Cross price elasticity refers to the measure of responsiveness of the quantity demanded of a product to a change in price of another good. 
From the question given above, 
cross price elasticity = -20% / 10% = -2.
The cross price elasticity for the goods above is - 2. Which means that the goods are not substitutes. 
A positive cross price elasticity which is greater than zero means that the goods are substitutes.

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

a. 116.9 and the inflation rate was 16.9%

Explanation:

<u>Definition</u>

Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a statistical measure that is constructed using a weighted average market basket of consumer goods and services produced by a household.

CPI = (Cost of market basket ₓ / Cost of market basket ₓ₁) * 100

where x = present year(2014) and x1 = base year(2012)

CPI = (90/77) * 100

CPI = 116.88

CPI = 116.9 (to 1 decimal place)

Inflation =<u>Current year basket cost - Base year basket cost</u>    * 100

                                    Base year basket cost

Inflation = <u>90-77</u>  * 100

                   77

Inflation = 16.88

Inflation = 16.9% ( to 1 decimal place)

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

$162,500

Explanation:

Depletion is used to expense the cost of extracting natural resources.

Depletion expense = (unit extracted in 2017 / total units that could be extracted) x (Cost- salvage value)

(1,500,000 / 12,000,000) x ( $1,500,000 - $200,000) = 0.125 × 1,300,000 = $162,500

I hope my answer helps you

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

1. $54,000

2. $50,000

3. $50,000

Explanation:

1. The computation of transaction price if the expected value is used is shown below:

= Flat fee + (Cost savings × given percentage)

= $50,000 + ($20,000 × 20%)

= $50,000 + $4,000

= $54,000

2. The computation of transaction price if the estimate of variable consideration is used. So, only a flat fee should be considered and the cost saving is ignored. Hence, the amount is $50,000

3. The computation of transaction price if the estimate of variable consideration is used. So, only a flat fee should be considered and the cost saving is ignored. Hence, the amount is $50,000 as there is very uncertainty due to lack of experience
