The basic proposition of the law of demand is that:_____.
a. higher prices cause buyers to demand more.
b. buyers demand lower prices.
c. higher prices cause less demand.
d. as the price of a good decreases, buyers are willing and able to purchase less.
e. as the price of a good increases, buyers are willing and able to purchase less.
In a market economy, there is relationship between the price of a good and the amount of a good that buyers are willing and able to purchase.
Answer:
Explanation: The concept of demand usually deals with the consumers yearning for goods and services and the factors which determines the purchasing decision of consumers and the amount being purchased. Quantity and price are two associated variables which can be used to examine consumer behavior towards a certain product. Hence, demand for a product often refers to the quantity of product purchased or demanded by consumers based on the price of the product.
The demand proposition is simply of the notion that the number of quantity demanded for a certain product falls as the price of such product inversa and vice versa. The demand for a product decreases as its price begins to rise, leading consumers to look for substitute products which cost less.

Oriole Products manufactures two component parts: AJ40 and AJ60. AJ40 components are being introduced currently, and AJ60 parts have been in production for several years. For the upcoming period, 1,500 units of each product are planned for manufacturing. Assume that the only relevant overhead cost is for engineering change orders (any requested changes in product design or the manufacturing process). AJ40 components are expected to require 4 change orders and AJ60 only 2. Each AJ40 requires 1 machine hour, and each AJ60 requires 1.5 machine hours. The cost of a change order is $420.
Required:
Estimate the cost of engineering change orders for AJ40 and AJ60 components if Blue uses a traditional costing method and machine hours as the allocation base.
Answer:
Total allocated cost for AJ40 $189,000
Total allocated cost for AJ60 $283,500
Total $472,500
Explanation:
Calculation to Estimate the cost of engineering change orders for AJ40 and AJ60
First step is to calculate for the Total number of change orders
AJ40 AJ60
Units planned 1,500 1,500
÷No. of change orders 4 2
=Total number of change orders 375 +750=1,125
Second step is to for the Total cost of change order
AJ40 AJ60
Units planned 1,500 1,500
×Machine hours per unit 1 1.5
=Total machine hours required 1,500 + 2,250 =3,750
Third step is to find the Total cost of change order
AJ40 AJ60
Total number of change orders 375 750
× Cost of a change order $420 $420
=Total cost of change order $157,500 $315,00
Total cost of change order=$157,500 +$315,000
=Total cost of change order = $472,500
Now let Estimate the cost of engineering change orders for AJ40 and AJ60 using Traditional system
TRADITIONAL SYSTEM
Total allocated cost for AJ40 $189,000 (472,500*1,500/3,750)
Total allocated cost for AJ60 $283,500 (472,500*2,250/3,750)
Hence,
Total allocated cost for AJ40 $189,000+Total allocated cost for AJ60 $283,500
=$472,500
Slamburger's sells three cheeseburgers for every three regular hamburgers. A cheeseburger sells for $4.75 with a variable cost of $2.00. A regular hamburger sells for $4.25 with a variable cost of $1.75. What is the weighted average contribution margin
Answer:
$2.63
Explanation:
The computation of the weighted average contribution margin is shown below:-
Contribution margin = Selling price - Variable costs
For cheeseburger
= $4.75 - $2.00
= $2.75
For regular hamburger
= $4.25 - $1.75
= $2.5
Weighted average Contribution margin = Respective Contribution margin × Respective mix
= ($2.75 × 3) ÷ 6 + ($2.5 × 3) ÷ 6
= $1.38 + $1.25
= $2.63

Your parts supplier gives you one-quarter of a year to pay for parts ordered today, or offers you a discount if you pay cash at purchase. You have just purchased $94,500 worth of parts from your supplier and the discount is at an annual rate of 10%. How much will you pay for the parts if you pay today
Answer: $92,275
Explanation:
The amount you will pay today is the present value of the purchase price given a 10% discount for a quarter of a year.
= 94,500/ (1 + 10%) ^ 1/4 year
= 92,274.91147

Read the following scenario and answer the question in 5 sentences at least.
You are the president of the American Association of Construction Manufacturers (AACM), a trade association that represents seven hundred companies who build and sell heavy construction equipment. Members have proposed a number of initiatives to advance AACM interests. First, some members want an AACM advocacy group to lobby Congress for relaxing trade barriers on importing raw materials and parts. Second, some of the smaller AACM members want an advertising campaign promoting the importance of the AACM in order to increase small firm membership. Third, some members propose to segregate regions of the United States into sales territories, whereby only certain members have access to certain customers within a geographic area. Fourth, a group of socially conscious AACM firms want its members to boycott a large supplier that sources from nations with poor human rights records. Evaluate the business and legal (antitrust) implications of each of these proposals.
Answer and Explanation:
1. Business implication: if there are no trade barriers, it would enable them get better raw materials for their business and increase customer base
Legal anti trust implication: lobbying is illegal in some countries
2. Business implication: this would attract more manufacturers who were not previously members of the association which would in turn promote the goals of the association in improving trade amongst the manufacturers
Legal anti trust implication: associatio may be exposed to legal examination, example increased regulations
3 business implications:sales territories would invariably create a safe and secure investment for manufacturers such that there is less cost of marketing and campaigning as consumers are guaranteed
Legal implications: this is against anti trust laws and goes against free trade policies and illegal monopoly
4 business implications: boycotting this supplier could create an alternative source of raw materials which wouldn't be as efficient and even cost more
Legal implications: boycotting a large supplier such as this who might have a political backing might bring political retaliations from the supplier's political proxies who might create other regulations in the supplier's favour

Explanation:
You purchased a bond at a price of $13,100. In 15 years when the bond matures, the bond will be worth $30,000. It is exactly 7 years after you purchased the bond and you can sell the bond today for $21,300. If you hold the bond until it matures, what annual rate of return will you earn from today
Answer:
The annual rate of return is 2.10%
Explanation:
The computation of the annual rate of return is shown below:
Let us assume the annual rate of return be K
K is
= {Worth of the bond - selling price of the bond today)^(1 ÷ remaining time period) - 1
= [$30,000 ÷ $21,300]^(1 ÷ 8) - 1
= 2.10%
Hence, the annual rate of return is 2.10%
The same is to be considered
If there are external or spillover benefits associated with consumption and production of a product, it can be said that the:
Answer:
supply curve for the product lies too far to the right to provide an efficient allocation of resources
Explanation:
Please find attached an image of the full question
A good has positive externality if the benefits to third parties not involved in production is greater than the cost. an example of an activity that generates positive externality is research and development. Due to the high cost of R & D, they are usually under-produced. Government can encourage the production of activities that generate positive externality by granting subsidies.
Goods that generate spill over benefits are usually underproduced and the supply curve lies too far to the right to provide an efficient allocation of resources
The CIS Department at Tiny College maintains the Free Access to Current Technology (FACT) library of e-books. FACT is a collection of current technology e-books for use by faculty and students. Agreements with the publishers allow patrons to electronically check out a book, which gives them exclusive access to the book online through the FACT website, but only one patron at a time can have access to a book. A book must have at least one author but can have many. An author must have written at least one book to be included in the system but may have written many. A book may have never been checked out but can be checked out many times by the same patron or different patrons over time. Because all faculty and staff in the department are given accounts at the online library, a patron may have never checked out a book or they may have checked out many books over time. To simplify determining which patron currently has a given book checked out, a redundant relationship between BOOK and PATRON is maintained.

Recall the text’s definition of diminishing marginal utility: "the common pattern that each marginal unit of a good consumed provides less of an addition to utility than the previous unit." The reason for this behavior is because of biology. Our body sends our brains a signal once too much of a good or service has been consumed. This prevents a person from literally eating until they explode. In your own experience, share two times instances where the law of diminishing marginal utility applied to you. Can you think of any time when the law of diminishing marginal utility failed for someone? Please answer in 150 words or more. Use your own words - please do not copy and paste from a web site. Be sure to reference your sources.
Explanation:
Note, the term diminishing marginal utility refers to an economic principle that states that the more unit of a particular commodity or service we consume, the more the satisfaction (utility) derived out of the consumption reduces or diminishes.
For instance, if I watched movies produced by a particular entertainment company for several days (eg Disney Studios), I may become dissatisfied using this particular entertainment provider and may decide to try another service (Netflix).
Another instance could occur after exercising, I'm given 3 bottles of coke, after taking my first bottle, the amount of utility I derive would reduce until I get to the third bottle, at this point I've reached my peak.
The law of diminishing marginal utility failed for someone I know who had used the same type of toothpaste and brushed her teeth at least once a day for a period of over 10 years.
At the end of each of the next four years, a new machine is expected to generate net cash flows of $8,000, $12,000, $10,000, and $15,000, respectively. What are the cash flows worth today if a 3% discount rate is appropriate
Answer:
Total PV= $41,556.88
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cash flows:
1= $8,000
2= $12,000
3= $10,000
4= $15,000
Interest rate= 3%
To calculate the present value, we need to use the following formula on each cash flow:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
PV1= 8,000/1.03= 7,767
PV2= 12,000/1.03^2= 11,311.15
PV3= 10,000/1.03^3= 9,151.42
PV4= 15,000/1.03^4= 13,327.31
Total PV= $41,556.88

Determine whether each statement describes the income effect, the substitution effect, or neither. Assume that all other variables are held constant. The price of lobster doubles, making Henri feel less wealthy. As a result, Henri buys fewer lobsters. The price of chicken falls by $0.75 a pound. Since chicken is now relatively less expensive than ground beef, Mary buys more chicken and less beef. The average price of a DVD falls by 15 percent. Tom buys more DVDs because his monthly movie budget can now stretch further. Model Planes Incorporated reduces production of its wooden plane product line. Jessica sees that the price of orange juice is higher this week. She decides to buy less orange juice and more apple juice because orange juice is relatively more expensive.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
Income effect is when the demand for a particular good or service changes because the real income of the person has changed.
Substitution effect arises when there is a reduction in the sales for a good or service due to a price rise and therefore the consumers have switched to a cheaper alternative. For example, if the price of beef rises, the consumers may shift and purchase more of chicken.
Based on the above scenario, the following will then be:
• The price of lobster doubles, making Henri feel less wealthy. As a result, Henri buys fewer lobsters.
Income effect
Henry's real income has changed, he has more money and hence reduces the purchase for lobsters because he sees it as inferior good.
• The price of chicken falls by $0.75 a pound. Since chicken is now relatively less expensive than ground beef, Mary buys more chicken and less beef.
Substitution effect
Mary has moved to a cheaper alternative in this situation.
• The average price of a DVD falls by 15 percent. Tom buys more DVDs because his monthly movie budget can now stretch further.
Income effect
• Model Planes Incorporated reduces production of its wooden plane product line.
No effect
No effect here as it's neither income effect not substitution effect.
• Jessica sees that the price of orange juice is higher this week. She decides to buy less orange juice and more apple juice because orange juice is relatively more expensive.
Substitution effect
The reduction in the quantity demanded of lobsters describes the income effect.
Mary substituting chicken for ground beef is an example of the substitution effect.
The increase in the quantity demanded of DVDs describes the income effect.
Reduction in the production of wooden plane does not describe the income or substitution effect.
The increase in the demand for orange juice is an example of the substitution effect.
The substitution effect when a change in the price of a good leads consumers to substitute the demand for the good with other goods. If the price of the good increases, consumers buy cheaper substitutes. If the price of the good declines, consumers reduce the consumption of the substitute and increase the demand for that good.
The income effect is when an increase in price lowers consumer's purchasing power, holding money income constant. This would lead to a fall in the quantity demanded of the good. When price decreases, purchasing power increases and consumers demand more of the good.

Copper Company is a publicly held company that has declared a $1.00 per share dividend on September 30 every year for the last 20 years. Just as Darryl had expected, Copper Company declared a $1.00 per share dividend on September 30th, payable on October 15th, to stockholders of record as of October 10. The daughter received the $1,000 dividend on October 18, 2011. How does this information impact who must recognize the dividend as income?a. Darryl must recognize the $1,000 dividend as his income because he knew the dividend would be paid.b. Darryl must recognize $750 of the dividend because he owned the stock for three fourths of the year.c. Darryl must recognize the income of $1,000 because he constructively received the $1,000.d. The daughter must recognize the income because she owned the stock when the dividend was declared and she received the $1,000.e. None of the above
Answer:
d. The daughter must recognize the income because she owned the stock when the dividend was declared and she received the $1,000.
