Answer:

6.45 and luxury good

Explanation:

The computation of the income elasticity of demand using the mid point formula is shown below:

= (change in quantity demanded ÷ average of quantity demanded) ÷ (percentage change in income ÷ average of income)  

where,  

Change in quantity demanded is

= Q2 - Q1

= 5 - 3

= 2

And, average of quantity demanded is

= (5 + 3) ÷ 2

= 4

Change in income is

= P2 - P1

= $33,500 - $31,000

= $2,500

And, average of price would be

= ($33,500 + $31,000) ÷ 2

= $32,250

So, after solving this, the income elasticity of demand is 6.45 and it represent the luxury good as it is greater than one

Gemiola [76]

Answer: True.

Explanation:

People sometimes have a tendency of doing only what they are told to do or only what they are paid for. This is why most people who progress in a company do so on the basis of having done work that was not in their description, but would have helped the company progress.

It would appear that Marsha's 6 employees are all of the caliber of employees who just do what they are told and nothing more.

For this reason therefore, she would include a stipulation changing the scheme to include careful performance of the other duties before any sales commission can be earned. This way they'll start to do those other things since they are now paid to do so.

Future economic trends are not influenced by economic theories. True or false?
nikklg [1K]
That statement is false.
Economic theories will determine how companies see the market and will somehow affect the decision that they will make for the market.
This decision will influence the future economic trends because these companies usually are really forward thinkers. From this, we could draw a correlation between future economic trends and economic theories

Elanso [62]

Answer:

The correct option is d.

Explanation:

It is given that $15,000 is considered to be material to the income statement, but $25,000 is material to the balance sheet.

Material to the income statement = $15,000

Material to the balance sheet = $25000

The auditor should set overall materiality according to the income statement.

The auditor should set overall materiality at $15,000.

Therefore the correct option is d.
