Richard Anderson, an entrepreneur residing in Arizona, noticed that many of his friends and neighbors complained of the intense

heat during the summer months. In order to make the heat more bearable, Anderson developed and marketed a simple cooling system that sprayed a fine mist of water into the air. The system attached easily to patio roofs, backyard fences, and even golf carts. Since introducing the product on the market, Anderson has discovered that relatively large changes in the price of the system lead to relatively small changes in demand for his product. The demand for Anderson's product is:

Answer:

Inelastic

Explanation:

When the price elasticity of demand (PED) is lower than 1, the demand is said to be inelastic. This means that a 1% increase in the price of a good or service will result in a proportionally smaller reduction of the quantity demanded. The formula for calculating price elasticity of demand is:

PED = % of change in quantity / % of change in price

For example, if the price of gasoline increases by 5% but the quantity demanded for gasoline decreases only by 2%, the PED = 2% / 5% = 0.4, therefore the demand for gasoline is inelastic.

Strand company is planning to sell 400 buckets and produce 380 buckets during march. each bucket requires 500 grams of plastic a
Alekssandra [29.7K]
Given the data in the problem, we can calculate the cost of production for each bucket:

one bucket requires:

500 grams of plastic and one-half hour of direct labor. 

The plastic costs $10.00 per 500 grams and the employees are paid $15.00 per hour. 

Therefore, one bucket costs (material and labor):

$10.00 + $15.00 * (1/2 hour) = $17.50 per bucket plus (1.10 * $7.50) = $25.75

for 380 buckets :

$25.75 * 380 = $9785

This value only represents the cost of production of 380 buckets for the month of March. <span />

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

correct option is b. $4,500 long-term capital loss

Explanation:

given data

assets = $50,000

fair market value = $60,000

basis = $65,000

adjusted basis before distribution = $34,500

liquidation in cash = $30,000

to find out

amount and type of loss should Cadwallader recognize on tax return

solution

we know here adjusted basis before distribution and liquidation in cash so we will get here amount and type of loss that is

amount and type of loss = adjusted basis before distribution - liquidation in cash  

amount and type of loss = $34,500 - $30,000

amount and type of loss = $4500  long term loss

so correct option is b. $4,500 long-term capital loss

Victoria has $4000 to put toward consumption this month. She believes there is a 30% chance she will have a bike accident this m
aliina [53]

Answer:

If Victoria purchases insurance, she will have (4000-1200) = $2800 for consumption. Now even if she has an accident, she will not have to incur any medical costs.

So the expected value of Victoria’s consumption should she purchase the insurance cover is $2800.

Expected utility should Victoria purchase insurance will be equal to the total utility as Victoria will surely have 3100 for consumption.

X sells a house to Y for $300,000. Before selling the house, X forgets to tell Y about a leakyfaucet in a little-used sink in th
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

c. Because X's failure to disclose the condition of the faucet is not material.

Explanation:

In order to consider X's failure as material and therefore allowing Y to rescind the contract, the failure to disclose must involve an element of the contract that is in such a bad condition that it would make the contract as "irreparably broken".  

In this case, contract law provides other remedies that Y can use to try to make X pay for the repairs, but Y cannot unilaterally rescind the contract.

Over the past year, productivity grew 2%, capital grew 1%, and labor grew 1%. If the elasticities of output with respect to capi
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

The output growth rate is 3%.

Explanation:

Use the growth accounting equation as follow

ΔA% = ΔY% - αΔK% - βΔL%

Where

∆A = change in productivity = 2%

∆K = growth in capital =

∆L = growth in labor =

α = elasticity of capital = 0.2

β = elasticity of labor = 0.8

∆Y = change in output = ?

Placing values in the formula

2% = ΔY% - ( 0.2 x 1% ) – ( 0.8 x 1% )

2% = ΔY% - 1%

ΔY% = 2% + 1%

ΔY% = 3%

Hence, the output growth rate is 3%.
