Answer:

Inelastic between the price of $6 and the price of $8

Explanation:

At price $8, the total expenditure ;

= price * Quantity

=$8 * 13600

=$108,800

At price $6, the total expenditure;

=$6 * 15200

=$91,200

Since the total expenditure is decreasing with a decrease in price then the elasticity of demand will be inelastic.

Answer:

Inelastic

Explanation:

The elasticity of demand is the response of consumers to a change in the price of a product (Barnier, 2020). It is calculated as the percentage change in the quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in price.  

Looking at the number of units sold at each price ($6 and $8), we can determine that the demand is inelastic. The percentage change in demand is smaller than the percentage change in price.  This means that the demand curve will be steep.

Refer to Exhibit 7.3, which shows the U-shaped cost curves for a producer. A is the marginal cost curve, B is the average variab
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

U shaped Curves are all of the three : A marginal cost curve , B average variable cost curve , C average (total) cost curve

Vertical Distance between B) Average Variable Cost Curve , C) Average Total Cost Curve is Average Fixed Cost

Explanation:

Marginal Cost [MC] is addition to total cost, when an additional unit of output is produced. It is the rate of change in Total Cost. As total cost increases at decreasing rate first, then at increasing rate ; MC curve falls first & then rises & hence is U shape

Average Cost [AC] is average total cost per unit of output. It is also U shape as it falls first & then rises, due to total cost first increasing at decreasing rate & then increasing at increasing rate.

Total Cost [TC] changes only due to change in total variable cost [TVC] , as total fixed cost is constant. So, TVC changes in same pattern as TC, first at decreasing rate & then at increasing rate. This makes Average Variable cost [AVC] rise first, fall then i.e U shape

Total Cost is the total production expenditure on all (fixed & variable) factors of production.

TC = TFC (total fixed cost) + TVC

AC = AFC (average fixed cost) + AVC

AC - AVC = AFC. Difference between AC & AVC is AFC. This distance keeps on falling with increase in output but never becomes zero (the curves keep on coming closer but never intersect). Such because TFC is constant, AFC = TFC / Q keeps on falling with increase in output

On January 2, 2014, Indian River Groves began construction of a new citrus processing plant. The automated plant was finished an
9966 [12]

Answer:

the expenditures are missing, so I looked for a similar question:

  • 1/2/2014 $400,000
  • 7/1/2014 $1,200,000
  • 12/31/2014 $1,200,000
  • 3/31/2015 $1,200,000
  • 9/30/2015 $800,000

Weighted average expenditures for 2014:

January 1 = $400,000 x 1 = $400,000

July 1 = $1,200,000 x 1/6 = $600,000

December 31 = $1,200,000 x 0 = $0

total = $1,000,000

Since the company borrowed $2,200,000 specifically for this construction project, then capitalized interests = $1,000,000 x 12% = $120,000

A company has $104,000 in outstanding accounts receivable and it uses the allowance method to account for uncollectible accounts
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

$4,260

Explanation:

The journal entry to record the adjustment to the allowance account includes a debit to Bad Debts Expense is given below:

Estimated Uncollectible Accounts is

= $104,000 × 5%

= $5,200

Now  

Bad debt expense is

= Estimated Uncollectible accounts - credit balance in Allowance account

= $5,200 - $940

= $4,260
