Answer:
Price gouging is charging unnecessarily high prices for goods if they are in high demand in market. From a sellers perspective its profitable because he/she is able to get more profits on a good and because the goods have a high demand the goods will eventually be sold even on a high price.
From a consumers perspective if the good is a basic need and the consumer is paying high price for it, this can be frustrating but the consumer will have to buy it. If the commodity is not a basic need then the consumer can just stop buying that good and can substitute any other good.

Answer:
TR decreases if Demand is Elastic, TR increases if Demand is Inelastic
Explanation:
Price Elasticity of Demand is the responsive change in price, due to change in price. Elastic demand means demand responds more to price change, Inelastic demand means demand responds less to price change. Total Revenue is the total receipt value from sales = Price x Quantity
- If demand is elastic : price & total revenue are inversely related - price increase, demand decrease & price decrease, demand increase.
- If demand is inelastic : price & total revenue are directly related - price increase, demand increase & price decrease, demand increase
So, If a company increases its sale price per unit of a product :
- Total Revenue would increase as a result of price rise, if demand is Inelastic
- Total Revenue would decrease as a result of price rise, if demand is Elastic
Answer:
$5000
Explanation:
Since Elm City issued a purchase order for supplies with an estimated cost of $5,000, although when the supplies were received, the accompanying invoice indicated an actual price of $4,950, the amount that Elm should credit to encumbrances outstanding in its general fund after the supplies and invoice were received; is $5000
Notice that encumbrances are set aside funds for a purpose, therefore upon ordering, encumbrances balance would increase, and Elm would have passed the following entry
Dr. Encumbrances...$5000
Cr. Fund Balance.....................$5000
Therefore even if the supply came with a shortfall in amount, in order for Elm City to show that the purpose for making that encumbrance has been met, it has to be liquidated by crediting the Encumbrance account by the full amount of $5000
