Answer:

            Ernst Consulting

             Balance Sheet

For the Month Ended October 31, 202x

Assets:

Cash $12,650

Accounts receivable $12,800

Office supplies $2,850

Office equipment $17,530

Land $45,940

Total assets $91,770

Liabilities and stockholders' equity:

Accounts payable $8,110

Common Stock $83,540

Retained earnings $120

Total liabilities and stockholders' equity $91,770

Explanation:

I ordered the accounts and included a couple that were missing:

  • Cash 12,650
  • Accounts receivable 12,800
  • Consulting revenue 12,800
  • office supplies 2,850
  • Land 45,940
  • office equipment 17,530
  • Accounts payable 8,110
  • Cash dividends 1,570  
  • Common Stock 83,540
  • Rent expense 3,110
  • Salaries expense 6,490
  • Telephone expense 850
  • Miscellaneous expenses 660

First we need to determine net profit for the month:

Consulting revenue 12,800

Salaries expense -6,490

Rent expense -3,110

Telephone expense -850

Miscellaneous expenses -660

net profit = $1,690

retained earnings = net profit - dividends distributed = $1,690 - $1,570 = $120

Your younger sister needs $50 to buy a new bike. She has opened a lemonade stand to make the money she needs. She currently is c
AleksandrR [38]

The correct answer is: "I would recommend her not to increase the price, because with an elastic demand function this will cause a great decrease in the quantity demanded by consumers".

The demand function represents the quantity of a certain good or service that consumers are willing to purchase in the market at different price levels. The law of demand states that there is an inverse relationship between price and quantity demanded (ceteris paribus, hence, given that the rest remains equal). <u>Therefore, when the price charged decreases, the amount that consumers are willing to purchase increases. </u>

In turn, the elasticity of the demand function measures the sensitiveness of the quantity demanded by consumers when there is a certain price change. If the demand function is elastic it means that a price variation would generate an even larger variation (in the inverse direction of course!) in the quantity demanded. <u>This is the case of the lemonade stand therefore the girl should not increase prices because this will not help her to reach her objective quicke</u>r, as she would loss a greater proportion of units sold than the size of the price increase that would have allowed her to earn more per unit.
