timofeeve [1]

Answer:

$258,000

Data given in the question

Salary paid on annual basis to onsite supervisor = $94,000

Salary paid on annual basis to one salaried estimator = $52,000

Two administrative assistant salaries $56,000 and $40,000

Salary of the president = $162,000

Goods with many close substitutes tend to have a. more elastic demands. b. less elastic demands. c. price elasticities of demand
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

The correct answer is a. more elastic demands.

Explanation:

There are some goods whose demand is very price sensitive, small variations in their price cause large variations in the quantity demanded. It is said of them that they have elastic demand. The goods that, on the contrary, are not sensitive to price are those of inelastic or rigid demand. In these large variations in prices can occur without consumers varying the quantities they demand. The intermediate case is called unit elasticity.

The elasticity of demand is measured by calculating the percentage by which the quantity demanded of a good varies when its price varies by one percent. If the result of the operation is greater than one, the demand for that good is elastic; If the result is between zero and one, its demand is inelastic.

The factors that influence the demand for a good to be more or less elastic are:

1) Type of needs that satisfies the good. If the good is of first necessity the demand is inelastic, it is acquired whatever the price; On the other hand, if the good is luxurious, the demand will be elastic since if the price increases a little, many consumers will be able to do without it.

2) Existence of substitute goods. If there are good substitutes, the demand for good will be very elastic. For example, a small increase in the price of olive oil can cause a large number of housewives to decide to use sunflower.

Burka [1]

Answer:

The correct option is (C)

Explanation:

To be able to claim somebody as a dependent, the person has to qualify 4 tests. They are:

  • Lineal descendant
  • Must live with the taxpayer for more than a year
  • Should be below 19 years or under 24 if a full time student
  • Cannot file return on their own.

If a person who is not a lineal descendant to be claimed as a dependent needs to be a part of taxpayer's household for 365 days (whole year).

In this case, taxpayer's cousin is not a lineal descendant. Rest of them (sister, father and son-in-law) are lineal descendants. So, cousin has to stay with the taxpayer for the entire year.
