Answer:

B) Supply is inelastic, therefore, the price increased more than it otherwise would have.

Explanation:

The price elasticity of demand (PED) measures how much the quantity demanded of a product or service changes proportionally to a change in the price of the product or service.

If PED < 1, the demand is inelastic

PED > 1, the demand is elastic

PED = 1, the demand is unitary

When the PED is inelastic, if the price of a product or service changes 1%, then the quantity demanded will change less than 1%.

In this case the price increased a lot, but the quantity demanded only decreased a little bit.

Horatio has taken out a $12,450 unsubsidized Stafford loan to pay for his four-year undergraduate education. The loan has an int
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

We solve by first, getting the quota Horatio pays on his loan:

PV \div \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = C\\

PV 12,450

time: 10 yearss x 12 months per year = 120

monthly rate: 7.3% / 12 = 0.006083333

12450 \div \frac{1-(1+0.006083333)^{-120} }{0.006083333} = C\\

C  $ 146.487

Now, we miltiply the quota by the quantity of payment ans subtract the principal to get the amount of interest paid:

quota times quantity of monthly payment: total amount paid

less principal: interest paid.

146.49 x 120 - 12,450 = 5,128,80

Double entry, a fundamental concept underlying present-day bookkeeping and accounting, states that every financial transaction has equal and opposite effects in at least two different accounts. It is used to satisfy the accounting equation:

Assets
=
Liabilities
+
Equity

​
Assets=Liabilities+Equity
​


With a double entry system, credits are offset by debits in a general ledger or T-account.

So debit is the answer
