Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": more inelastic.

Explanation:

When its price changes, the supply, and demand for an inelastic good or service are not dramatically impacted. Whether the price of an inelastic product goes up or down, the buying habits of consumers remain roughly the same. <em>Prescription drugs, food, clothing, </em>and <em>gasoline</em> are common examples of inelastic goods.

Thus, <em>if the price of gasoline doubles tonight, that price would be considered more inelastic tomorrow compared to the current price until today than comparing the doubled price during the course of the upcoming two years</em>.

Giant Ltd acquired 80 percent share capital of Expert Ltd. On 1 July 2018 for a cost of $1,600,000. As at the date of acquisitio
sweet [91]

Answer and Explanation:

1. For computation of the non-controlling interest as at 30 June 2019 is shown below:-

Adjusted profit = Profit tax after the year - Unrealized gain in stock - Gain on machinery

= $200,000 - $10,500 - $10,500

= $179,000

Non-controlling interest as at 30 June 2019 = Share capital + Retained earning + General reserve + Profit of the year June 2019

= ($800,000 × 20%) + ($200,000 × 20%) + ($400,000 × 20%) + ($179,000 × 20%)

= $160,000 + $40,000 + $80,000 + $35,800

= $315,800

2. The Journal entries are shown below:-

a. Profit for the year Dr, $21,000

         To Stock reserves $10,500

         To Equipment reserve $10,500

(Being reserves is recorded)

Working note:

For stock reserve

Sale price $120,000

Profit before tax $60,000

Tax at 30% $18,000

Profit after tax $42,000

Unsold stock 25%

Unrealized profit $10,500

For net gain on sale of machinery

Sale price $80,000

Cost $60,000

Profit before tax $20,000

Tax at 30% $6,000

Profit after tax $14,000

Unsold stock 75% (3 years from 4 years)

Unrealized profit $10,500

b. Profit for the year Dr, $179,000

         To Consolidated reserves and surplus $35,800

          To Non controlling interest $143,200

(Being profit of expert ltd. is recorded)

Working note

Share of non controlling stakeholders = 20% × $179,000

= $35,800

Share of Giant Ltd. = 80% × $179,000

= $143,200

A ticket reseller purchases a ticket to a football game for $40 and offers it for sale at a price of $75. A consumer is willing
Burka [1]

Answer:

profit + consumer surplus.

Explanation:

The profit obtained by the reseller is given by the difference between the amount received on sale ($75) and the purchase price ($40). The consumer surplus is determined as the difference between the willingness to pay ($90) and the actual amount paid ($75). Therefore, the difference between $90 and $40 is the profit plus the consumer surplus.

Angus Company agreed to sell goods for Longhorn Company on consignment, but wasn't willing to take ownership of the goods in cas
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer: D. Longhorn owns the inventory and should report it on its balance sheet.

Explanation:

Goods to be sold on consignment for a company means a company is selling goods for another company and will be paid for their services.

In that case, the company being sold for will retain the ownership of the goods because the company that is selling it for them is simply providing a service.

Angus in this scenario are simply holding the goods to sell it and so do not own the goods. Longhorn should therefore record it in their own books as inventory.
