Answer:
The correct answer is option a.
Explanation:
Apples and oranges are substitutes. An increase in the price of oranges will cause the demand for apples to increase. This is because people will prefer a cheaper substitute. This increase in the demand for apples will cause its demand curve to shift to the right.
The rightward shift in the demand curve will cause the equilibrium price to increase. But this change in price will not cause a change in demand. The change in price affects only the quantity demanded. Change in demand happens because of a change in other factors.
So, the given statement is not correct.
Answer:
Allowance for uncollectible accounts
Explanation:
This account is a contra asset account which says that the account receivable amount is not collected in near future
It is shown in the asset side of the balance sheet
Assets side
Current Assets
Accounts receivable XXXXX
Less: Allowance for doubtful debts (XXXXX)
Net accounts receivable XXXXX
It is an estimated amount which is not to be paid by the customer in respect to goods delivered to them
The journal entry would be
Bad debt expense A/c Dr XXXXX
To Allowance for uncollectible accounts A/c XXXXX
(Being the uncollected amount is recorded)
Answer:
<u></u>
- <u>1. The slope is negative</u>
- <u>2. The demand decreases when the prices increase.</u>
Explanation:
<em>Describe the slope of the demand curve?</em>
<em>The slope of the demand curve</em> is negative.
The demand curve is graphed on a coordinate plane with the price in the horizontal axis (typically the x-axis) and the demand on the vertical axis (y-axis).
Thus, the slope will be the rate of change of the demand over the change on the price.
Mathematically:

Since, as you move from left to right, on the x-axis, the prices increase, and the demand (on the y-axis) lowers, the change in demand is negative and the change in the prices is positive, resulting in a negative slope.
This is seen graphycally because the demand curve is decreasing (downward-sloping).
<em>How does the slope reflect the law of demand?</em>
The slope reflects perfectly <em>the law of demand</em> because the law of demand states that, since the resources are scarce, when the prices incrases the quantities demanded decrease.
