Answer:

We need first to calculate how much the quantity demanded changed

The quantity of fish demanded with a revenue of $1,500 at $5 per fish is equal to:

$1,500/$5 = 300

For a revenue of $1,800 at $9 per fish:

$1,800/$9 = 200

Now we can calculate the price elasticy of demand. Remember the formula

PED = ΔQuantity /ΔPrice

ΔQuantity = Q2 - Q1 / Q1

Where Q1 is the old quantity demanded and Q2 is the new quantity demanded

ΔQuantity = 200 - 300/300

                   = -0.33

ΔPrice = P2 - P1/P1

Where P1 is the old price and P2 is the new price

ΔPrice = 9 - 5/5 = 0.8

Now we can finally calculate the price elasticity of demand

PED = -0.33/0.8

       = -0,4125

Garcon Inc. manufactures electronic products, with two operating divisions, Consumer and Commercial. Condensed divisional income
leonid [27]

Answer:

1.Since there is spare capacity in the consumer division, the acceptable transfer prices are variable cost per unit - market price per unit

i.e. $104-$150

The transfer price should be set in between the two. However, $150 is an appropriate price

2. Income will increase as follows:

Consumer Division = (115-104)*2880 = $31,680    

Commercial Division = (150-115)*2880 = $100,800    

Company = $132,480

3) check the attached file

4.Income will increase as follows:    

Consumer Division = (126-104)*2880 = $63,360    

Commercial Division = (150-126)*2880 = $69,120    

Company = $132,480

Otis, the manager of a camera store, believes that his store may be closed by corporate in the near future, so he cannot sleep w
Wewaii [24]

Answer: His district manager may be influenced by <u><em>availability bias. </em></u>

Explanation:

Availability bias may influence his manager because the district manager has this information in his recent memory. He may consider this to be an accurate description of Otis's behavior all of the time, and not just in recent times. Since everything has occurred since the last evaluation he may be judged solely on these actions and not of his overall actions and work ethic in the past.

There are several ways to avoid availability bias such as:

  • Set high standards
  • Build a diverse team
  • Utilize your network
  • Seek input from your team

Talja [164]

Answer:

direct material = $2,000

so correct answer is B. $2,000

Explanation:

given data

total cost = $9,000

consists = 600 units

overhead apply = $3,000

overhead rate = 75% of direct labor

solution

we get here Direct Labor that is

Direct Labor = \frac{3000}{0.75}

Direct Labor = $4000

and we apply here Total Cost that is

Total Cost = direct material + overhead  + Direct Labor   ..........1

put here value

$9,000  = direct material + $3,000 + $4,000

solve it we get

direct material = $2,000

so correct answer is B. $2,000

inysia [295]

Hello. You forgot to provide the answer options. The options are:

"A) value of all goods and services produced in the economy this year  B) This years prices  C) value of all foods and services produced in the economy this year  D) the base year's prices  E) bought by consumers"

Answer:

The GDP deflator for this year is calculated by dividing the  value of all goods and services produced in the economy this year using this years prices by the value of all foods and services produced in the economy this year using the base year's prices and multiplying by 100. However, the CPI reflects only the prices of all goods and services bought by consumers.

Explanation:

GDP deflator is an economic term that means "implicit price deflator". This term is defined as the price measure for any and all goods and services produced within the country, in the year in question. GDP, in turn, is directly related to this, since it represents the monetary value that each of these goods and services produced during that same year.

The GDP deflator is directly related to the CPI, which is another economic term intended to represent the consumer price index. Through the CPI, the GDP deflator is able to measure the inflation or deflation that occurred in the national economic sector for a given year.

The GDP deflator for this year is calculated by dividing the  value of all goods and services produced in the economy this year using this years prices by the value of all foods and services produced in the economy this year using the base year's prices and multiplying by 100. However, the CPI reflects only the prices of all goods and services bought by consumers.
