Answer:Price elasticity of demand = -0.05

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand using the midpoint method= \frac{(Q2- Q1)/(Q2+Q1)/2}{(P2- P1)/(P2+P1)/2}

where  Q =Quantity demanded

P = Price

Price elasticity of demand =  (\frac{(210-190/210+190)/2}{0.90-1.10/ 0.90+1.10)/2}

 =     \frac{20/400)/2 }{ -0.2/2)/2}

0.025/ -0.05 = -0.05

Price elasticity of demand = -0.05

The Price elasticity of demand tells us how much quantity demanded changes in response to a change in price. Here the Demand for a good is  inelastic because  the PED coefficient is less than one -0.05

Answer:

Elasticity = 0.5

Explanation:

Elasticity is defined as the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price. One of the methods used to calculate it is the midpoint method.

Midpoint method uses average values to calculate the elasticity of demand of a good.

Elasticity = {(Q2 - Q1) ÷ (Q1 + Q2)/2} ÷ {(P2 - P1) ÷ (P1 + P2)/2}

Elasticity = {(210 - 190) ÷ (210 + 190)/2} ÷ {(0.9 - 1.10) ÷ (0.9 + 1.10)/2}

Elasticity = 0.1 ÷ 0.2

Elasticity = 0.5

Vikki [24]

Answer:

Statement of Cash Flows.

Explanation:

The financial statement comprises of income statement, balance sheet, statement of stockholder equity and the statement of cash flows. It is explained below

In the income statement, the total revenues and the total expenses are recorded.  

If the total revenues are more than the total expenditure then the company earns net income

And, If the total revenues are less than the total expenditure then the company have a net loss

This net income or net loss would reflect in the statement of the retained earning account.

In the balance sheet, the assets, liabilities, and stockholder equity is recorded. In this the accounting equation is used which is shown below:  

Total assets = Total liabilities + stockholder equity  

The debit and credit side of the balance sheet should always be equal and balanced.  

Moreover, it always is prepared on the specified date.

The statement of stockholder's equity comprises common stock and retained earnings.  

The ending balance of retained earning = Beginning balance of retained earnings + net income - dividend paid

And, the ending balance of the common stock = Beginning balance of common stock + issued shares

There are three types of activities in the cash flow statement which are described below:  

1. Operating activities: It includes those transactions which affect the working capital after net income. The increase in current assets and a decrease in current liabilities would be deducted whereas the decrease in current assets and an increase in current liabilities would be added.  

These changes in working capital would be adjusted. Moreover, the depreciation expense is added to the net income and the loss on sale of assets is added whereas the gain on sale of assets is deducted  

2. Investing activities: It records those activities which include purchase and sale of the long term assets. The purchase is an outflow of cash whereas sale is an inflow of cash

3. Financing activities: It records those activities which affect the long term liability and shareholder equity balance. The issue of shares is an inflow of cash whereas redemption and dividend is an outflow of cash.
