For several years in a row, the east coast cities of the nation suffered extremely cold winters. Demand for home heating oil was

very inelastic. How did the elasticity of supply impact the changes in price that resulted from the increased demand? a) Supply is elastic, therefore, the price increased more than it otherwise would have. b) Supply is inelastic, therefore, the price increased more than it otherwise would have. c) The elasticity of supply would have no impact on the price changes. d) Supply is inelastic, therefore, the price increased less than it otherwise would have. e) Other factors impacted price of heating oil more than elasticity of supply or demand.

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.

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

$17,450

Explanation:

The antique painting that was bought in January 1996 was sold for $21,000

It was sold for 4,200 in January 2021

It received a net auction fee of 650

Therefore the allowable loss can be calculated as follows

= 21,000-4200+650

= 17,450

Hence the allowable loss is $17,450

H_1:\mu 1=\mu 2=\mu 3\neq \mu 4

At least one of the treatment group means are different

The test statistic is not significant and failed to reject the null hypothesis.

4) The test statistic is not significant. So, there is no evidence to conclude that there is a difference between groups.

denis23 [38]

Answer:

It should be greater than $36

Explanation:

The opportunity cost of working is the amount of money sacrificed or could have earned if the individual was not working. In this case, Claire has decided to go with her friend which means that the opportunity cost of not working is less than the benefits receives from going out. Because she is not working it means that the opportunity cost of working is more than 36 dollars, which is the income she could have earned in 3 hours.

On January 1, 2021, Weaver Corporation purchased a patent for $210,000. The remaining legal life is 20 years, but the company es
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Requirement 1. Journal for purchasing Patent:

Jan 01, 2021    Patent Rights (Debit)                    210,000

                                  Cash/Bank (Credit)                            210,000

Requirement 2. Journal for amortization expense for the year ended 31 Dec, 2021:

Dec 31, 2021    Amortization expense - Patent    35,000

                                   Accumulated amortization                 35,000

Requirement 3. Journal for amortization expense for the year ended 31 Dec, 2022:

Dec 31, 2022    Amortization expense - Patent    35,000

                                   Accumulated amortization                 35,000

Requirement 4. Journal for incurring legal fees

Jan 31, 2023     Legal fees                                      30,000

                                    Cash/Bank                                          30,000

Requirement 5. Journal for amortization expense for the year ended 31 Dec, 2023:

Dec 31, 2023    Amortization expense - Patent    35,000

                                   Accumulated amortization                 35,000

Explanation:

Requirement 1.

Since Weaver corporation purchases a patent, it costs the company cash or bank balance. As the patent is a non-current intangible asset, it is a debit. On the other hand, as cash decreases due to the purchase of patent, the cash is a credit. In this journal, an asset (Non-current asset) increases, and another asset (Current asset) decreases. There will be no effect on the total asset.

Requirement 2, 3 and 5. All the calculations will be the same as it is a straight-line method of amortization. Straight-line depreciation (amortization) is a method of expense on an asset over a long period. The expense is the same over the period as the expense is calculated as the total cost divided by the useful number of years. Again, as the patent is an intangible asset; therefore, the asset has to be amortized instead of depreciated.

The amortization expense of patent is = $210,000/6 = $35,000

Since, the company estimates the patent's useful life will be 6 years. Therefore, the amortization expense will be $35,000 for each year.

Requirement 4: Since legal fees is an expense, the company pays for this due to the occurrence of legal issues. The expense decreases the cash; therefore, it is a credit. On the contrary, the legal fees are a debit as it decreases net income. The legal fees, however, does not affect the amortization expense as it is not adding to the cost of the patent.
