Answer:

b. A decrease in price of 2% causes an increase in quantity demanded of 0%.

Explanation:

By definition, the demand is said to be <em>perfectly inelastic</em> when no matter how much the price of a good changes, you will still be consuming the same exact amount as you did before the price changed.

Keeping this in mind, we know that the price may increase or decrease in 2%, but the demanded quantity will not have any change at all (people won't consume less or more).

So, now we know that the correct answer is <em>b, </em>because a decrease in price of 2% causes an increase in quantity demanded of 0% - in other words, people's purchase decision weren't influenced by the change in the price.

Answer:

a. Debit to Prepaid Insurance of $10,000

* Option for this question was missing so I have attached a similar question with this answer and answered accordingly.

Explanation:

Insurance purchased for four years was actually prepaid insurance on May 1, Year 2.

The company expensed all amount by positing following entry ( which is a wrong entry)

DR. Insurance Expense $12,000

Cr. Cash $12,000

It should be entered as follow:

DR. Prepaid Insurance $12,000

Cr. Cash $12,000

At the end of the year 2 8 months has been passed for which $2,000 is accrued and it will be recorded, as all the amount is charged to the expense account we will adjusted the remaining amount of $10,000 to correct this mistake.

Now at the end of year 2 the correct entry which will settle the expense and prepaid insurance as well is as follow.

DR. Prepaid Insurance $10,000

Cr. Insurance Expense $10,000

Mazyrski [523]

Answer: $13125

Explanation:

The amount that the insurer will pay to settle this loss will be calculated thus:

= Insured claim × Insurance value / 80% of replacement value

= 15000 × 105,000 /80% × 150000.

= 15000 × 105,000 / 120000

= 13125

Therefore, the insurer will pay $13125
