Answer:

Less

Explanation:

In the given scenario taxi prices will go up less in City A than City B. This is because in City A we have both Uber and taxis, and there is substitution. If customers don't have taxis they will commute by Uber. So demand for taxis in City A will be elastic. An increase in price will result in a large decrease in demand. Taxi drivers will cautiously increase prices here.

In City B the only option for commuters is the taxi, so the demand will be inelastic. As price increases there is relatively little change in quantity demanded. Taxi drivers can increase prices more here without losing customers.

The answer is: limiting the types of goods and services produced

When a certain country decided to do a specialization, it will utilize most of their time and effort to one specific sectors. These sectors usually be chosen because that country had a certain competitive advantage  over another country due to the resources that they possess.

For example, Malaysia is conducting a specialization in latex related products. They choose to do this because they possess the environment that is perfect for  latex tree to grow. Currently, they are among the top three latex producers in the world.

mariarad [96]

Answer:

Income Statment:

Trucking fees earned                 130,000

Depreciation expense—Trucks (23,500)

Salaries expense                         (61,000)

Office supplies expense               (8,000)

Repairs expense—Trucks        <u>  (12,000)  </u>

                  Net Income               25,500

Retained Earnings

Beginning       155,000

Net Income      25,500

Dividends     <u>  (20,000)  </u>

Ending            160,500

Balance Sheet:

Cash                             8,000    Accounts payable         12,000

Accounts receivable  17,500     Interest payable             4,000

Office supplies          <u>   3,000 </u>    Total current liabilities 16,000

Total Current Assets: 28,500    Long-term                     53,000

Trucks (net)               136,000   Total liabilities                69,000

Land                          <u> 85,000</u>    Common Stock             20,000

Total non-current     221,000    Retained Earnings      160,500

                                                   Total Equity                 180,500

Total Assets             249,500    Liabilities + Equity    249,500

Explanation:

For the income statement we list the revenue and then, we subtract all the expenses account.

Retained Earnings will be beginning + income - dividends. This value will go into the balance sheet.

For the balance sheet, we display assets into both categories:

current: who are going to be converted into cash within a year.

and non-current like the truck and the land which are going to be in the company's book for more than a year before converting into cash.

Liabilities and equity will be in the other side and their sum should match the total assets.
