Answer:

1. fall

2. Larger

3. more

Explanation:

The price elasticity is relative measure of change in demand. When the demand of heating oil decreases due to increase in price then the heating oil is considered as price elastic. The elasticity of heating oil is 0.2 in the short run and 0.7 in the long run which means customers respond less in change of demand in short run due to change in price. When the price of heating oil increases, the demand will fall in the short run.

In the short run customers may not find time to respond to the change in price. The change in demand in short run is smaller and change in demand in Long run will be larger.

The price elasticity of heating oil is more in long run because customer may find alternate sources at a cheaper rate and may switch to it causing a greater fall in demand of heating oil.

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

The use of the allowance method of accounting for bad debts.

Explanation:

We use the allowance method to match the expected ad debt with the sales or account receivables which generates.

As sales of a givne month can be declared uncollectible after several month using a direct method we are putting the burden of the uncollectible in another accounting period while leaving the one which did that sale untouched.

The allowance makesthe expense in the same time period thus, it follows the recognition principle.

The Draper Corporation is considering dropping its Doombug toy due to continuing losses. Data on the toy for the past year follo

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

The Draper Corporation would be indifferent between continuing and discontinuing of Doombugs at 20,000 units.

Explanation:

The draper should be indifferent at the level at which they covered all of their Fixed Cost.

The sales price per unit is ⇒ 150,000/15,000 = 10 per unit

The Variable cost per unit is ⇒ 120,000/15,000 = 8 per unit

The Break-even units for Draper should be:

Break-even units = Fixed Cost

Sale price - Variable Cost

Break-even units = 40,000

10-8

Break-even units = 40,000

Break-even units = 20,000 units

Frank is lending $1,000 to Sarah for two years. Frank and Sarah agree that Frank should earn a 2 percent real return per year. I

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

a. 23%.

b. Frank should charge Sarah 2% more than the inflation rate.

Explanation:

a. Find the nominal rate of interest.

To find this value we must follow this equation:

$NI=RI+IR$

Where NI = Nominal Interest, RI= Real Interest, and IR= Inflation Rate.

a.1. Find the real interest rate.

The problem statement gives us this value: 2% real return per year, as agreed by Sarah and Frank.

a.2. Find the inflation rate.

Here we follow this equation:

$IR=(\frac{CPI_{F} -CPI_{B} }{CPI_{B} } )*100$

Where:

CPI(F) is the CPI of the final year, in this case, it would be 121 (the expected CPI for two years, which is the established loan time).

CPI (B) is the CPI of the base year, that is, the CPI in force at the time that Frank makes the loan, 100 in this case.

We replace these values:

$IR=(\frac{121-100}{100} )*100$

$IR=(\frac{21}{100} )*100$

$IR=0.21*100$

$IR=21%$

The inflation rate equals 21%.

a.3. Replace in the equation of the nominal rate of interest.

$NI=RI+IR$

$NI=0.02+0.21$

$NI=0.23$

So, the nominal rate of interest Frank should charge Sarah equals 23%.

b. Find out how much Frank should charge Sarah (regarding inflation and considering that it is unknown).

The inflation rate reduces the return expected by Frank. Therefore, the nominal interest rate charged must be higher than the inflation rate, in order to ensure a positive real returns. In this case, since it is not known exactly what that inflation rate is, Frank must charge 2% (expected return) above what the inflation rate can record.

Hence, the short answer is: Frank should charge Sarah 2% more than the inflation rate.

Bodily injury $22.50
Property damage $144.75
Collision $275.75
Comprehensive $100

If you add all together, the total premium of the policy was $543
