Answer:

B) Factor the receivables outstanding.

Explanation:

Red can sell its accounts receivable to a factoring company. A factoring company buys accounts receivables and then collects them. Of course the price that they pay for the accounts receivable includes a certain discount on the total amount. If Red sells its accounts receivables it must report the factoring expense which reduces the total amount collected of accounts receivables.

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

The best explanation for the need to allocate resources in the game of economics is that:

C) There are not enough resources to produce all of the goods and services that everyone wants.

Market equilibrium Consider the demand function of tofu given by Qd = 150 – 10p + 5pb and the supply function of tofu given by Q
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

a) Qs = 50 + 20p - 7ps

= 50 + 20p - 7×(2)

= 50 + 20p - 14

= 36 + 20p

At equilibrium, Q_{d} = Q_{s}

So, 150 - 10p + 5p_{b} = 36 + 20p

So, 20p + 10p = 30p

= 150 - 36 + 5p_{b}

= 114 + 5p_{b}

So, p = (114/30) + (5/30)p_{b}

= 3.8 + 0.17p_{b}

Thus, p_{e} = 3.8 + 0.17p_{b}

Q = 36 + 20p

= 36 + 20(3.8 + 0.17p_{b})

= 36 + 76 + 3.4p_{b}

= 112 + 3.4p_{b}

Thus, Q_{e} = 112 + 3.4p_{b}

b) p_{e} = 3.8 + 0.17p_{b}

= 3.8 + 0.17×(5)

= 3.8 + .85

= 4.65

Q_{e} = 112 + 3.4_{b}

= 112 + 3.4(5)

= 112 + 17

= 129

c) Qd = 150 - 10p + 5pb = 150 - 10(2.5) + 5(5) = 150 - 25 + 25 = 150

Qs = 36 + 20p = 36 + 20(2.5) = 36 + 50 = 86

Thus, there is excess demand as Q_{d} > Q_{s}

d) New Q_{d}= 180 - 10p + 5p_{b}

= 180 - 10p + 5×(5)

= 180 - 10p + 25

= 205 - 10p

Now, new Q_{d} = Q_{s} gives,

205 - 10p = 36 + 20p

So, 20p + 10p = 205 - 36

So, 30p = 169

So, p = 169÷30

So, p_{e} = 5.63

Q = 205 - 10p = 205 - 10×(5.63) = 205 - 56.3 = 148.7

So, Q_{e} = 148.7

Suppose the price of gasoline decreases from $4.20 to $2.00, and in response quantity demanded increases from 10600 to 11200. Us
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

0.079

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand using midpoint formula can be calculated as follows

Formula

Elasticity of demand = (change in quantity/average quantity)/(change in price/average price)

Calculation

Elasticity of demand = (600/10,900)/(-2.1/3.05)

Elasticity of demand =-0.055 / -0.688

Elasticity of demand =-0.079

working

Change in price (2-4.1) = -2.1  

Average price (2+4.1)/2=3.05

Change in quantity (11,200-10600) = 600

average quantity (11,200+10,600)/2 = 10,900

 

The elasticity of demand is inelastic as the elasticity is below 1.
