How are the price and quantity of goat cheese affected? The price of goat cheese is expected to increase due to a decrease in production, while the quantity cannot be determined based on the information given.

Answer: Prices go up, but the impact on quantity remains indeterminate.

Explanation: The disease outbreak results in a reduced goat population, subsequently decreasing the supply of goat cheese at the current price level. This reduction in supply leads to a leftward shift in the supply curve, causing goat cheese prices to rise.

However, without information on demand changes, the effect on quantity remains inconclusive.

Thus, we can conclude that the price of goat cheese will increase while the quantity adjustment cannot be specified.

soldi70 [3439]

Answer:

E. efficiency wages

Explanation:

This situation does not represent discrimination, as Rob has a solid history with the company (15 years). Even though their productivity levels might seem comparable, Rob’s extensive experience warrants the higher compensation.

This exemplifies the efficiency wage hypothesis, which posits that higher salaries can enhance employee productivity. Consequently, this creates an incentive for Rob to remain with the company.

Ali had previously calculated the Economic Order Quantity required to efficiently control costs at his company. His calculations
Mariulka [3449]

Answer:

The Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) is developed based on the premise that demand, ordering, and holding costs remain constant. Therefore, if any of these core assumptions shift, this could lead to discrepancies between theory and actual spending, which might explain Ali's situation.

Explanation:

The Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) defines the optimal order size that minimizes the total expenses associated with ordering, receiving, and stocking inventory.

The formula for Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) is: EOQ = sqrt of 2DS/H

where:

D= Demand in units

S= Ordering costs per order

H= Holding cost per unit over time

arsen [3236]
The following journal entry is detailed below: Cash A/c Dr $4,100, Equipment A/c Dr $23,000, Furniture A/c Dr $47,000, To Account payable $16,000, and To Rodriguez's Capital $58,100. This entry reflects that all adjustments have been recorded, with the remaining balance credited to Rodriguez's Capital. The calculation for the remaining balance is as follows: Cash A/c + Equipment A/c + Furniture A/c - Accounts payable = $4,100 + $23,000 + $47,000 - $16,000 equals $58,100.

Less: Variable expenses            $ 1,300,000                            65

                                                    --------------------

Contribution margin                       $700,000                            

Less: Fixed expenses                   $560,000                            28

                                                    ---------------------

Net income                                       $140,000                            7

2.Revenue declines by 30 percent

Revenue                                     $ 1,400,000   (2,000,000×70÷100)                  

Less: Variable expenses               $910,000   ( 1,300,000 ×70÷100)                                                                                  

                                                   ---------------------

Contribution margin                       $490,000     ( 700,000 ×70÷100)              

Less: Fixed expenses                   $392,000     ( 5,60,000 ×70÷100)                      

                                                    ---------------------

Net income                                       $98,000     ( 140,000 ×70÷100))      

3.Operating leverage factor when revenue is $2,000,000    

       Operating leverage =    Contribution/ Net income

                                             =700,000÷ 140,000=5

4.Operating leverage factor when increase in revenue by 25 percent  

increase in revenue by 25 percent= 2,000,000×25÷100 = 500,000

increase in contribution by 25 percent= 700,000×25÷100=175,000

increase in net income by 25 percent  =140,000×25÷100=35,000                                                  

       Operating leverage =    Contribution/ Net income

                                         = 875,000 ÷ 175,000 = 5
