Answer:

Explanation:

In response to the price rise from $50 to $60, the quantity demanded of product X  drops from 400 to 300 units. We know that price elasticity of demand is a measure of the responsiveness of changes in demand as a result of a price change. Thus,

% change in price = \frac{Change in price}{Average of the prices}

          = \frac{60-55}{55} = 0.1818

% Change in Quantity demanded

=\frac{Change in quantity demanded}{Average quantity demanded}

= \frac{300-400}{350}

= -0.2857

Thus,

Price elasticity of demand = \frac{percentage change in quantity demanded}{percentage change in price}

= \frac{-0.2857}{0.1818}

= -1.5715

Therefore, the price elasticity of demand = -1.5715

Reptile [31]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

It is 'Incremental cost allocation method' that ranks the individual users of a cost object in order of users most responsible for a common cost (the most responsible will be primary user) and then uses these rankings to allocate the costs among the users (incremental users).

Stand-alone cost allocation method allocates cost proportionately among all users based on a basis which relates to each users proportion of the total. For example the basis could be proportion of sales of responsibility centers to total sales of organization.

In year 1, X Company recognized an impairment loss on the trade name for its beverage product, reducing the carrying value from
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

The value of the intangible will remain at $350,000

Explanation:

The reason is that the International Accounting Standard IAS-36 says that once the impairment is recognized for the intangible assets it can not be reversed which means that the amount reported would be $350,000. The reason is that it is very rare that the asset gain its value and specially those which are intangible assets. Most of the management in the 1990s-2000 tried to recognize a gain on impairment which was unjustifiable to increase their profits for the period so the standard specifically didn't permitted gain on a previously impaired asset.
