Answer:
B) 0.7; inelastic
Explanation:
The computation of the absolute value of the price elasticity of demand is shown below:
Elasticity is
= [(Sales - prior sales) ÷ ( Sales + prior sales) ÷ 2] ÷ [(price - dropped price) ÷ (price - dropped price) ÷ 2
= [(1,040,000 - 890,000) ÷ (1,040,000 + 890,000) ÷ 2] ÷ [(25,000 - 20,000) ÷ (25,000 + 20,000) ÷ 2]
= (150,000 ÷ 965,000) ÷ (5,000 ÷ 22,500)
= 0.15 ÷ 0.22
= 0.7
It is less than one so the demand is inelastic
The two main accounting methods are cash accounting and accrual accounting. Cash accounting records revenues and expenses when they are received and paid. Accrual accounting records revenues and expenses when they occur. Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires accrual accounting.
