Answer:

b) the method to reduce costs of producing automobile glass, but not the formula for the substance that prevents smudging.

Explanation:

As provided, the professor develops a way which shall reduce the cost of producing the automobile glass, which apparently is very easy for anyone to copy and use.

Whereas, when a company develops the formula which creates a substance that prevents the automobile glass from getting smudged is again a technological knowledge although not that common.

Since the first one is apparently easy and other is patented which means both are common else not so common idea will not need patent as people would not be able to create such formula.

A mass transit authority charges bus fares of $1.25 during morning rush hours but only $1.00 during late morning non-rush hours.
amm1812

Answer:

The correct answer is more inelastic; more elastic.

Explanation:

Inelastic demand is that demand that is not very sensitive to a change in price. In this way, before a variation in the price the quantity demanded reacts in a less than proportional way. For example, if the price increases by 10% and in response the quantity demanded is reduced by less than 10%, then the demand is said to be inelastic.

The elasticity of demand, also known as the elasticity-price of demand, is defined as the percentage change of the quantity demanded before a percentage change in the price.

An elastic demand is that demand that is sensitive to a change in price. In this way, a small variation in the price causes a more than proportional change in the quantity demanded. Thus, for example, if the price increases by 10% and in response the quantity demanded is reduced by more than 10%, then the demand is said to be elastic.

The Walden Manufacturing Corp. has office support salaries of $4,000, factory supplies of $1,000, indirect labor of $6,000, dire
Sedbober [7]

Answer: <em>Total Period Cost = $20,500</em>

Explanation:

Given :

Salary = $4000

Factory supply = $1000

Indirect labor = $6000

Direct material = $16000

Advertising expense = $2500

Office expense = $14000

Direct labor = $20000

Period costs are the costs incurring that do not tend to be a section of manufacturing process. Therefore, we compute the Period Cost using the following formula:

<em> Period costs = Salary + Advertising expense + Office expense </em>

<em> = $4,000 + $2,500 + $14,000 </em>

<em> = $20,500</em>
