A restaurant sells salsa and guacamole, each of which can be eaten with the tacos that the restaurant sells. The manager of the

restaurant is not sure whether salsa and guacamole are substitutes or complements. However, after increasing the price of guacamole from $2.00 to $2.50, the manager notices that daily salsa sales rise by 5%. What is the cross price elasticity of salsa and guacamole, and what can the manager conclude about their relationship?

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

= \frac{new price\ -\ initial\ price}{initial\ price} \times100

= \frac{2.50\ -\ 2}{2} \times100

= 25%

The demand for salsa rises by 5%.

The cross price elasticity will be

= \frac{percenatge\ change\ in\ quantity\ demanded}{percenatge\ change\ in\ price}

= \frac{5}{25}

= 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.

Wehrs Corporation has received a request for a special order of 9,700 units of product K19 for $47.20 each. The normal selling p
Grace [21]

Answer:

See below.

Explanation:

We can compute the profitability of this special order by accounting for the incremental costs,

Sales (9700 * 47.20) = $457,840

Incremental Variable costs = (18 + 7.30 + 4.50 + 6.90) = $36.7/unit

The incremental variable costs include the $6.9 for modifications and does not include 7.4 which is a part of non incremental fixed costs.

Profits from this special order are as follows,

Sales                                                   457,840

Less:

Variable costs (36.7*9700)                355,990

Incremental Fixed costs                    46,700

Profits from this special order           55,150

Since the order has positive contribution and as it yields profits, it should be accepted.

Hope that helps.

Melinda signs a three year contract for employment as a legal studies lecturer. Does this type of contract fall within the scope
abruzzese [7]

Answer: Yes, because it is a contract whose terms prevent possible performance within one year

Explanation:

The Statute of Fraud mandates that certain contracts need to be written down. These contracts include the sale of land, amounts involving more than $500 and contracts that have a timeframe of over a year.

Melinda entered into a contract with terms that have to be fulfilled in more than a year. It is therefore under the Statute of Frauds.

Say that Alland can produce 32 units of food per person per year or 16 units of clothing per person per year, but Georgeland can
bixtya [17]

Answer:

Georgeland has an absolute but not a comparative advantage in producing clothing.

Explanation:

Absolute advantage is defined as the ability of a firm to produce higher amounts of a product as a result of use of the same resources with other competitors. It is usually bad a result of more efficient production process.

Comparative advantage is the ability of a firm to produce goods at a lower opportunity cost. Therefore they are able to sell at lower price compared to competitors.

Georgeland can produce 18 units of clothe per year while Alland can produce 16 units per year, so Georgeland has absolute advantage.

In producing clothes Georgeland has opportunity cost of 36 units of food which is higher than that of Alland which is 32 units of food. So Georgeland does not have comparative advantage in producing clothes.

<em>I can see there are no choices.</em>

Purchase or Lease Stage

Explanation:

The "Hardware Lifecycle" has several stages or phases. These are:<em> Plan, Purchase or Lease, Deploy & Install, Maintenance, Upgrade, Parts & Repair, Extend, Buyback or Trade In and Dispose or Recyle.</em>

The situation above is part of the<em> "Purchase or Lease Stage."</em> This stage <u>allows the person to buy the computer that they wanted.</u> When it comes to the IT hardware, the person can either "Buy" or "Lease." One may choose the second option if he is not yet ready to buy.

So, this explains the answer.
