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

leonid [27]

Answer:

Jennifer earned an accounting profit of  $1,000 and economic loss of $26,000

Explanation:

Total revenue for Jennifer is $39,000.  

Explicit costs incurred is $38,000.  

The implicit cost or opportunity cost involved is $27,000.

Accounting profit takes into account explicit costs only. It does not include implicit costs involved in the production process.  

Jennifer has earned an accounting profit of

= Total revenue - Explicit costs

= $39,000 - $38,000

= $1,000

Economic profit takes into account the explicit cost as well as implicit cost.  

The economic profit earned

= Total revenue - Total costs

= $39,000 - ($38,000 + $27,000)

= - $26,000

During 2022, Sheridan Company entered into the following transactions.
malfutka [58]

Answer with its Explanation:

Transaction 1: The purchase of equipment is increase in the fixed assets and as the amount paid is in cash, the decrease in cash asset will also be with the same amount. This means the net effect on assets will be zero.

Accounting Equation is given as under:

Fixed Assets + Current Asset  = Equity + Liability

Equipment 318,770   -  Cash $318,770  = Zero Net Effect

Transaction 2: The increase in the equity will increase the current asset as well here, which means:

Fixed Assets + Current Asset  = Equity + Liability

Current Assets + $139,050   =  Issued common stock + $139,050

Transaction 3: The purchase of inventory on account means that the current asset would be increased and the payables will increase with the same amount. The effect on the accounting equation is given as under:

Fixed Assets + Current Asset  = Equity + Liability

Current Asset + $70,94   =   Current liabilities + $70,940
