Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

$500;$810

Explanation:

Based on the information given we were told that he painted his office and replaced the door at a cost of the amount of $500 which means that Travis has the amount of $500 in deductible direct expenses

Calculation for deductible indirect expenses.

First step is to calculate the utilities

Utilities= $3,000 x (240/2,400)

Utilities= $3,000 x 10%

Utilities= $300

Second step is to calculate the property taxes

Property taxes= $1,500 x 10%

Property taxes= $150

Third step is to calculate the mortgage interest

Mortgage interest= $3,600 x 10%

Mortgage interest= $360

Now let calculate the deductible indirect expenses.

Deductible indirect expenses=$300+$150+$360

Deductible indirect expenses=$810

Therefore Travis has $500 in deductible direct expenses and $810 in deductible indirect expenses.

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The quality should be about the same.

The social responsibility should also be about the same.

There shouldn't be side effects of most products. If you are speaking of medications, there really ought to be the same side effects with the same severity and the same statistical occurrences.

The only difference is the company selling the product.

There have been exceptions to this where different "fillers" were used in the generic brand and the side effects were different and more severe. I've only heard of one case however and I cannot remember what it was. Manufacturers were careful not to let it happen again.

Inelastic

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.

Price elasticity of demand = midpoint change in quantity demanded / midpoint change in price  

Midpoint change in quantity demanded = change in quantity demanded / average of both demands

change in quantity demanded = 14 million  - 15 million =  -1 million  

average of both demands = (14 million + 15 million  ) / 2 = 14.50 million

Midpoint change in quantity demanded =  -1 million  / 14.50 million = -0.069

midpoint change in price = change in price / average of both price

change in price = $2.15 - $1.35 = $0.80

average of both prices = ( $2.15 + $1.35 ) / 2 = $1.75

midpoint change in price = $0.80 /  $1.75 = 0.457

-0.069 / 0.457 = 0.15 demand is inelastic  

If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.  

Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one

Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.  

Infinitely elastic demand is perfectly elastic demand. Demand falls to zero when price increases  

Perfectly inelastic demand is demand where there is no change in the quantity demanded regardless of changes in price.
