Answer: Option (c) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Price elasticity of demand = 0.5

Percentage increase in price = 8%

Price elasticity of demand = \frac{Percentage\ change\ in\ quantity\ demanded}{Percentage\ change\ in\ price}

0.5 =  \frac{Percentage\ change\ in\ quantity\ demanded}{8}

Percentage change in quantity demanded = 0.5 × 8

                                                                       = 4%

Therefore, if the price rises by 8% then as a result quantity demanded decreases by 4%.

A/R                                                               $20,100

Less: Allowance for doubtful accounts         ($1,700)

net realizable value of A/R                             $18,400
