Which is not a characteristic of a demand curve?

Business

Dominik [7]3 years ago

Answer: The correct answer is (A) : Positive upward slope.

Explanation: A demand curve is basically a graph like any other with the variables in potted on both the x-axis (left to right) and the y-axis (top to bottom). Understanding the definition of demand would make it easier to understand why the answer is option A and why the demand curve has a negative downward slope.

Demand can be defined as the quantity of a commodity or service that a consumer is willing and able to buy at a given price and at a particular point in time. And the law of demand states that “other factors being held constant, the higher the price of a commodity, the lower the quantity being demanded by the consumer. And the lower the price of a commodity, the higher the quantity being demanded by a consumer.”

This is simply a rational consumer behavior. So if the price of movie tickets were to go up let’s say from $10 to $15 then a consumer who previously could afford to watch 8 movies in a month (that’s $80) would be having second thoughts and so, rather than spend $120 per month on movie tickets, would be more inclined to watch less movies and stay within his/her $80 budget.

Therefore, on the demand curve, as the price of movie tickets moves positively towards the right side (on the x-axis), the quantity demanded would move negatively downwards (on the y-axis). As one variable increases the other one decreases, and vice versa. That explains why the demand curve has a negative downward slope.

On January 1, 2012 Johnson Company issued bonds with a face value of $750,000. The bonds carry an interest rate of 8% payable ea
katrin [286]

Answer:

a.

January 1    Cash                                          720000 Dr

                   Discount on Bonds Payable    30000 Dr

                            Bonds Payable                        750000 Cr

b.

January 1    Cash                                          772500 Dr

                             Bonds Payable                        750000 Cr

                             Premium on Bonds Payable  22500 Cr

Explanation:

a.

When the bonds are issued at 96, this means that they are issued at 96% of the face value of the bond which is 750000 * 0.96 = 720000

So, the cash received from issuing the bonds is 720000. As the face value of the bonds is 750000 which will be recorded as bonds payable, the difference between the cash received and the face value is the discount amount which will be debited.

b.

When the bonds are issued at 103, this means that they are issued at 103% of the face value of the bond which is 750000 * 1.03 = 772500

So, the cash received from issuing the bonds is 772500. As the face value of the bonds is 750000 which will be recorded as bonds payable, the difference between the cash received and the face value is the premium amount which will be credited.

On December 31, Strike Company sold one of its batting cages for $20,084. The equipment had an initial cost of $223,162 and had
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Loss on disposal = $2232

Explanation:

To calculate the amount of gain or loss on sale, we must first calculate the net book value or NBV of the asset. The net book value is the difference between the cost of the asset and the accumulated depreciation. The formula for NBV is as follows,

NBV = Cost - Accumulated depreciation

NBV = 223162 - 200846

NBV = 22316

If the sales proceeds are more than the NBV of the asset, the asset is sold on gain and vice versa.

Loss on disposal = 20084 - 22316 = - $2232 or$2232 loss

What is a major drawback to outsourcing, and what solution could company management institute? courcehero
faust18 [17]

Answer with Explanation:

Some of the major drawback of outsourcing and how these issues must be tackled is listed as under:

  1. Loss of control. When the company outsources its one of operating department then the company looses the control that previously it was able to emphasize on the management. Usually the company department is outsourced to a professional firm that knows every single issue related to the task assigned. But sometimes issue arises when the the service company pretends that it is highly professional in dealing with the issues but they are not. Its almost rare in developed countries because of rule of law. In such cases the company has to avoid the contract and look for another firm to cooperate in this area.
  2. Reputational Risk: The negligence of working of third party may result in reputational losses. This may also have financial impacts in the form of loss of loyalty and sales. This risk is inherent risk and the solution is that the company must not form a contract until they are well assure of the professionalism of the firm.
  3. Confidentiality Risk: The competitive advantage can be due to a new IT system implemented that integrates the information and lower the cost of information for the company that helps it in making much better decisions and is the reason of competitive advantage. The loss of this confidential data might result in loss of ideas or mechanism working knowledge that competitor may use to overcome the competitive advantage. The solution to this can be awarding tender to the firm that is professional and agreeing them that they will not breach the confidentiality and if they do that then they will compensate the company.
  4. Coordination Issue: It is one of the major issue that the Outsourcing vendors don't frequently coordinate with the company because they have to manage other company data as well. The company and the firm must agree upon issues that must be resolved on a priority and in a defined time period.
