1 answer:

4 0

Output and input levels always tend to an equilibrium point it the long run, meaning they are inelastic in the long run.

Elasticity refers to how much supply and/or demand changes with changes in pricing. The more elastic, the more change there is.

In the short-term, output and and supply can change dramatically, but in the long run things tend back to the middle (equilibrium).

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

$800,000

Explanation:

Given that;

Sales revenue = $800,000

Cash collected = $645,000

Remaining amount cash collected in January = $155,000

And the delivery of goods is $11,100

Here, since the service revenue earned is $800,000 and same amount would be reported under the income statement, other items given would be ignored.

It therefore means that the sum of $800,000 should be the 2019 income statement report for service revenue.

Under an operating lease: (Select all that apply.)Check All That ApplyThe lessee reports amortization expense and interest expen

Alja [10]

Answer:

The lessee reports a single amount of lease expense, which is equal to interest expense plus amortization expense, in its income statement.

The lessee reports lease expense on a straight-line basis and the lessor reports lease revenue on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Explanation:

An operating lease is basically renting an asset from a lessor where the lessee will pay a certain amount every period for the use of the asset.

This rent payment is equal to the interest expense plus amortization expense and will be reported in the income statement of the lessee as an expense.

This amount will also be reported on a straight-line basis for the duration of the lease term which means that even if rent increases, it will still have to be reported by the same amount over the lease period because the lease increase should have been taken into account already.

The lessor also reports lease revenue on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
