I think the most appropriate answer would be "inelastic demand". As the demand doesn't decrease significantly high and the cost of gasoline doesn't increase significantly increase that high.

(Inelastic demand is the the demand of a product does not changes too much/vigorously, as compared to elastic demand.)

I hope it helped you!

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

The price elasticity of demand is -5

Explanation:

Elasticity of demand measure the responsiveness of demand against the change in price of the product. It shows how much demand changes if there is the change in price.

Using mid point method

Change in Demand = $20 - $25

Change in Demand = -$5

Change in price  = $5 - $4

Change in price  = $1

As we know

Elasticity of Demand = Change in demand / Change in price

Elasticity of Demand = -$5 / $1

Elasticity of Demand = -5

olchik [2.2K]

Answer: "The rise in the price of a pair of running shoes will increase the supply of running shoes".

This statement is <u><em> false</em></u> because <em><u>a decrease in demand for running shoes does not increase the price of a pair of running shoes and an increase in the price of a pair of running shoes does not increase the supply of running shoes. </u></em>

This occurs as the price of a pair of running shoes increases,therefore decreasing the demand and thus the supply will not increase.

A publishing company has estimated the following cost probability distribution for the next year. What is the expected cost to t
Nitella [24]

Answer: $595

Explanation:

First find the probability of a $2,000 loss.

= 1 - other probabilities

= 1 - 0.6 - 0.05 - 0.13

= 0.22

Expected cost to the publishing company is a weighted average of the costs:

= (0 * 0.60) + (500 * 0.05) + (1,000 * 0.13) + (2,000 * 0.22)

= $595

(Appendix 11.1) Depreciation for Financial Statements and Income Tax Purposes Dinkle Company purchased equipment for $50,000. Th
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

For year 1

According to the Company's Books Depreciation

= (Orginal Cost - Salvage value) ÷ useful Life

= ($50,000 - $5,000)  ÷ 10 years

= $4,500

According to the Income Tax Depreciation

= Cost × MACRS Rate for Year 1

= $50,000  × 20%

= $10,000

So, the difference in year 1 is

= $10,000 - $4,500

= $5,500

For year 2

According to the Company's Books Depreciation

= (Orginal Cost - Salvage value) ÷ useful Life

= ($50,000 - $5,000)  ÷ 10 years

= $4,500

According to the Income Tax Depreciation

= Cost × MACRS Rate for Year 2

= $50,000  × 32%

= $16,000

So, the difference in year 1 is

= $16,000 - $4,500

= $11,500
