Answer: George's initial price markup over marginal cost was approximately 41.2% George's desired markup is 45% Since George's initial markup, or actual margin, was Less than his desired margin, raising the price was profitable
Explanation:
a) Price Elasticity of Demand = [(Q1-Q2)/(Q1+Q2)] / [(P1-P2)/(P1+P2)]
= 5000- 4000/4000+ 5000) / 8.50- 9.50 /8.50 ₊9.50 =
1000/8000 / -1/ 18 = 0.125/-0.055 = -2.2
George's initial price markup over marginal cost was approximately
when Marginal cost = $5
b)initial price markup = Price - marginal cost / price = 8.50 - 5.00/ 8.50 = 0.412= 41.2%
C) George's desired margin = 1/absolute value of price elasticity = 1/ 2.2= 0.45= 45%
.
D)Since George's initial markup or actual margin was less than his desired margin, raising the price is profitable.
This is because When the markup is lower than the margin, business is running on a loss, so it is nessesary to increase price.
The price elasticity of demand for George's T-shirts is approximately -1.7, indicating that demand is elastic. The initial markup over the cost price was 70%, but the question doesn't specify the desired markup or if raising the price satisfied that margin.
The price elasticity of demand measures how sensitive the quantity demanded is to a price change. It's calculated as the percentage change in quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in price. In George's case:
So, the percentage change in quantity = (4000-5000)/5000 = -20% and percentage change in price = ($9.50-$8.50)/$8.50 = 11.76%. Therefore, price elasticity of demand = -20%/11.76% = -1.7 (approx.). This indicates that the demand is elastic, meaning quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.
Regarding the price markup, this is the percentage increase over the cost price. The initial markup = ($8.50-$5)/$5 = 70%. The question didn't specify the desired markup, or if raising the price satisfied the desired margin.

b. Some hamburgers that are valued more highly by consumers than their opportunity cost of production are not being produced and sold
c. Some hamburgers produced incur opportunity costs of production that exceed their value or marginal benefit to consumers.
Which of the following must be true for a market to be able to achieve an efficient outcome?
a. The market price is determined solely by the forces of supply of and demand for a good.
b. Firms can freely enter or exit the market without any barriers.
c. Private property rights are well-defined and enforced.
Answer:
a. The opportunity cost of producing the last hamburger equals the marginal benefit of consumption.
2. a. The market price is determined solely by the forces of supply of and demand for a good.
Explanation:
1. Since all the hamburgers are sold at an equilibrium price of $5 and all the hamburgers are sold, that is clear reflection that the opportunity cost that is the benefit foregone in order to produce the last hamburger = the maximum price that the consumer can pay for buying the additional hamburger, that is marginal benefit.
In that case the producer shall always produce the additional hamburger.
Accordingly the outcome in market is economically efficient.
2. When the price is determined by the forces of supply and demand, that is at a point where the intersection of supply and demand forces takes place, it is the most efficient outcome, as at that price maximum consumers are ready to buy, and also maximum supplies are ready to be done, both are satisfied at their levels.
Answer:
10.20%
Explanation:
In this question, we apply the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) formula which is shown below
Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)
where.
The Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return) is also known as the market risk premium and the same is applied.
So, the market risk premium would be
= Average annual return - average annual t-bill yield
= 15.8% - 5.6%
= 10.20%

The estimated ending inventory for Cullumber’s Boutique using the conventional retail inventory method is approximately $15,171. This is calculated by adjusting the beginning inventory at retail price, computing the cost-to-retail ratio, and applying it to the ending inventory at the retail price.
To compute the ending inventory using the conventional retail inventory method, we first need to adjust the beginning and ending inventory to account for the markups, markdowns, and returns.
Firstly, we calculate the adjusted beginning inventory by taking the beginning inventory at the retail price and subtracting markdowns, markdown cancellations, and adding markups and markup cancellations:
Next, we add the net purchases at the retail price to the adjusted beginning inventory to determine the Goods Available for Sale at retail price:
Afterward, we subtract the sales and sales returns at retail price to get the ending inventory at the retail price:
Lastly, to convert the ending inventory from retail price to cost, we use the cost-to-retail ratio:
The estimated ending inventory at cost using the conventional retail inventory method is approximately $15,171.

The journal entries are shown below:
On July 15:
Purchase A/c Dr $97,020
To Accounts payable $97,020
(By buying goods on credit with discount), the following are shown in the estimates of tire sales following application of the discount:
= Number of tires × price per tire - discount rate
= 2,200 tires × $45 - 2%
= $99,000 - $1,980
= $97,020
On July 23:

Answer: The stated purpose of the food administration during the great war was to reduce food consumption by civilians (B)
Explanation:
The U. S. Food Administration was the department responsible for the administration of the United States army abroad and food reserves of its allies during the World War 1. An important role of the United States Food Administration was the regulation of the price of wheat in the market.
During the war, the United States was short of commodities because the commodities were sold to their allies hence, every citizen were asked to donate horses, weapons and ammunition they had to help supply the army. It was done so that food for soldiers wouldn't be an issue.
Answer: D
It collected food donations to be sent to soldiers in Europe
Explanation:
On August, 1917 almost immediately after US joined the World War I, the US food administration was set up to manage wartime supply of food. A voluntary program was set up where Americans were encouraged to donate foods to US troops and its allies by modifying their eating habits and also reducing their consumption levels.
Answer:
L. Lyons Company
Correct Journal Entry
Debit L.Lyons, Drawings $100
Credit Cash $100
To record the cash withdrawn by L. Lyons for personal use.
Explanation:
When the owner, L. Lyons, withdraws cash for personal use, it reduces the owner's equity interest in the business. Cash as an asset is also reduced by the same amount. Therefore, the double entry should be a debit to the Owner's Capital account (here represented by Drawings) and a credit to the Cash account.
L. Lyons withdrawal of $100 would be treated as an owner's draw, reflecting a decrease in the company's assets. A journal entry would debit the owner's draw account and credit the cash/bank account.
When L. Lyons withdrew $100 for personal use, this would have been treated as an owner's draw and should be reflected in the financial records of the business. A correct journal entry would involve debiting the owner's draw account and crediting the cash or bank account. Why? The money is going out of the business (hence a decrease in the company's assets), and it's going towards the owner, so it's an owner's draw. So, the journal entry would look as follows:
