Answer:
The demand for Jim’s product is elastic
Explanation:
In this question, we are to calculate the price elasticity of demand for the product.
We proceed as follows;
The formula for calculating elasticity of demand is
e = [(Q2 - Q1) / {(Q1 + Q2) / 2}] / [(P2 - P1) / {(P1 + P2) / 2}]
Here, Q2 = 6000
Q1 = 8000
P2 = $250
P1 = $200
e = [(6000 - 8000) / {(8000 + 6000) / 2}] / [($250 - $200) / {($200 + $250) / 2}]
e = [(- 2000) / 7000] / [(50 / 225]
e = - 1.3
That means absolute value of e is 1.3.
So, as the absolute value of e is more than 1 (i.e., 1.3), that means the demand for the product is elastic.
Answer: $100
Explanation:
Opportunity cost is the benefit that we forgo when another option is chosen thereby leaving out something else. Based on the information given, Ed's opportunity cost of going to the ball will be calculated as the addition of the income that's lost when he takes some time off from his work and the expenses that he incurs on the base ball game. This will be:
= ( 4 × $15) + $25 + $15
= $60 + $40
= $100
The opportunity cost is $100.
Answer:
The correct answer is option A
Explanation:
A receipt of cash indicates an increase in cash which is an asset. When an asset increases, it is represented by a debit to that asset's account and the asset side of the accounting equation is also debited. Thus, a receipt of $12000 cash from stockholders will be represented by a debit or an increase to the asset account for $12000.
The other side of the transaction would be a credit to the equity for $12000 because the stockholders are the owners of the company and any capital invested by the owners in the company is represented by a credit to the equity account as the capital is credited when it increases. Thus, the effect on accounting equation will be an increase in the equity of $12000.
