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

Suppose the quantity demanded of a particular good increases by 30%, and (the absolute value of) the price elasticity of demand
viktelen [127]

Answer: Option (c) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Quantity demanded increases by = 30%

Price elasticity of demand = 2

Therefore,

Price elasticity of demand = \frac{Percentage\ change\ in\ quantity\ demanded}{Percentage\ change\ in\ prices}

2 = \frac{30}{Percentage\ change\ in\ prices}

Percentage change in prices = \frac{30}{2}

                                                = 15%

Therefore, price of a particular good decreases by 15%.

LO 7.3Which is not a section of the cash budget?
Bad White [126]

Answer:

allowance for uncollectible accounts

Explanation:

The cash budget represents the cash inflow and cash outflow position with respect of cash receipts and cash payments i.e cash disbursement plus it also involves financing needs i.e how much amount is to be borrowed

But it does not involve the allowance for uncollectible accounts  as it is not shown in the cash budget because it is shown under the debtors side with the negative amount of the balance sheet

Radar Company sells bikes for $480 each. The company currently sells 4,000 bikes per year and could make as many as 4,370 bikes
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

$65,000

Explanation:

The total cost of the additional order will be $46,000 of fixed costs and an additional $160 of variable costs for each of the 370 bikes. The additional production cost is:

C=\$46,000+370*\$160\\C=\$105,200

If each bike is going to be sold for $460, then the additional income (excluding taxes) from accepting this order is:

I=(price*units)-cost\\I=(\$460*370)-\$105,200\\I=\$65,000

Radar's additional income is $65,000.
