Answer:

Demand is Inelastic

Jack : Substitution Effect dominates

Becky : Buy fewer hiking boots

Explanation:

Elasticity of Demand is responsive change in demand due to change in price. Demand is : Elastic - When proportionate change (% change) in demand > proportionate (% change) in price and Inelastic - When proportionate change  (% change) in demand < proportionate change (% change) in price .

So, If price rise by 12% & demand decreases by 10% , Demand is Inelastic.

a. Substitution Effect is consumer's shift from dearer to cheaper goods & so,  rise in demand of falling prices good , fall in demand of rising prices good . Jake buying lesser T shirts (relatively expensive) when price of Donuts fall (relatively cheaper) means Substitution Effect dominates for him.

b. Income Effect is price - demand inverse relationship, by change in real purchasing power due to price change. Price rise reduces real purchasing power, decreases demand & price fall increases real purchasing power, increases demand. Becky's paint brush price rise reduces her real purchasing power & she consumes less of both paintbrushes & hiking boots.

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

A detailed list of the accounts that make up the five financial statement elements.

Explanation:

The company's chart of accounts is the listing of all the accounts that the company has included as part of the five financial statement elements during a specific period of time.

The five financial statement elements are: assets, liabilities, equity (part of the balance sheet), expenses and revenues (part of the income statement).

Examples of accounts that can be part of a firm's chart of accounts are: land (asset), cash (asset), notes payable (liabilities), outstanding stock (equity), operating expenses (expenses), and sales revenue (revenues).

The chart of accounts can differ greatly from company to company simply because companies engage in vastly different economic activities.

abruzzese [7]

The variable cost is calculated as -

Sales - Variable cost = Contribution Margin

Given, Contribution Margin = 25 %

Variable cost = 1 - Contribution Margin = 1 - 25 % = 75 %

25 % of Sales = Contribution Margin = $ 400,000

Sales = $ 400,000 ÷ 25 %

Sales = $ 1,600,000

Variable costs = 75% of Sales = 75 % × $ 1,600,000 = $ 1,200,000
