Answer:
2.2
Explanation:
The formula for calculating price elasticity using the midpoint method is:
midpoint method = {(Q2 - Q1) / [(Q2 + Q1) / 2]} / {(P2 - P1) / [(P2 + P1) / 2]}
midpoint method = {(150 - 100) / [(150 + 100) / 2]} / {(1.20 - 1) / [(1.20 + 1) / 2]}
midpoint method = [50 / (250 / 2)] / [0.20 / (2.20 / 2)] = (50 / 125) / (0.20 / 1.1)
midpoint method = 0.4 / 0.19 = 2.2
The advantage of using the midpoint method to calculate price elasticity is that we can calculate the price elasticity between two points, and it doesn't matter if the price increases or decreases.
If we calculate price elasticity using the single point formula:
price elasticity = % change in quantity supplied / % change in price = 50% / 20% = 2.5
Answer:
Cost of goods sold to be reported in consolidated financial statement = $1,000,000
Explanation:
Whenever there is 100% or more than 50% holding in a company, then equity method is followed under which all of the items are to be consolidated, but in case where there are inter transfers that is transfer from holding to subsidiary or vice-versa then such transactions, profit not realized is to be eliminated.
In case where inventory is transferred to subsidiary after adding profit by holding company, then in case if that inventory is sold to third party by year end then entire profit is recognized even the profit added by holding to cost of goods sold to subsidiary.
Where in case such inventory is not sold further by subsidiary to third party and is still held in the stock then such profit added on sale by holding to subsidiary is eliminated.
In our case the entire inventory is sold to third party by the year end.
Therefore, entire profit will be recognized and cost of goods sold to be shown in consolidated financial statements = $600,000 + $400,000 = $1,000,000.
Answer:
2400
Explanation:
The HHI is calculated by squaring the market share of each firm in the industry.
30² + 25² + 25² + 15² + 5² = 2400
Answer:
Expense must be recognized in July
Explanation:
The reason is that the expense must be recognized in the month in which the supplies are used because the accrual concept says that the expenses must be realized when they are incurred. Incurred means that the consideration received has been used. For example if I pay the telecommunication network in June to give 4G internet and the services are delivered in the month July then the expenses will be realized in the month in which the services were used and that is July for internet facilities. So in this case the supplies are used in the month of July which is in-accordance with the accrual concept.
