The complete part of the question.

The price of coffee fell sharply last month, while the quantity sold remained the same. Five people suggest various explanations

Answer:

Kate, Manuel and Poornima

Explanation:

Given that, the price of coffee fell but the quantity sold remained the same.

1. Hubert: Demand decreased, but it was perfectly inelastic.

If an elastic demand shifts the demand curve will move to the left. This would cause both prices as well as quantity to decline. So HUBERT's statement is not correct.

2. Kate: Demand decreased, but supply was perfectly inelastic.

This can be true, because of the inelastic supply curve. If the supply curve is an inelastic vertical line then a fall in demand will not affect quantity while the price will fall. So, KATE's statement can be right.

3. Manuel: Demand decreased, but supply increased at the same time.

If there is a decrease in the demand curve, it will shift to the left. Now, if there is an increase in the supply by the same amount the price will fall but quantity will remain the same. So, MANUEL's statement is right.

4. Poornima: Supply increased, but demand was perfectly inelastic.

Here, the rightward shift in the supply curve will cause the price to fall but quantity will remain the same. So, POORNIMA's statement is right.

5. Shen: Supply increased, but demand was unit elastic.

if the demand curve is unitary elastic, an increase in supply will cause the price to fall and quantity to increase. So, SHEN's statement is not correct.

merchandise is sold for cash. the selling price of the merchandise is $2,600, and the sale is subject to a 6% state sales tax. t
love history [14]

The journal entry for the sale would include a credit to sales tax payable for $156 if the selling price of the merchandise is $2600.

The government levies a consumption tax known as a sales tax on the purchase of goods and services. At the point of sale, a standard sales tax is imposed, collected by the retailer, and paid to the government. Companies must first apply for a sales tax permit from their state's department of taxation in order to be able to collect sales tax from customers. Every time a customer makes a purchase, businesses collect sales tax, which they subsequently monthly or quarterly send to the state.

As the selling price of the merchandise is $2,600 and the state sales tax is 6%, this means that 6% of $2,600 has to be paid to the state governing body.

Sales tax = 6% of 2600

Sales tax = 6/100 × 2600

Sales tax = 0.06 × 2600

Sales tax = $156

Therefore; the entry to journalize the sale would include a credit to sales tax payable for $156 if the selling price of the merchandise is $2600.
