(do not round your intermediate computations)a. $150,000; $129,000. b. $530,000; $169,000. c. $482,000; $87,000. d. $150,000; $107,000. e. $680,000; $280,000.

The correct option is c. $482,000; $87,000

Explanation:

For computing the departmental income, the following formula is shown below:

= Sales - cost of good sold - salary expense - rent expense

For Black division,

The department income would be

=  Sales - cost of good sold - salary expense - rent expense

where,

rent expense = black division × (total rent expense ÷ sum of total square feet)

where,

sum of total square feet = black division square feet + navy division square feet

= 28,000 + 42,000

= 70,000 square feet

So, the rent expense for black division would be equal to

= 28,000 × (70,000 ÷ 70,000)

= 28,000

So, the departmental income for black division equal to

= $700,000 - 170,000 - 20,000 - 28,000

= $482,000

For Navy division,

The department income would be

=  Sales - cost of good sold - salary expense - rent expense

where,

rent expense = navy division × (total rent expense ÷ sum of total square feet)

where,

sum of total square feet = navy division square feet + navy division square feet

= 28,000 + 42,000

= 70,000 square feet

So, the rent expense for black division would be equal to

= 42,000 × (70,000 ÷ 70,000)

= 42,000

So, the departmental income for black division equal to

= $320,000 - 151,000 - 40,000 - 42,000

= $87,000

Hence, the departmental income for the Black and Navy Divisions is $482,000 and $87,000 respectively.

Therefore, the correct option is c. $482,000; $87,000

answer: in the short-run firms will respond by raising the price of turkey.

explanation: initially the long-run equilibrium is at a price of $5 per pound of turkey and a quantity of 50 million pounds per year. now, when webmd claims that a protein found in turkey will increase your expected lifespan by 4 years. the consumers demand for turkey will increase at every price shifting the demand curve to the right from d1 to d2. while, there will be no change in the supply curve in the short-run as it is not possible for producers to adjust supply so quickly. as a result the new equilibrium will occur at a higher price and a higher quantity of turkey.

thus, in the short run firms will respond by increasing the price of turkey, selling more quantity at a higher price and earning economic profits.
