Answer:

the coefficient of elasticity is 1.25. therefore demand is elastic

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.

Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price

5% / 4% = 1.25

If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.  

Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one

Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded

So if toss a coin there are 50% chances that head will appear and I will loose money and 50 percent chances that tail will appear and I win money.

Alona [7]

Answer:

b. Increase by $2.20

Explanation:

Economic Surplus is the total benefit to society from production.

If an additional unit is produced the additional cost will be $79.40 and it will the additional benefit of $81.60.

So the surplus = benefit - cost = $81.60 - $79.40 = $.2.20

They are marginal quantities (change made by additional unit) so everything has been taken into account for the deriving of change to surplus.

adell [148]

Answer:

Correct option is (B)

Explanation:

In accounting, double entry book keeping is followed as every financial transaction has dual effect on the books of accounts. It starts with the accounting equation which stated:

Assets = Liabilities + Stockholder's Equity

If there is an increase in assets, there has to be a subsequent increase in either liability or stockholder's equity.

Every transaction is debited in one account and credited in some other account.

For example Depreciation for the year is $2,000. Depreciation expense account is debited by $2,000 and accumulated depreciation account is credited by $2,000.

Since Sandra recognizes that an effect on asset will have a simultaneous effect on either liability or equity, she is following double entry bookkeeping.
