Japanese sales of the Wii were approximately 1,040,000. Twelve months earlier, over the same interval at the high price, sales totaled 890,000. Using the midpoint method, what is the absolute value of the price elasticity of demand of a Wii console? Is it an elastic or inelastic good?

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

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

$118,220

Explanation:

The Costs of Goods Sold COGS is calculated using the following formula.

COGS = Beginning inventory + purchases - Ending Inventory

For Azur company

Beginning inventory:  30,840

Ending inventory : 20,560

Net purchases equal Net purchase equal to purchases plus freight-in minus discounts  freight-out are administrative expenses, hence do not feature in COGS

Net purchases =$102,800 + $15,420 -$ 10,280

COGS = $30,840 +$107,940 -$20560

COGS = $118,220

An ""offer"" to sell an item on an online auction site generally is treated as an invitation to negotiate. True or false?
inessss [21]

Answer:True

Explanation: In live auctions, buying and selling of items, and bidding on these items, are done face to face by the auctioneer and the bidder. Online auction sites provide platforms for consumers and producers to buy and sell items over the internet.

Online auctions are different. Because these transactions take place online, and are thus automated, when an "offer" to sell an item occurs then it can be taken as an opportunity to negotiate. Interested parties can make bids on the item, with or without a limit, depending on the auctioneer. Then the party with the highest bid wins the item.

In​ 2008, as a financial crisis began to unfold in the United​ States, the FDIC raised the limit on insured losses to bank depos
Tomtit [17]

The FDIC stands for Federal Deposit Insurance Company.

By raising the limit on insured losses the FDIC helps stabilize the system by instilling confidence.

If the consumer knows that their savings accounts are protected up to $250,000 they will be encouraged to spend money during a time of crisis.

Because of the increased limit, there is less probability that there would be something called

"a run on the bank."
