Which is not a characteristic of a demand curve?

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.

taurus [48]

Answer:

Land, Equipment, and Inventory will be restated on the closing date i.e. December 31, 2020. The rate of the currency exchange from local to foreign currency for equipment is on the day of purchase which is February 1, 2020.

Explanation:

1-Balance sheet items are restated on the closing date.

2-P & L items are restated on the transaction date.

As the items Land, Equipment and Inventory are all the balance sheet items, thus they will be stated on the closing date i.e. December 31, 2020.

Furthermore, the functional currency is foreign currency. Since the equipment is purchased in the domestic currency it has to be translated into the foreign currency at the rate as on the date of purchase i.e; February 1, 2020.

How does a deductible affect insurance?
Alex73 [517]

The deductible is the amount a person must pay before their insurance will start to pay. For instance, say you have a $1,000 deductible on your car and you have a wreck that causes $3,000 worth of damage. the driver would have to pay the $1,000 first and then the insurance will help cover the other $2,000 at the rate the policy stipulates.

As for pricing, the insurance policies with higher deductibles (meaning the subscriber pays more for losses), the insurance premium would be cheaper than those policies with a smaller deductible.
