The demand curve for gasoline slopes downward and the supply curve for gasoline slopes upward. The production of the 200th gallon of gasoline entails the following:
• a private cost of $3.03;
• a social cost of $3.23;
• a value to consumers of $3.39.
Refer to Scenario 10-1. Suppose the equilibrium quantity of gasoline is 220 gallons; that is, Q MARKET = 220. Then the equilibrium price of a gallon could be:________
a. $3.08.
b.$2.77.
c. $2.45.
d. $3.69.
Answer:
a. $3.08
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what the equilibrium price of a gallon could be:
Based on the information given the Private cost is $3.03 while the Social cost is $3.23 which indicates that Social cost lies ABOVE the private cost and since The MARKET EQUILIBRIUM tend to occurs when Private value=Private cost which means that the EQUILIBRIUM PRICE lies between $3.03 and $3.23, Therefore the EQUILIBRIUM PRICE of a gallon would be $3.08 because it lies between $3.03 and $3.23.
Following a decrease in price from $1.90 to $1.50, the weekly demand for a magazine increases from 100,000 to 120,000 copies. The price elasticity of demand for magazines in this range is:
Answer:
0,95
inelastic
Explanation:
0.21
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
Price elasticity of demand = midpoint change in quantity demanded / midpoint change in price
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.
Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one
Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.
Infinitely elastic demand is perfectly elastic demand. Demand falls to zero when price increases
Perfectly inelastic demand is demand where there is no change in the quantity demanded regardless of changes in price.

Should the firms' overseas operations be judged by the standards (legal, economic, cultural, and moral) of the country in which it is operating or should they be judged by the standards of the U.S. market?
Answer: Standards of the country they operate in
Explanation:
Various countries have differing norms on what is legally, socially, morally and culturally acceptable. In order to be able to operate in those countries, companies would have to adapt to these requirements in order to maximize business operations.
It would therefore be illogical to judge these overseas operations in terms of the U.S. market which would be different from them. They should be judged on their own merit and then a standardizing factor can be used to relate them to the U.S. market to see whether they are performing well given their unique circumstances.

During June, Cisco Company produced 12,000 chainsaw blades. The standard quantity of material allowed per unit was 1.5 pounds of steel per blade at a standard cost of $8 per pound. The actual cost was $7 per pound. The actual pounds of steel that Cisco purchased were 19,500 pounds. All materials purchased were used. Calculate Cisco's materials usage variance.
Answer:
Direct material quantity variance= $12,000 unfavorable
Explanation:
To calculate the direct material quantity variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Direct material quantity variance= (1.5*12,000 - 19,500)*8
Direct material quantity variance= (18,000 - 19,500)*8
Direct material quantity variance= $12,000 unfavorable

Juniper Company uses a perpetual inventory system and the gross method of accounting for purchases. The company purchased $9,750 of merchandise on August 7 with terms 1/10, n/30. On August 11, it returned $1,500 worth of merchandise. On August 16, it paid the full amount due. The amount of the cash paid on August 16 equals:___.
A. $8, 167.50.
B. $9, 652.50.
C. $9, 750.00.
D. $8, 250.00.
E. $8, 152.50.
Answer:
A. $8, 167.50
Explanation:
The fact Juniper company returned $1,500 worth of merchandise, means that it is only obliged to pay the amount of $8,250($9,750-$1,500).
However, the payment was made on 16th August, which is the discount period of 10 days, hence, the cash paid on August 16 is computed thus:
cash paid=amount of merchandise owed*(1-discount rate)
discount rate=1%(1% discount if payment is made within 10 days of the purchase date)
cash paid=$8,250*(1-1%)
cash paid=$ 8,167.50

Lãi suất tiền gửi và cho vay của Việt nam hiện tại là bao nhiêu?
Answer:
?????
Explanation:
A TV manufacturing company uses speakers at the rate of 8000/mo. When it places an order for speakers it incurs a fixed cost of $1200. The monthly interest rate for keeping a speaker in stock is assessed at 1%/mo. The cost of the speaker depends on the order size. If less than 1000 speakers are ordered the cost is $11 each. When the order size is between 1000 and 10,000 the cost is $10.50/unit. For order sizes between 10,000 and 30,000 the cost is $10 per unit. For order quantities between 30,000 and 80,000 the cost drops to $9.50. Beyond 80,000 the cost is $9.25. Determine the optimum order size and time between orders if shortages are not allowed.

5. Monthly total cost
a). Cost of material 88000 84000 80000 760000 740000
b). Ordering cost 19200 9600 960 320 120
c). Carrying cost 27.5 52.5 500 1425 3700
Total monthly cost 107227.5 93652.5 81460 77745 77820
Among the total monthly cost, $ 77,745 is the least cost.
Therefore, the optimum order size of quantity = 30,000
The number of orders per month = 8000/30000 = 0.267
Time between two consecutive orders = 30000/8000 = 3.75 months
If there are six firms in an industry and the market shares of the firms are 32 percent, 25 percent, 19 percent, 9 percent, 8 percent and 7 percent, the Herfindahl index is
Answer: 2,204
Explanation:
The Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) shows just how competitive an industry is with a higher HHH meaning that it is not very competitive and a lower one meaning that it is quite competitive.
It is calculated by adding up the squares of the percentage market shares of the firms in the industry of interest:
= 32² + 25² + 19² + 9² + 8² + 7²
= 1,024 + 625 + 361 + 81 + 64 + 49
= 2,204

Why is keeping a journal about what is good and bad regarding your summer or part-time work a good idea to help you choose a career path
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Keeping a journal about what is good and bad regarding my summer or part-time work is a good idea to help me choose a career path because writing down what I like and what I dislike, I can get a pretty close idea of the things I enjoy and have more skills to perform, compared to the things I do not like or I have no abilities at all.
If a clearly identify my skills and abilities in the workplace during the summer, it will be easier for me to identify what could be the profession I love or at least, what I am attracted to.
As it is difficult to remember all the work experience by memory, writing the journal will help me to remember exact dates, specific activities that I enjoyed or were interesting, and what was not.

An American worker is hired by a German consulting firm operating in New York. They pay him $50,000 in wages. The new worker's contribution is to bring a new client to the firm that buys consulting services for $70,000 . Assume no other new cost was involved in this other than the wage. The client is a Mexican firm located in Mexico City. Which of the following is correct
a. National income increases by $50,000 and factor payments to abroad increase by $20,000, so US GDP increases by $70,000
b. Consumption increases by $70,000 and imports increase by $70,000,50 US GDP remains unchanged
c. Consumption increases by $50,000 and exports increase by $20,000, so US GDP increases by $70,000
d. National income increases by $50,000 and factor payments from abroad increase by $50,000, so US GDP remains unchanged
Answer:
a. National income increases by $50,000 and factor payments to abroad increase by $20,000, so US GDP increases by $70,000
Explanation:
The German firm hired an American worker and paid him $50,000. That means that American national income will increase by $50,000.
Since the company is German, that would increase factor payments ot abroad by the difference = $70,000 - $50,000 = $20,000.
Total GDP increases by the amount of $50,000 + $20,000 = $70,000

MC Qu. 116 CWN Company uses a job order costing... CWN Company uses a job order costing system and last period incurred $70,000 of actual overhead and $100,000 of direct labor. CWN estimates that its overhead next period will be $85,000. It also expects to incur $100,000 of direct labor. If CWN bases applied overhead on direct labor cost, its predetermined overhead rate for the next period should be:
Answer:
85%
Explanation:
With regards to the information above, predetermined overhead will be computed as;
Predetermined overhead = (Estimated overhead / Expected labor cost) × 100
Estimated overhead = $85,000
Expected labor cost = $100,000
Then,
Predetermined overhead = ($85,000 / $100,000) × 100
Predetermined overhead = 85%
Therefore, its predetermined overhead rate for the next period should be 85%
Nadal Inc. had two temporary differences at the end of 2013. The first difference stems from installment sales, and the second one results from the accrual of a loss contingency.
