Answer:

2.20

Explanation:

The Price elasticity will be:

Δdemand/ΔPrice

<u>The mid point is used to calculate the increases.</u>

Δdemand = ΔQ/midpointQ

(Q2+Q1)/2 = mid point quantity = (300+ 200)/2 = 250

ΔQ = 300-200 = 100

Δdemand = 100/250 = 0.4

<u>Same procedure is applied with the Price numbers:</u>

Δprice = ΔP/midpointP

(P2+P1)/2 = mid point price = (3+ 2.5)/2 = 2.75

ΔP = 2.5-3 = 0.5

Δprice = 0.5 / 2.75 = 0.181818

FInally we calculate the price elasticity:

Δdemand/ΔPrice

0.4/0.1818181818 = 2.2

Westkost [7]

Answer:

b. As both an increase in the equipment account and an increase in contributions from donated services.

Explanation:

When the flood damages the vehicles there was a loss in the value of the organisation's equipment. The actor of restoring it to its previous state will require an addition to equipment account. So there will be an increase in equipment.

The services provided by the mechanic were free and will be recorded as a donated service. This is an increase in contributions from donated services.

There is no expense recorded as the services were performed for free.
