Answer:

8.08

Explanation:

Hi!

The income elasticity of demand is calculated by dividing the negative % change in demand by the % change in real income.

We calculate the negative % change in demand as:

19/20 = 0.95, a 95%

Then, the % change in real income as:

(34,000-30,000)/34,000 = 0.1176, an 11.76%

So the income elasticity of demand is:

0.95/0.1176 = 8.08

Hope it helps! :)

A business operated at 100% of capacity during its first month and incurred the following costs: Production costs (18,200 units)
Semmy [17]

Answer:

Option A,$257,732 is correct

Explanation:

The computation of income from operations requires that the operating expenses(variable operating expenses and fixed operating expenses) be deducted in the current period as against charging a portion to closing inventory as it is obtainable under the absorption costing method:

Direct materials                                            $180,100

Direct labor                                                   $238,100

Variable factory overhead                            $261,800

Total prime costs                                              $680,000  

Less closing stock(1900*$680,000/18200)    ($70,989)  

Costs of good sold                                            $609,011  

add:operating expenses:

variable operating expenses                            $126,500

Fixed operating expenses                                 $49,900

Fixed factory overhead                                       $97,900

Total expenses                                                     $883,311  

income from operations=sales-total expenses

                                        =$1,141,000-$883,311=$257,689

The $257,689 is closest to option A,$257,732 the difference could be due to rounding error

The following section is taken from Blossom's balance sheet at December 31, 2021. Current liabilities Interest payable $ 40,500
aev [14]

Answer:

(a) Journalize the payment of the bond interest on January 1, 2022.

Dr Interest payable - bonds payable 40,400

    Cr Cash 40,400

The interest expense on the bonds payable should have been accrued on the 2021 balance sheet, that is why we debit interest payable and not interest expense.

(b) Assume that on January 1, 2022, after paying interest, Blossom calls bonds having a face value of $100,000. The call price is 103. Record the redemption of the bonds.

Dr Bonds payable 100,000

Dr Call premium 3,000

    Cr Cash 103,000

(c) Prepare the adjusting entry on December 31, 2022, to accrue the interest on the remaining bonds.

interest expense = $405,000 x 8% = $32,400

Dr Interest expense - bonds payable 32,400

    Cr Interest payable - bonds payable 32,400

Lana71 [14]

Answer: c. rightward shift of a demand curve.

Explanation:

When there is movement along the demand curve, this is due to a change in the price of the good.

However, an increase in demand is noted by a rightward shift in the Demand curve. This is to signify that the demand has changed even though the price had remained the same. This shift is meant to signify that something else apart from price has caused an increase in demand such as an increase in income. After the shift, the price will have to change to reflect a new Equilibrium which will be the new intersection point with the Supply Curve.

I have attached a graph showing what happens when Quantity Demand increases.
