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

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

The Journal entry is as follows:

Depletion expense - Coal Deposit  A/c     Dr. $280,000

To Accumulated depletion -Coal Deposit                        $280,000

(To record the depletion expense for the current year)

Workings:

Depletion per ton = (cost - Salvage) ÷ Total units of production

                              = ($900,000 - $100,000) ÷ 200,000

                              =  $4 per ton

Depletion expense = Tonnage tons mined current year × Depletion per ton

                                = 70,000 tons × $4

                                = $280,000

seropon [69]

Answer:

mutual mistake

Explanation:

A mutual mistake happens when all the parties involved in a contract (two or more) are mistaken or do not know the correct information about some specific material fact that is relevant to the contract. In this case, the contract can be rescinded because Harry believes that Ryan wants to buy his Cadillac, while Ryan believes Harry is selling his Porsche.  

Since both of them are mistaken and do not know relevant material facts regarding the contract, the contract can be terminated.

notsponge [240]

Answer:

$1,728

Explanation:

To reach maximum depreciation expense we simply first compute the depreciation which is shown below:-

Depreciation = Purchased computer × Depreciation Rate

= $30,000 × 11.52%

= $3,456

Refer to the MACRS Table 1

Maximum depreciation expense = Depreciation × Half year convention

= $3,456 × 50%

= $1,728

Here we considered half year convention of equipment.
