Answer:

PED= 0.1571

Explanation:

The price elasticity of demand (PED) indicates how the quantity demanded change when the price changes. Is defined by this equation:  

Price Elasticity of Demand = Percentage change in Q/ Percentage change in P  

In this case, the problem is giving percentage changes in Q but we must calculate the percentage change in price:

%Change in price = ( p2-p1/p1)*100= ($4.09-$2.96)/$2.96= 0.3817*100=38.17%

%Change in quantity is= -6%

PED= -6%/38.17%

In absolute value:

PED= 0.1571

If the PED is less than 1 then gasoline is considered as inelastic.

Sergio [31]

Answer:

When doing time trend analysis for financial ratios we can know how a company's ratio's have changed over time or if they have remained the same, so for example if a company's current ratio was less than 1 a year ago and is 3 now it means that the company was not very liquid a year ago but since then has made changes because of which it is liquid now, so we can see how a company has performed over a certain period of time.

On the other hand peer group analysis tells us how a company is performing compared to other companies in the same industry. For example if our cement company has a profit margin of 7% but the industry average is 15% we know that our company is doing something wrong  or different as compared to the industry and we can look into it.

vekshin1

Answer:

Debit deferred tax asset for $12,000

Debit income tax expense for $18,000

Credit income tax payable for $30,000

Explanation:

The journal entries will look as follows:

<u>Date     Account Name and Description       Debit ($)      Credit ($)   </u>

20X1     Deferred tax asset (w.1)                        12,000

             Income tax expense (w.3)                    18,000

                Income tax payable (w.2)                                      30,000

<em><u>             (To record income taxes at the end of 20X1.)                             </u></em>

Workings:

w.1: Deferred tax asset = Deferred portion of the rent collected in 20X1 * Tax rate = $40,000 * 12% = $12,000

w.2: Income tax payable = Taxable income * Tax rate = $100,000 * 30% = $30,000

w.3: Income tax expense = Income tax payable - Deferred tax asset = $30,000 - $12,000 = $18,000

Identify whether each of the following statements best illustrates the concept of consumer surplus, producer surplus, or neither
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

neither

producer surplus

consumer surplus

Explanation:

Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the good.

Consumer surplus = willingness to pay – price of the good

Producer surplus is the difference between the price of a good and the least price the seller is willing to sell the product

Producer surplus = price – least price the seller is willing to accept

The first scenario is neither a producer or consumer surplus because a transaction did not take place

The second scenario is a producer surplus.

the producer surplus = 60 - 55 = 5

The third scenario is a consumer surplus

consumer surplus = $114 - $107 = $7

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

A public limited company can pay cash dividends to its shareholders for their contribution to the company. Therefore, the statement "West Company paid cash for dividend" is correct.

No other form of organization cannot pay dividends. They can pay a share of profit or extra benefits. Only in the corporation, especially in public limited, shareholders are given a cash dividend by its management body.
