus Economic Profit = $34,600 - $30,600

= $4,000
