Vikki [24]

Answer:

The firm's overhead was $1,000 under-applied

Explanation:

For computing the firm overhead amount, first, we have to compute the predetermined overhead rate. The formula is shown below:

Predetermined overhead rate = (Total estimated manufacturing overhead) ÷ (estimated direct labor-hours)

= $150,000 ÷ 15,000 hours

= $10

Now we have to find the actual overhead which equal to

= Actual direct labor-hours × predetermined overhead rate

= 14,500 hours × $10

= $145,000

So, the firm overhead equals to

= Actual manufacturing overhead - actual overhead

= $146,000 - $145,000

= $1,000 under-applied

Answer:

The correct option is C.

Explanation: Price elasticity is the measure of the rate of change in the level of quantity demanded due to a change in the level of price.

Price elasticity is usually negative, this means that it follows the law of demand; as price increases quantity demanded decreases.

Also, another incidence that can affect price elasticity is an availability of cheaper alternatives. If cheaper alternatives of a particular product are introduced into the market, the demand for that product will reduce, because consumers will abandon it for its cheaper alternatives, thereby driving the elasticity of that product higher.

Therefore, in the scenario given above, the elasticity is higher than -1.2 because there are new brands that have just been introduced into the market.

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

Whenever there’s a $300 charge from the Big Winner, and normal household income is expected to be around $50,000, it can fill 200 rooms per night at that price. Though, if there’s an increase in a typical household income to $55,000, the quantity of rooms that would be demanded will rises to 300 rooms per night. You can calculate the income elasticity of demand for Big Winner's hotel rooms by dividing the percentage change in quantity demanded by the percentage change in income:

Income Elasticity of Demand Income Elasticity of Demand =
