Answer:

E) 0.39

Explanation:

the price elasticity of demand measures how much will a 1% change in price affect the quantity demanded.

  • if a 1% change in price changes the quantity demanded in a higher proportion, then the PED > 1, so the demand is elastic.
  • if a 1% change in price changes the quantity demanded in a lower proportion, then the PED < 1, so the demand is inelastic.
  • if a 1% change in price changes the quantity demanded in the same proportion, then the PED = 1, so the demand is unit elastic.

PED using the midpoint method = {(Q2 - Q1) / [(Q2 + Q1) / 2]} / {(P2 - P1) / [(P2 + P1) / 2]}

PED = {(16,000 - 17,000) / [(16,000 + 17,000) / 2]} / {(48 - 41) / [(48 + 41) / 2]} = {-1,000 / 16,500} / {7 / 44.5 } = -0.0606 / 0.1573 = -0.385 ≈ 0.39 inelastic

*PED is always negative, but we use the absolute value for practical terms, e.g. a price decrease will increase the quantity demanded.

A sporting equipment store expects to purchase $7,800 of ski boots in October. The store had $3,800 of ski boots in merchandise
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

Cost of goods sold = $8,800

Explanation:

<em>The cost of goods is represents amount incurred to make available  what has been sold. It is computed as follows:</em>

<em>Cost of goods sold = opening stock + purchases - closing inventory</em>

It is useful to determine the cost of goods so as to calculate the gross profit margin. The gross profit is the sales revenue less cost of goods sold.

So we can compute same for the sporting equipment store as follows:

Cost of goods sold = 3,800 + 7,800 - 2,800

= $8,800

Cost of goods sold = $8,800

emmainna [20.7K]
A fair value option is the alternative  for a business to record its financial instruments at the fair values. Liabilities are company's financial debts or obligations that arise in the course of business operations. They may be long term or short term. In this case, if the fair value of the liability decreases, the firm should respond by crediting the unrealized Holding Gain/loss in the income account.
