The absolute value of the price elasticity of demand for gasoline in the long run has been estimated to be 1.5. If an extended w

ar in the Middle East caused the price of oil (from which gasoline is made) to increase and remain high for a decade, how would that affect total expenditures on gasoline in the long run, all other things equal? (Hint: Consider the change in gasoline prices.)

Answer:

The demand for gasoline is elastic

As a result of the extended war which raises the price of oil, the price of gasoline would rise as a result. the rise in price would lead to a greater change in the quantity demanded. In the long run, consumers would have enough time to search for suitable substitutes so total expenditures on gasoline would fall more in the long run

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.

Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price

If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.

The Skagit Company manufactures Hooks and Nooks. The following shows the activities per product and total activity information:
gladu [14]

Answer:

Total factory overhead to be charged to each unit of Hooks is $33

Explanation:

Sum of all Activity Cost = Total Factory Overhead

Calculate the total factory overhead to be charged to each unit of Hooks

Activity rate = Budgeted amount / Total of each activity base

∴ Activity Rate

      For Setups = 60,000 / 20,000 = 3 per setup

      For Inspections = 120,000 / 24,000 = 5 per inspections

      For Assembly = 420,000 / 28,000 = 15 per dlh

Activity Cost = Activity base for each unit * Activity rate

∴ Activity Cost

      For Setups = 1 x 3 = $3

      For Inspections = 3 x 5 = $15

      For Assembly = 1 x 15 = $15

Recall that;

Sum of all Activity Cost is the Total Factory Overhead

= $3 + $15 + $15

= $33

A bond has a face value of $1,000, a coupon of 4% paid annually, a maturity of 30 years, and a yield to maturity of 7%. What rat
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

-11.8%

Explanation:

the key to answer this question is to remember that valuation of a bond depends basically of calculating the present value of a series of cash flows, so let´s think about a bond as if you were a lender so you will get interest by the money you lend (coupon) and at the end of n years you will get back the money you lend at the beginnin (principal), so applying math we have the bond value given by:

price=\frac{principal*coupon}{(1+i)^{1} }+ \frac{principal*coupon}{(1+i)^{2} } \frac{principal*coupon}{(1+i)^{3} }+...+\frac{principal+principal*coupon}{(1+i)^{n} }

so in this particular case that one year later there are 29 years to maturity so we have:

price=\frac{1,000*0.04}{(1+0.08)^{1} }+ \frac{1,000*0.04}{(1+0.08)^{2} } \frac{1000*0.04}{(1+0.08)^{3} }+...+\frac{1,000+1,000*0.04}{(1+0.08)^{30} }

price=553.6638

so as we have a higher rate the investment has the next return:

return=\frac{553.66}{627.73} -1

return=-11.8\%

LekaFEV [45]

Answer: D

Options included in the questions are:

“A. The demand for the magazine shifts to the left, and the supply curve shifts to the right. The equilibrium price falls, with an unknown change in the equilibrium quantity.

<span>B. The demand for the magazine does not change,  supply curve shifts to the left. The equilibrium price rises, while the equilibrium quantity falls. </span>

<span>C. The demand for the magazine shifts to the right, and the supply curve shifts to the left. The equilibrium price rises, with an unknown change in the equilibrium quantity. </span>

D. The demand for the magazine does not change, and the supply curve shifts to the right. The equilibrium price falls, but the equilibrium quantity rises.”

The answer is D.

The demand for the magazine does not change even if the price of the computers goes down. It is the equilibrium price that will fall due to decrease on the price of inputs resulting to increase in quantity of a magazine produced.

Present three examples that illustrate how all decisions involve trade-offs
satela [25.4K]
It is probably safe to say that most if not all decisions involve trade-offs. For example a person may be offered a job that pays well but requires 7 days per week for a month and while this is good for a younger person with no other commitments it may not work for an older person with his own family commitments and other projects. Another decision could be that for support, a husband decides to not take on major time consuming projects while his wife is doing intensive studying to become certified in a field of her choosing  so that he can support her. Another example is that when one cannot drive one's son with a disability to a beach to swim because it is too far and uses too much car gas, the money saved on gas some of it could be spent on his groceries.
