Veterinarians generally derive some of their income from selling several manufacturers' lines of pet-care products. Knowing that pet owners rarely throw away mail from their pet's veterinarian unread, one manufacturer of pet-care products offered free promotional materials on its products to veterinarians for mailing to their clients. Very few veterinarians accepted the offer, however, even though the manufacturer's products are of high quality.
Which of the following, if true, most helps to explain the veterinarian's reaction to the manufacturer's promotional scheme?
(A) Most of the veterinarians to whom the free promotional materials were offered were already selling the manufacturer's pet-care products to their clients.
(B) The special promotional materials were intended as a supplement to the manufacturer's usual promotional activities rather than as a replacement for them.
(C) The manufacturer's products, unlike most equally good competing products sold by veterinarians, are also available in pet stores and in supermarkets.
(D) Many pet owners have begun demanding quality in products they buy for their pets that is as high as that in products they buy for themselves.
(E) Veterinarians sometimes recommend that pet owners use products formulated for people when no suitable product specially formulated for animals is available.
Answer:
(C) The manufacturer's products, unlike most equally good competing products sold by veterinarians, are also available in pet stores and in supermarkets.
Explanation:
Only option (C) explains why very few veterinarians accepted the offer. If the manufacturer offers free promotional materials to all veterinarians clients and all this material is available at other supermarkets and malls their will be good probability that clients will go directly to supermarkets and malls reducing income of veterinarians.

Assume the current equilibrium level of income is $200 billion as compared to the full-employment income level of $240 billion. If the MPC is 0.625, what change in aggregate expenditures is needed to achieve full employment?
Answer:
increase the aggregate expenditure to $15 billion ($40-$25)
to achieve full employment.
Explanation:
Note:
If change in aggregate expenditures is equal to change in aggregate income then MPC=1.
Formula for MPC:
MPC=Change in Consumption or expenditure/ Change in Income
Given MPC=0.62
0.625=Change in Consumption or expenditure/ (240-200)
Change in Consumption or expenditure=[tex]0.625 * 40\\[/tex]
Change in Consumption or expenditure=$ 25 billion
Since the change in income is $40 billion($240-$200) and Change in aggregate expenditure we calculated above is $25 billion so we need to increase the aggregate expenditure to $15 billion ($40-$25)
to achieve full employment i.e to make MPC to 1.

The impact of inflation places ______________ and risk in the savings and borrowing relationships.
a) guacamole (the possibility that you may end up with green spots on your shirt)
b) mayonnaise (the possibility that you may end up with white spots on your chin)
c) uncertainty (the possibility that benefits may be less than expected)
d) none of the above
Answer:
The correct answer is the option C: uncertainty (the possibility that benefits may be less than expected).
Explanation:
To begin with, the concept of inflation refers to the sustained increase in the general price level of goods and services produced inside an economy and therefore consequently a reduction in the purchasing power per unit of money.
Secondly, it is understandable that the inflation causes that the uncertainess and riskness both take places in the saving and borrowing relationships due to the fact that the price that products and services will have in the future are not determinated and will probably increase in an unexpected way and therefore causing that benefits may be less than expected as well too.
Ceteris paribus, if the price of Pepsi increases, the equilibrium price of Coca-Cola will ________ and the equilibrium quantity of Coca-Cola will ________.
Answer:
Rise
Rise
Explanation:
Pepsi and Coca cola are considered substitutes. If the price of Pepsi increases, consumers would begin to consume more coca cola and the demand for coca cola would increase. This would lead to an excess of demand for coca cola over supply and prices would rise.
I hope my answer helps you
Final answer:
Ceteris paribus, if the price of Pepsi increases the equilibrium price of Coca-Cola will increase, and the equilibrium quantity of Coca-Cola will increase as well.
Explanation:
Ceteris paribus, if the price of Pepsi increases, we can expect a substitution effect where consumers switch their preference to a similar but cheaper alternative like Coca-Cola. Assuming Pepsi and Coca-Cola are close substitutes, the equilibrium price of Coca-Cola will increase, and the equilibrium quantity of Coca-Cola will increase as well.
This is because the demand for Coca-Cola will rise as consumers look for a substitute for the more expensive Pepsi. The market for Coca-Cola adjusts to this higher demand by increasing the price and the quantity supplied to reach a new equilibrium.

Firms must always consider the high costs of producing at a lower volume and factor this in their budgets and pricing decisions.
All the other options are fall as Price skimming sets higher prices and makes entry difficult furthermore usually, introductory products are at a lower price to attract customers. This nullifies Option A and B.
Option D is nullified as innovative products usually commands higher prices called skimming.
Option E is conditional may be true in some cases but not always, higher prices simply discourage the demand without any legal action necessary most of the times.
Hope that helps.

Bulldog, Inc. has budgeted sales for the first quarter of the next year to be 35,000 units. The inventory on hand at the beginning of quarter is 5,000 units. The desired ending inventory is 3,000 units. Calculate the budgeted production for the first quarter.
A. 2,000 units
B. 42,000 units
C. 32,000 units
D. 30,000 units .
The budgeted production for the first quarter is 32,000 units. This is calculated by adding the budgeted sales (35,000 units) to the desired ending inventory (3,000 units) and subtracting the beginning inventory (5,000 units). Option C is correct.
To calculate the budgeted production for the first quarter, we need to consider the desired ending inventory.
[tex]\[ \text{Budgeted Production} = \text{Budgeted Sales} + \text{Desired Ending Inventory} - \text{Beginning Inventory} \][/tex]
- Budgeted Sales = 35,000 units
- Beginning Inventory = 5,000 units
- Desired Ending Inventory = 3,000 units
Substitute these values into the formula:
Budgeted Production = 35,000 + 3,000 - 5,000
Budgeted Production = 33,000
Therefore, the correct answer is:
C. 32,000 units
Lifeworks is a nongovernment not-for-profit organization that recently received a large gift from a donor in the amount of $3,000,000 in cash. The donor wishes to leave a legacy and therefore specified that Lifeworks cannot spend the $3,000,000 but can invest the $3,000,000 and use any earnings from the investments to support the organization. In the first year, $100,000 was earned but has not yet been spent. How would the $3,000,000 gift and the $100,000 in earnings impact the net assets of Lifeworks?
Answer:
Explanation:
The net assets would increase. This is because the $100,000 earnings from investments are additional cash inflows hence an increase in current assets. For the $3,000,000 if invested, it will be considered an asset. It is a cash donation invested to generate earnings for the non-profit organization. Thus, these two instances add onto the net asset value of Lifeworks.
Assume there is an increase in the number of consumers in the market for a good sold by perfectly competitive firms that are initially producing the profit-maximizing level of output. For the individual firm, this would result in:a. a decrease in price and increase in the profit-maximizing quantity of output.b. an increase in both price and the profit-maximizing quantity of output.c. an increase in price and decrease in profit-maximizing quantity of output.d. a decrease in both price and the profit-maximizing quantity of output.
Answer:
Option (B) is correct.
Explanation:
Number of consumers in the market is one of the determinants of demand which shifts the demand curve.
In a perfectly competitive market, if there is an increase in the number of consumers in the market then as a result the demand for the product also increases which shifts the demand curve rightwards.
This rightward shift in the demand curve will result in an increase in both equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity which is also a profit maximizing quantity of output.
Natalie wants to make a 25% profit on her $70,000 land investment (there is no mortgage). She figures agents charge a 6% commission, and that closing costs will be an additional $1,200. What should she accept as a final sale price (to the nearest hundred)?
Natalie wants to make a 25% profit on a $70000 sale. That would be:
(125 ÷ 100) × 70000 = $87500.
Natalie wants to make $87500. But the agent would charge a 6% for the sale, Natalie will add a 6% to the $87500, that would be:
(106 ÷ 100) * 87500 = $92750.
On this $92750, there's a closing cost of $1200,
Add $92750 + $1200 = $93950.
$93950 to the nearest hundred will be $94000.
Natalie should make the final sale price $94000 in order to make a profit of %25.
Answer:
Final sale price = $94000
Explanation:
Price of investment = $70000
Profit accrued on investment = 1.25 * $70000= 87500
Agent commission= 6%
Agent commission = .06 * 87500
= $5250
Additional fee = 1200
Final sale price = $87500 +1200 + 5250 =93950 =$94000(nearest hundred)
The Hackman's home is valued at $650,000. Properties in their area are assessed at 60% of the value, and the local tax rate is $2.85 per one hundred dollars of assessed value. How much are the Hackman's MONTHLY taxes?
Answer:
$926.25
Explanation:
First, we obtain the assessed value:
$650,000 * 60% = $390,000
Now, we obtain the benchmark for determining the yearly tax. We divide the assessed value by one hundred because the local tax rate is $2.85 per one hundred dollars of assessed value. In other words, one hundred dollars is the benchmark:
$390,000 / 100 = $3,900
Now, to find the total tax paid in a year we simply multiply the local tax rate by the benchmark:
$2.85 x 3,900 = $11,115
Finally, we divided the yearly value by twelve to obtain the monthly value:
$11,115 / 12 = $926.25
Final answer:
The Hackman's' monthly property taxes are $926.25.
Explanation:
To calculate the Hackman's' monthly property taxes, first determine the assessed value of the home by multiplying the home's value by the assessment rate. Then, calculate the annual taxes by applying the local tax rate to the assessed value. Finally, divide the annual taxes by 12 to find the monthly taxes.
The assessed value is 60% of the home's value:
$650,000 x 0.60 = $390,000.
The annual tax is then calculated by the tax rate per hundred dollars of assessed value:
$390,000 / 100 = 3,900 (hundreds of dollars);
3,900 x $2.85 = $11,115 (annual taxes).
To find the monthly taxes, divide by 12:
$11,115 / 12 = $926.25.
Therefore, the Hackman's' monthly property taxes are $926.25.

The voting paradox suggests that the "voting market," as represented by elections,
A) Leads to a superior outcome in representing consumer preferences compared to the private market for goods and services.
B) May often lead to an inefficient outcome in representing consumer preferences compared to the private market for goods and services.
C) Is no different from the private market for goods and services in terms of representing consumer preferences.
D) May not lead to an efficient outcome but certainly leads to a more equitable outcome in terms of distributing goods and services.
Answer:
B) May often lead to an inefficient outcome in representing consumer preferences compared to the private market for goods and services.
Explanation:
By definition the "Condorcet paradox (or th voting paradox) in social is a situation noted by the Marquis de Condorcet in the late 18th century, in which collective preferences can be cyclic, even if the preferences of individual voters are not cyclic". And that can be extrapolated to Business since the people tend to change their preferences in a cyclic process.
A) Leads to a superior outcome in representing consumer preferences compared to the private market for goods and services.
False the paradox is not about the comparison between consumer and private market.
B) May often lead to an inefficient outcome in representing consumer preferences compared to the private market for goods and services.
Correct duee to the cyclic change we will have an inefficient outcome in order to describe the consumer preferences in all the markets.
C) Is no different from the private market for goods and services in terms of representing consumer preferences.
That's FALSE the private market have own characteristics and typical patterns associated to the consumer preferences.
D) May not lead to an efficient outcome but certainly leads to a more equitable outcome in terms of distributing goods and services.
We can't ensure that we will have more equitable outcome since the the paradox not ansure this, but we can say that we will have an ineffcient outcome since the preferences will change.

Ace company's inventory was destroyed by fire. Their records show net sales of $90,000, beginning inventory of $20,000, net purchases of $75,000 and a gross profit rate of 30%. What is the estimated value of the ending inventory?
Answer:
$32,000
Explanation:
Gross profit = (sales - cost of sales)/sales
30% = ($90000-Cost of sale)/$90000
cost of sale = $63000
Closing inventory = (opening inventory + purchases) - cost of sale
closing inventory = (20000 + 75000) - 63000
A primary reason that a firm would use average-cost pricing is that it
A primary reason that a firm would use average-cost pricing is that it helps in making decisions about production output and purchasing during short run period.
