16. According to data from the U.S. Department of Energy, sales of the fuel-efficient Toyota Prius hybrid fell from 194,108 vehi

cles sold in 2014 to 180,603 in 2015. Over the same period, according to data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the average price of regular gasoline fell from $3.36 to $2.43 per gallon. Using the midpoint method, calculate the cross-price elasticity of demand between Toyota Prii (the official plural of "Prius" is "Prii") and regular gasoline. According to your estimate of the cross-price elasticity, are the two goods complements or substitutes? Does your answer make sense?

Answer:

0.22 and substitutes goods

Explanation:

The computation of the cross-price elasticity of demand using mid point formula is shown below:

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

where,  

Change in quantity demanded is

= Q2 - Q1

= 180,603 - 194,108

= -13,505

And, the average of quantity demanded is

= (180,603 + 194,108) ÷ 2

= 187,356

Change in price is

= P2 - P1

= $2.43 - $3.36

= -$0.93

And, the average of price is

= ($2.43 + $3.36) ÷ 2

= 2.895

So, after solving this, the cross - price elasticity is 0.22

Since the cross - price elasticity is positive that reflect the goods are substitutes to each other

<span>As a non-management colleague, an individual does not have any immediate right to take decisions regarding the management of the company.

Match the economic scenario to the relevant characteristics. Increase in savings increase in unemployment more demand for funds
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

Economic expansion

  • Increase in savings

The economy is expanding which means that people have access to higher wages. This will enable them to save more.

  • More demand for funds among borrowers

As the economy is expanding, people will borrow to consume more as well as to invest which will lead to a higher demand for borrowed funds.

  • Increase in price of products

With more people able to afford goods and services, prices will increase as there is now more demand for those goods.

Economic recession

  • Increase in unemployment

With the economy shrinking, companies will be making less profit and will have to layoff workers to reduce their costs.

  • Increase in government borrowing

In a recession, the Government will have to spend more to prop up the economy like the US Government did during this pandemic by providing stimulus packages. This spending is supported by borrowing.

Which of the following errors would cause the adjusted trial balance to be unequal? a.The adjustment for accrued fees of $16,340
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

The answer is: B)The adjustment for prepaid insurance was omitted.

Explanation:

The adjusted trial balance is the last step before producing the financial statements of a company. Its format is identical to unadjusted balances, it has three columns: account names, debits and credits. The debit and credit columns are calculated at the bottom and should always be equal. If they aren’t equal, the trial balance was prepared incorrectly.

The only error that would cause the adjusted trial balance to be unequal (debts ≠ credits) is; The adjustment for prepaid insurance was omitted. Prepaid insurance should be debited and cash (or accounts payable) should be credited.
