Answer: Inelastic

Explanation:

The coefficients in a log-log model represent the elasticity of your dependent variable with respect to your independent variable. In other words, the coefficient in a log-log demand model is the estimated percent change in Q_{xd} with respect to a percentage change in the independent variables like P_{x}, P_{y}, M, A_{x}, etc.

Thus, coefficient of P_{x} represents the elasticity of demand for good X with respect to Price of good x. So, Own-price elasticity of good x is 0.8.

Since this is less than 1 the good is relatively inelastic.

If the cost of steel increases, then the supply of cars will shift and this shift would cause a shortage of cars to open up at t
Vilka [71]

Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

Supply is sellers ability and willingness to sell a good at given price, time period.

Price of Inputs is a factor negatively effecting Supply. This implies decrease in supply at high input prices (because of lower profit margin), increase in supply at low input prices (because of higher profit margin).

Increase in Supply means rightwards shift in upward sloping supply curve, Decrease in Supply means leftwards shift in upward sloping supply curve.

Steel is an input used in car manufacturing; so increase in steel price will decrease car supply & shift the supply curve leftwards. This will create excess demand/ deficient supply/ shortage of cars in the market at old equilibrium price.

This shortage will then create competition among buyers & increase price, which will contract demand & expand supply - establishing new equilibrium.

makkiz [27]

Answer:

$142,083

Explanation:

Current asset = Accounts receivable + Cash + Inventory + Marketable securities + Prepaid expenses = 70,256 + 16,928 + 73,062 + 36,421 + 2,512 = $199,179

Current liabilities = Accounts payable + Accrued liabilities + Notes payable (short-term) = 29,317 + 6,298 + 21,481 = $57,096

Working capital = Current assets - Current liabilities = 199,179  - 57,096  = $142,083

Begging Allowance for doubtful account is P1,500 (96,000 - 94,500). Ending balance of Allowance for doubtful account is P3,000 (P108,000 -P105,000). We can now work back the provision for doubtful accounts that the company has made during 2008.

Beginning P1,500

Add:

Collection of written off accounts 800

Total P2,300

Less:

Written off 3,200

Total (P900)

Therefore, in order for the company to have an ending inventory of P3,000, They must have set up a provision for doubtful accounts in the amount of P3,900. Attached herewith is the T-account of allowance for doubtful accounts
