Answer: (1) 700 pizzas

(2) Its revenue increases by $2600.

Explanation:

Given that,

price elasticity of demand for his pizza = -4

Percentage change in price = 10%

Initial Quantity,Q_{0} = 500 Pizzas

Elasticity of demand = \frac{Percentage\ change\ in\ quantity }{Percentage\ change\ in\ price }

-4 = \frac{Percentage\ change\ in\ quantity }{0.1 }

\frac{Percentage\ change\ in\ quantity } = -4 × 0.1

\frac{Q_{1}-Q_{0}}{Q_{0}} = 0.4

\frac{Q_{1}-500}{500} = 0.4

∴ Q_{1} = 700

Initial price, P_{0} = $20

Changed price, P_{1} = $18

Revenue at t = 0

P_{0} Q_{0} = 500 × 20 =$10000

Revenue at t = 1

P_{1} Q_{1} = 700 × 18 = $12600

Therefore, from the above calculations it was seen that his revenue increases by ($12600 - $10000)= $2600 and its sales increases to 700.

klemol [59]

Answer:

$1,255,000

Explanation:

The increase in accounts receivable is the portion of the current year sales revenue that has not been received in cash, hence, the cash collected from customers in the year 2010 is simply the sales adjusted for the impact of accounts receivable as shown below:

cash collection=sales revenue+beginning accounts receivable-ending accounts receivable

sales revenue=$1,300,000

beginning accounts receivable=$120,000

closing accounts receivable=$165,000

cash collection=$1,300,000+$120,000-$165,000

cash collection=$1,255,000

vekshin1

Answer:

Both of these answers are correct.

Explanation:

Positive externality is when the benefits of economic activities to third parties exceeds its cost.

Activities that generate positive externality are

1. Education

2. Research and development

To encourage activities that have positive externality, government can subsidise such activities. Subsidies makes the activity cheaper and incentivise people to carry out such activities.

Market forces may lead to an underallocation of resources to producing the good. Therefore, the government might intervene in the allocation of the resources to increase efficiency.

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

A) $84,500

Explanation:

The cash flow statement categories the company's transactions in a financial period into 3 groups; these are operating, investing and financing.

The net profit/loss, depreciation, changes in current assets (other than cash) and liabilities are considered as operating activities including income taxes.  

The sale of assets, interest received, purchase of investments are examples of investing activities while the issuance of stocks, debt principal deduction (loan settlement), issuance of debt securities etc are examples of financing activities.

Hence, amount of cash provided by operating activities

= -$3,000 + $1,000 + $1,500 + $85,000

= $84,500

The increase in asset other than cash is an outflow, increase in liability is an inflow of cash. Depreciation is a non-cash item added back while increase in building and bond payable are investing and financing activities respectively.
