Answer:

b. small percentage changes in the price will lead to much larger percentage changes in the quantity demanded.

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand is a measure of how responsive is quantity demanded to change in price. Its formula is given by:

$E_{D}$ = $\frac{dQ}{Q}{\frac{P}{dP} =$

= % Change in Quantity Demanded / % Change in Price

So when absolute value $E_{D}$ is greater than 1, a x percentage change in price will lead to larger than x percentage change in quantity demanded.

Note: Whether the percentage change in quantity demanded will be just a little or very much larger than percentage change in price will depend on how much $E_{D}$ is larger than 1. But b is the still the best answer among the options.

How the constitution differs from the Articles of the Confederation.

The Constitution of the United States was created on September 7, 1787, and ratified on June 21, 1788. It is the present constitution of the United States, although it has been amended many times.

The Articles of Confederation were the first introduced constitution of the United States. It was created on November 15, 1777, and ratified on March 1, 1781.

<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

The Constitution of the United State operates the bicameral legislature, which consists of the senate and the House of Representatives. It is also known as CONGRESS. There are up to 2 senators from each state and the numbers of representatives depend on the actual population of each state. Members of Congress are elected by the people and the voting in congress is one vote per one representative. There is also an executive arm of government headed by the PRESIDENT.

The Articles of Confederation operates unicameral legislature, also known as the CONGRESS. There are 2 to 7 members that represent each state. The voting pattern in congress is one vote per state and the members of congress are appointed by the state legislators. The executive arm of government is not recognized in the articles of the confederation.

xeze [42]

Answer:

Units Transferred Out $ 663750

Work In Process Ending $ 30440

Direct Materials Costs $ 11.5 per EUP Conversion Costs$6.2 per EUP

Explanation:

Ashad Company

Weighted Average Method

Cost Of Production Report

Equivalent Units of Production

Direct Materials Conversion

Units transferred out 37,500 EUP 37,500 EUP

Units of ending work in process 2,000 EUP 1,200 EUP

Equivalent units of production 39,500 EUP 38,700 EUP

Costs Added

Direct Materials Conversion

Costs of beginning work in

process $13,450 $1,860

Costs incurred this period 440,800 238,080

Total costs $454,250 $239,940 

Costs per EUP

Direct Materials Conversion

$454,250/ 39,500 EUP $239,940/38,700 EUP

= $ 11.5 per EUP = $6.2 per EUP

Dividing the costs with EUP gives cost per EUP.

Costs Accounted For

Units Transferred Out $ 663750

Materials = $ 11.5 * 37500=$ 431250

Conversion= $ 6.2 * 37500=$ 232500

Total = $ 663750

Work In Process Ending $ 30440

Materials = $ 11.5 * 2000=$ 23000

Conversion= $ 6.2 * 1200=$ 7440

Total = $ 30440

Now adding the costs of Transferred out units and the ending work in process inventory equals the total of the costs added.

$ 663750+$ 30440 = $454,250 + $239,940

$ 694190 = $ 694190

Handy Man, Inc., has zero coupon bonds outstanding that mature in eight years. The bonds have a face value of $1,000 and a curre

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

5.657%

Explanation:

Data provided:

Face value = $1,000

Current market price = $640

Time of maturity, t = 8 year

Now,

the compounding formula is given as:

Face value = Current amount × $(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

where,

r is the rate i.e pretax rate of debt

n is the number of times the interest is compounded i.e for semiannual n = 2

thus, on substituting the values, we get

$ 1,000= $ 640 × $(1+\frac{r}{2})^{2\times8}$

1.5625 = $(1+\frac{r}{2})^{16}$

$(1+\frac{r}{2})$ = 1.0282

r = 0.05657

pretax cost of debt = 0.05657 × 100% = 5.657%

nalin [4]

Answer: Deficit

Explanation:

The current account shows the difference between imports and exports as well as net income from outside.

If this balance is zero, it means that imports are equal to exports and income sent abroad equals income recovered from abroad.

If real income in the US was to increase, people would demand more goods and services including more imports. This will shift the current account to a deficit as the imports will surpass the exports.
