Elasticity of demand is a measurement used in economics to show how people respond and demand a product or service when nothing but the price changes. 

If Walmart were to discount a shoe by 25% and the demand of the shoes is two pair, sales would increase by 50%. People are purchasing two pairs at this price and receiving 25% off of each pair.

Which of the following is not correct? Select one: a. Taxes levied on sellers and taxes levied on buyers are not equivalent. b.
liq [111]

Answer:

The correct answer is option a.

Explanation:

Taxes levied on either buyers or sellers are equivalent. In both cases, the tax creates a wedge. This wedge is the difference between the price that the buyers have to pay and the price that the sellers receive.  

The price that the buyers have to pay increases while the price that the sellers receive decreases. But this tax wedge does not depend on whom the tax is levied, it depends on the elasticity of demand and supply. So whether the tax is levied on buyers or sellers, the tax wedge will remain the same.

The tax burden will be shared between both buyers and sellers. So it is incorrect to say that the taxes levied on sellers and taxes levied on buyers are not equivalent.

Your restaurant has assets of $64,342 and liabilities of $47,266. What is the equity of your business?
Alborosie

Answer:

Equity of the business= $17,076.

Explanation:

Equity as used in business is used to refer to the difference between the worth of a business (its assets) and what the business owes (debts and liabilities).

In other words, total equity refers to the value which is left in the company after the total liabilities must have been subtracted from the total assets.

The formula to calculate total equity is given below:

Equity = Assets - Liabilities

Therefore to calculate the equity above, we have:

Equity = $64,342 - $47,266

Equity = $17,076.
