Answer: B. A reduction in market price will lead to an increase in quantity demanded.

The law of demand states that normal goods have a higher demand at lower prices, because the demand curve is downward sloping which means that the lower the price the more of it people will be willing to buy, so a reduction in market price will mean that now more people are willing to buy that good. For eg a car normally sells $80,000 and 1000 cars are sold in a month, because of technological advances the company now sells the car for $60,000 because of this decrease in price more people will be willing to buy the car and the the monthly sales will be more than a 1,000 cars because at the price of $60,000 more people will be willing to buy this car.

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

8,000 m²

Explanation:

you must first change the size of your lot from acres to square miles = 2.2 acres / 640 acres per square miles = 0.0034375 square miles

now we can convert to square kilometers = 0.0034375 miles x 2.56 square kilometers per square miles 0.0055 square kilometers

there are 1,000,000 m²´per km², so you have 0.0088 km² x 1,000,000 = 8,800 m²

Cox Co. accounts for its inventory using the LIFO cost method. An inventory loss from a permanent market decline of $360,000 occ

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

$360,000

Explanation:

Last in first out (LIFO) is a method used in inventory where the cost of most recently purchased goods is the one to be expensed first. Also current losses are the first to be reported.

An inventory loss incurred in a quarter must not be deferred, but recorded as items within an interim must be reported in the same period they were incurred, unless it can be redeemed before the end of the fiscal year. It is not considered a temporary item.

The loss reported in May will be reported for that quarter in June.

Consider two markets: the market for motorcycles and the market for pancakes. The initial equilibrium for both markets is the sa

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

1. PES for pancakes is 2.45

2. Supply in the market for motorcycles is less elastic than supply in the market for pancakes.

Explanation:

Hi :)

I feel like part of the question is missing but i was able to find it elsewhere and show you:

1. How to calculate PES using mid-point formula

2. PES for both motorcycles and pancakes

3. Which is more elastic

...

Price elasticity of supply is the responsiveness of quantity supplied to a change in price. it is calculated by dividing the % change in quantity supplied by the % change in price. Generally, it can be of two types:

Price Elastic: Change in quantity supplied is higher than change in price. PES > 1

Price Inelastic: Change in quantity supplied is lower than change in price. PES < 1

When calculated using the mid-point formula, this is the formula used:

(Q2 - Q1) / [(Q2 + Q1)/2]

(P2 - P1) / [(P2 + P1)/2]

1. We will now substitute the actual values of pancakes in place after identifying them from the question:

Equilibrium Quantity - 27 (Q1)

New Quantity - 109 (Q2)

Equilibrium Price - $6.50 (P1)

New Price - $10.75 (P2)

(109 - 27) / [(109 + 27)/2]

(10.75 - 6.50) / [(10.75 + 6.50)/2]

1.21

0.493

Therefore, PES for pancakes is 2.45 (approx. two decimal places) suggesting it is price elastic.

2. In order to check whether motorcycles or pancakes are more elastic, we calculate the PES of motorcycles using the same method:

Equilibrium Quantity - 27 (Q1)

New Quantity - 61 (Q2)

Equilibrium Price - $6.50 (P1)

New Price - $10.75 (P2)

(61 - 27) / [(61 + 27)/2] 

(10.75 - 6.50) / [(10.75 + 6.50)/2]

0.77

0.493

Therefore, PES for motorcycles is 1.56 (approx. two decimal places) suggesting it is price elastic. However, it is less price elastic than PES for pancakes.

One reason for this could be production time. Pancakes can be produced much faster than motorcycles. Therefore, it is more flexible to price changes.
