Answer:1) how responsive quantity demanded is to changes in income--A 2) income elasticity of demand for butter is 0.11. That means butter is a luxury good---A
Explanation:
1) Income elasticity of demand refers to the responsiveness of the quantity demanded for a certain good to a change in income of consumers who purchase this good.The higher the income elasticity of a good, the greater the consumers' response in their purchasing lifestyle.
The formula for Income elasticity of demands given by
The percent change in quantity demanded divided by the percent change in income.
2) Income elasticity of demand, helps us to identify if a particular good represents a necessity or a luxury.
-when the income elasticity for a good is less than 1(ie from 0-1) we say that the good is a normal good. these goods are also called necessity goods and consumers will purchase them irrespective of the changes in their income eg water, electricity
- when the income elasticity of a good is greater than 1 , we say that the good is a luxury good. eg butter
- An inferior good is one with a negative income elasticity which means rising incomes will lead to a drop in demand.
Answer:
April,
- Sales is zero
- Net income is zero
- Net cash flow is an outflow of $100,000 (used in the purchase of raw materials)
May,
- Sales is $150,000
- Net income is $500,00
- Net cash flow is zero
And in June;
- Sales is zero
- Net income is zero
- Net cash flow is an inflow of $150,000 (amount received from customers)
Explanation:
In April, the company purchased raw materials (Sugar and Peppermint) for $100,000. The entries posted are debit to Inventories and Credit to Cash account (both amounting to $100,000 each).
As such in April,
- Sales is zero
- Net income is zero
- Net cash flow is an outflow of $100,000 (used in the purchase of raw materials)
It produces its candy and sells it to distributors in May for $150,000, but it does not receive payment until June.
When the sale is made in May, the entries required is Debit accounts receivables $150,000 and Credit Sales revenue $150,000. Also, Debit cost of goods sold $100,000 and Credit Inventories $100,000.
Net income is the difference between sales and cost of sales.
As such in May,
- Sales is $150,000
- Net income is $500,00
- Net cash flow is zero
For June,
Payment for goods sold in May were received, entries posted are debit to cash account and a credit to accounts receivables (both balance sheet accounts), hence;
- Sales is zero
- Net income is zero
- Net cash flow is an inflow of $150,000 (amount received from customers)
Answer: Option D
Explanation: In economics, inflation means the increase in the general price level of goods in an economy and the decrease in the value of money. This process occurs over a period of time.
In a scenario of inflation the purchasing power of the consumers decreases leading to a decrease in demand. Inflation could be controlled but is unavoidable and hence every economy faces some level of inflation every time.
Hence from the above we can conclude that the correct option is D.
