Answer:

a. Calculate the price elasticity of supply for Aji's Chocolate Factory in February

  • 1.5 elastic

b. Calculate the price elasticity of supply for Aji's Chocolate Factory in March

  • 1.36 elastic

c. If Aji's Factory is nearly at full capacity of production in March, what will happen to Aji's Factory price elasticity of supply in April?

  • If the company is producing at full capacity, then its price elasticity of supply will be perfectly inelastic even if the price increases. This is because any increase in price will not affect the quantity supplied because the company cannot increase it even if they wanted to.

Explanation:

price elasticity of supply = % change in quantity supplied / % change in price

It measures the proportional change in the quantity supplied that producers will make given a 1% change in the price of their product.

PES February = [(110 - 80)/80] / [(2.5 - 2)/2] = 0.375 / 0.25 = 1.5

PES March = [(140 - 110)/110] / [(3 - 2.5)/2.5] = 0.273 / 0.2 = 1.36

yuradex [85]

Answer:

<u>Journal 1</u>

Debit : Prepaid Expense $37,600

Credit : Cash $18,800

Credit : Insurance Expense $18,800

<u>Journal 2</u>

Debit : Dividends $18,000

Credit : Wages $18,000

Explanation:

Journal 1

The first error has to be corrected by debiting the Prepaid Expenses by twice the amount paid to cancel the effect of a credit entry made to that account. Cash is credited to show the correct credit entry that was supposed to be made. Insurance expense is credited to cancel the debit entry made to this account in error.

Journal 2

The error made is called error of principle. This is were the transaction is recorded in the wrong class of accounts. Simply, Debit the Dividends and credit the Wages Account to record and reverse the error out of the Wages Account into the Dividends Account.
