Answer:

B. a small percentage decrease in price produces a larger percentage increase in quantity demanded and total revenue increases.

Explanation:

Elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price.

Elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price

Demand is elastic if a small percentage decrease in price produces a larger percentage increase in quantity demanded . Total revenue would increase because the percentage increase in Quanitity demanded exceeds the percentage decrease in price.

If demand is elastic, a small percentage increase in price produces a larger percentage decrease in quantity demanded and total revenue increases.

Here, total revenue falls because percentage decrease in price exceeds the percentage increase in price.

Demand is inelastic if a small percentage decrease in price produces a smaller percentage increasein quantity demanded.

Demand is perfectly inelastic if the quantity demanded remains the same regardless of level of price.

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

Assets = $ 55650

Liability =8300

Owner's equity=47350

Liability and Owner's equity.=8300 +47350=$55650

Explanation:

Using The basic equation we add the transaction to arrive at the actual amounts.

Assets = Liabilities + Owner's Equity

1. 50,000= 50,000

Cash +Assets = Liabilities + Owner's Equity

2. 35,800 +14,200= 50,000

Cash +Assets = Liabilities + Owner's Equity- Rent Expense

3) 33600+ 14200 = 50,000 - 2,200

Cash +Canoes = Liabilities + Owner's Equity- Rent Expense

4) 33600+ 14200+ 4900= 4900 + 50,000 - 2,200

Cash +Canoes = Liabilities + Owner's Equity- Rent Expense

5) 33600+ 19,100 + 3,400= 4900+ 3400 + 50,000 - 2,200

Cash +Canoes + Office Equip = Liabilities + Owner's Equity- Rent Expense

6) 33225+22500+ 375= 8,300 + 50,000 - 2,200

Cash +Canoes + Office Equip+ A/ R = Liabilities + Owner's Equity- Rent Expense

7) 33225+22500+ 375+ 1350 = 8,300 + 50,000 - 2,200+ 1350

Cash +Canoes + Office Equip+ A/ R = Liabilities + Owner's Equity- Rent Expense- drawings

8) 31425+22500+ 375+ 1350 = 8,300 + 50,000 - 2,200+ 1350-1800

We get

Cash = 31425

Kayak And Canoe 22500

Office Equipment= 375

Accounts Receivable= 1350

Accounts Payable = 8300

Capital less Drawings= 50,000- 1800= 48,200(850)= 47350

Revenue- Expenses = 1350 -2200= (850)

Assets = Cash +Kayak And Canoe +Office Equipment+ Accounts Receivable = 31425 +22500 + 375 +1350= $ 55650

Liability =8300

Owner's equity=47350

Liability and Owner's equity.=8300 +47350=$55650

Suppose a perfectly competitive firm is producing 37 units output, and the marginal cost of the 37th unit is $3. If the firm can

sesenic [268]

Answer:

C) increase production.

Explanation:

Competitive firms maximize their accounting profits when marginal revenue (MR) = marginal cost (MC).

In a perfectly competitive market, all the producers and the consumers are price takers, so they cannot change the price of the goods. So changing the sales price is not possible. Since the marginal revenue is greater than the marginal cost, the firm should increase its production output until MR = MC.

Anika [276]

Answer: Economies of Scale

Explanation:

Economies of scale refers to the tendency of costs to reduce per unit as the number of units produced increases. This is because the producer is able to share the costs amongst all the units produced.

George was getting those ingredients to make a single burger so the produce he used were small in quantity and cost him more. The companies that make sandwiches in large numbers buy and produce the ingredients in bulk which reduces their prices.

For example, George went to Minneapolis to get salt for one burger, those companies would go and get salt for 10,000 burgers at the same time which would reduce the cost by dividing it across the 10,000 burgers.

This cost saving from economies of scale enables the local deli to sell products at a cheaper rate than if we had to make them ourselves.
