Answer:

1

Unitary elastic

Elasticity of demand is unitary elastic because the absolute value of elasticity is equal to 1.

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

Percentage change in quantity demanded = (25 - 15) / 25 = 0.4 × 100 = 40%

Percentage change in price = ($5 - $7) / $5 = 0.4 × 100 = 40%

Elasticity of demand = 40% / 40% = 1

If coefficient of elasticity is equal to 1, demand is unit elastic. It means that a change in price has an equal efect on the quantity demanded. Quantity demanded has an equal and proportional change to changes in price.

I hope my answer helps you

Explanation:

unadjusted rate of return

\frac{average \: return}{average \: investment}

Average investment

Answer: Debit Account Payable $1600, Credit Cash $1600

If the perpetual inventory system, and purchases are recorded through the use of a gross method, the correct journal entry to record the payment on July 28 will be to Debit Account Payable $1600, and then Credit Cash $1600.

In this case, we should note that we don't need any adjustment for discount. This is because the payment made was on the 28th of July.
