Answer:

the decrease in price of used cars from $5000 to $3000 will lead to a rise in the demand of used cars by 60%

Explanation:

Mid-point method

The midpoint formula for calculating elasticity calculates change in quantity demanded and divides it by the change in the the price

The original formula is

(Q2-Q1) / (Q2-Q1)/2   / (P2-P1)  / (P2-P1/2)

Q2 is new Quantity

Q1 is old quantity

P2 is new price

P1 is old price

Since we already have the Price elasticity of demand as -1.2

the formula changes to

Percentage Change in QUantity = Price Elasticity of demand x ( (P2-P1)  / (P2-P1/2)

= -1.2 x (P2-P1)  / (P2-P1/2)

= -1.2 x (3,000-5000)  / (5000-3000/2)

-1.2 x (-2000/4000) x 100

= 60%

Therefore, the decrease in price of used cars from $5000 to $3000 will lead to a rise in the demand of used cars by 60%

Regency Inn leased a rental office in the lobby of its hotel to Americar, a car rental agency. Wagner rented a car from Americar
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

The court ruled against both Americar and Regency Inn, and then Regency Inn won its case against Americar. The nuisance case itself is pretty unpleasant, so it's not worth referring to it.

The fundamentals for the ruling against Americar were that they themselves had drafted the lease agreement and that the clause included in the lease agreement by which they agreed to indemnify Regency Inn was valid. The original lease term had already expired, but Americar continued to lease the offices on a monthly basis. Since they never left the place, the clauses in the original agreement were still valid even though the lease changed to a monthly basis. I.e. if you sign a lease contract and after the original contract is over, you continue to lease the same place, then the clauses from the original contract still apply.

The clause stated that Americar was liable for damages that took place on the leased premises or in their proximity, i.e. the area near their offices. The parking lot was considered to be in the proximity of Americar's offices.

boyakko [2]

Answer:

A) there was no way to foresee that the incident would happen.

Explanation:

Wayne hadn't done anything wrong before in the company, his behavior at the workplace could be described as very good; no complaint in 20 years and no criminal record what so ever. If Wayne was frustrated about his job, he disguised it very well. No one can predict this type of behavior if the person shows no prior signs of violence or frustration.

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Cost of land = $76,240

Explanation:

Cost of land = cash price + accrued taxes + attorney's fees + broker's commission + clearing and grading

Cost of land = $61,440 + $4,720 + $2,660 + $3,360 + $4,060

Cost of land = $76,240

  • The original cost of an asset takes into consideration all of the items that can be attributed to its purchase and to putting the asset to use.
  • These costs include the purchase price and such factors as commissions, transportation, appraisals, warranties and installation and testing.
  • Original cost can be used to value an asset type, including equipment, real estate and security instruments.
