Answer:
Buy 7% less houses
Explanation:
Income elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in income
Income elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded/ percentage change in income
1.40 = percentage change in quantity demanded/ 5%
Percentage change in quantity demanded = 1.4 × 5% = 7%
Because the coefficient of elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is income elastic. This means quantity demanded is responsive to changes in income. A fall in income would reduce the quantity demanded.

Answer:
It will increase expense, thereby reducing the profit mentioned in the income statement and decrease the current asset (debtor) recorded in the balance sheet.
Explanation:
Bad Debt is an expense that is recorded when it is expected that the customer, who owes a debt to the business, might default in clearing their dues.
As such when the bad debt amount is increased it will result in a rise in expense and therefore the profit, as stated in the profit and loss (income statement) of the sole trader would decrease.
Moreover, it will also decrease the value of trade receivables (current assets) mentioned in the balance sheet. The following entry would be recorded:
Bad Debts (Dr) xxxxx
Trade Receivables (Cr) xxxxxx
Hence, the expenses will increase while the current asset will decrease.
Answer:
Uncertainty over Reliable and Unreliable Product
a. Given this uncertainty, the most this consumer will pay to purchase one unit of this product is $25
b. The amount that this consumer will be willing to pay for the product if the firm offering the reliable product includes a warranty that will protect the consumer is $50.
c. This is because the stated maximum amount that the consumer is willing to pay for the reliable product is $50. She is not prepared to spend more than this amount on the reliable product.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Unreliable Reliable
Maximum amount the consumer will pay $0 $50
Probability of reliability 0.5 0.5
Expected amount to pay for either product $0 $25 ($50 * 0.5)
a. Given this uncertainty, the most this consumer will pay to purchase one unit of this product is $25 ($0 + $25)
