Answer:

0.6

Explanation:

Initial Units sold, Q1 = 40 pairs

Initial Price, P1 = $40

Final price, P2 = $20

Final units sold = 60 pairs

Now,

Using the midpoint formula,

the absolute value of the price elasticity of​ demand

price elasticity of​ demand = \frac{\frac{Change in quantity sold}{\frac{Total quantity sold}{2}}}{\frac{Change in price}{\frac{Total price}{2}}}

or

price elasticity of​ demand = \frac{\frac{Q2-Q1}{\frac{Q1+Q2}{2}}}{\frac{P1-P2}{\frac{P2+P1}{2}}}

or

price elasticity of​ demand = \frac{\frac{60-40}{\frac{40+60}{2}}}{\frac{40-20}{\frac{40+20}{2}}}

or

price elasticity of​ demand = \frac{\frac{20}{50}}{\frac{20}{30}}

price elasticity of​ demand =  0.6

Answer: c. credit to Accumulated Depreciation.

Explanation:

When using the accelerated method of depreciation, depreciation amounts are higher in the earlier years unlike the straight-line method where depreciation is constant throughout the life of the asset.

The difference between the depreciation according to Straight-line and depreciation will be sent to the accumulated depreciation account as a credit to reflect the change and the depreciation for the period.

Suppose that Colombia imports cars from Australia. The free market price is $9,200.00 per car. If the tariff on imports in Colom
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

1) Colombians pay $ 12,696,000 per car.

2) Consumers now pay the price of $10,948,000 per car.

Explanation:

1) Given that Colombia imports cars from Australia, and the free market price is $ 9,200.00 per car, if the tariff on imports in Colombia is initially 38%, Colombians pay $ 12,696,000 per car.

This arises from the following calculation:

9,200.00 x 1.38 = X

12.696.00 = X

2) Since that as a result of the Uruguay Round, Colombia reduces its import tariffs to 19%. Assuming the price of cars is still $ 9,200.00 per car, consumers now pay the price of $10,948,000 per car.

This arises from the following calculation:

9,200,000 x 1.19 = X

10,948,000 = X

Are monopolistically competitive firms efficient in​ long-run equilibrium? Monopolistically competitive firms A. are productivel
Margaret [11]

Answer:

E)are not productively efficient because they do not produce at minimum average total cost and they are not allocatively efficient because they produce where price is greater than marginal cost.

Explanation:

Monopolistic competition can be regarded as imperfect competition whereby many producers that are competing against each other exist in the market, though they are selling products which can be differentiated from one another. Monopolistically competitive firms do

maximize their profit if their production is at a level where marginal costs as well as its marginal revenues equals. Hence, monopolistically competitive firms are not productively efficient because they do not produce at minimum average total cost and they are not allocatively efficient because they produce where price is greater than marginal cost.
