Price elasticity of demand is defined by Change in Quantity demanded / Change in Price. 

Tom ordered 10 gallons of gas without asking about the price. This means that no matter the price, Tom orders the same quantity of gas (quantity demanded does not change with price). His demand is perfectly inelastic, or 0. 

Jerry orders $10 worth of gas. This means that no matter how much it gives him, Jerry will pay $10. The price elasticity of demand depends on how much the price changes by.
For example, if price doubles from $5/gal to $10/gal, demand falls by 50% (2 gallons to 1 gallon), making his price elasticity -0.5
If the price increase 10% from $10/gal to $10.10/gal, demand falls 1% from 1 gal to .99 gallons, making his price elasticity -0.1

Glasgow Enterprises started the period with 80 units in beginning inventory that cost $7.50 each. During the period, the company
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

The cost of ending inventory is $2340

Explanation:

Under the weighted average method of inventory valuation, we value the ending inventory based on the weighted average of all the available inventory for the period. The inventory available for the period includes the beginning inventory plus the purchases for the period.

The weighted average cost of inventory can be calculated by adding the total cost of available inventory and dividing it by total number of units of available inventory.

The weighed average cost of inventory per unit for Glasgow is,

Total cost = 80 * 7.5 + 200 * 9 + 150 * 9.3 + 50 * 10.5  =  $4320

Total number of units = 80 + 200 + 150 + 50  = 480 units

Weighted average cost per unit = 4320 / 480  =  $9 per unit

The units of ending inventory are = 480 - 220 = 260 units

The cost of ending inventory is = 260 * 9 = $2340

maxonik [38]

Answer:

option (b) $35,556

Explanation:

Given:

Cost of purchase of assets = $200,000

Asset            Adjusted Basis        Fair Market Value

Inventory      $25,000                     $50,000

Equipment   $60,000                     $40,000

Supplies       $20,000                     $20,000

Building        $80,000                     $95,000

Land             $10,000                      $20,000

Total            $195,000                    $225,000

Now,

since, fair market value is greater than Basis,

Percentage FMV on Equipment =\frac{\textup{FMV for equipment}}{\textup{Total FMV}}\times100\%

⇒ Percentage FMV on Equipment = \frac{\$40,000}{\textup{225,000}}\times100\%

= 17.77%

thus,

Nanci's basis in the equipment = Percentage FMV × Assets

= 17.77% × $200,000

= $35,555.56  ≈ $35,556

Hence,

The correct answer is option (b) $35,556
