Answer:

2.33 ; demand for movies is elastic

Explanation:

The computation of the price elasticity of demand is presented below:

= (change in quantity demanded ÷ average of quantity demanded) ÷ (percentage change in price ÷ average of price)  

where,  

Change in quantity demanded is

= Q2 - Q1

= 30 - 15

= 15

And, an average of quantity demanded is

= (30 + 15) ÷ 2

= 22.50

Change in price would be

= P2 - P1

= $8 - $6

= $2

And, the average of price is

= ($8 + $6) ÷ 2

= 7

So, after solving this, the price elasticity of demand is 2.33

Since it is not given by which method we have to calculate it. So, we use the mid point formula.

Based on the above calculation, we concluded that the demand for movies is elastic

Hardin Company received $120,000 in cash and a used computer with a fair value of $360,000 from Page Corporation for Hardin Comp
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

$30,000 and $360,000

Explanation:

The computation of the gain on the exchange is shown below:

= Cash received + fair value of the computer  -  undepreciated cost of existing computer

= $120,000 + $360,000 - $450,000

= $30,000

The amount of the computer which is recorded will equal to the fair value of the computer i.e $360,000

For computing the gain we simply added the fair value and deduct the undepreciated cost of an existing computer in the cash received amount so that the accurate amount can come.  

All other information which is given is not relevant. Hence, ignored it

At a large department store, the number of years of employment for a cashier is a normally distributed variable with a mean of 5
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

0.0084

Explanation:

For this probability problem, we will have to make use of the normal probability distribution table.

to use the table, we will have to compute a certain value

z = (x- mean) /Standard deviation

z = \frac{(10 - 5.7)}{1.8} = 2.39

Probability he has worked in the store for over 10 years can be obtained by taking the z value of 2.39 to the normal probability distribution table to read off the values.

<em>To do this, on the  "z" column, we scan down the value 2.3. we then trace that row until we reach the value under the ".09" column. </em>

This gives us 0.99916

Thus we have P (Z < 2.39) = 0.9916

We subtract the value obtained from the table from 1 to get the probability required.

1 - 0.9916 = 0.0084

The Probability that the employee has worked at the store for over 10 years = 0.0084

On January 1, 2012, Piper Co., purchased a machine (its only depreciable asset) for $600,000. The machine has a five-year life,
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

Piper should report $308,000 as net income for the year . Option C

Explanation:

Accumulated Depreciation till 2014 = [$600,000×(5+4+3)] ÷ 15 = $ 480,000

Book Value at beginning 2015 = $600,000 - $480,000 = $120,000

Depreciation Expense in 2015 = $120,000 ÷ 2 = $60,000

Net Income before depreciation & taxes = $ 500,000

Depreciation = $ 60,000

Electronic Benefits Transfer = Net Income before depreciation & taxes - Depreciation

= $ 500,000  - $ 60,000  

=$ 440000

Tax Expenses = $440,000 × 30% = $132,000

Net Income =$ 308,000
