The price of notebooks is $5, and at that price consumers demand 12 notebooks. If the price rises to $7, consumers will decrease
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

3

Explanation:

We are asked to use the midpoint formula.

Here, instead of dividing the change in values by the old value as in the normal elasticity calculation, we use the average of the two.

Mathematically:

Price elasticity of demand according to midpoint formula is :

{Q2 - Q1 / (Q2 + Q1) ÷ 2] × 100%} ÷ {[P2 - P1/ (P2 + P1) ÷ 2] × 100}

Price changed from 5 to 7. The midpoint of 5 and 7 is the average = (5+7)/2 = 6

% change in price in this case is (7-5)/6 * 100 = 100/3 = 33.33%

% change in quantity:

We first find the average = (12+4)/2 = 16/2 = 8

% change = (4-12)/8 * 100 = -100%

The elasticity of demand is thus -100/33.33 = 3

On December 31, 2017, Ball Company leased a machine from Cook for a 10-year period, expiring December 30, 2027. Annual payments
puteri [66]

Answer:

Explanation:

A capital lease is a lease arrangement in which the lessor agrees to transfer the ownership of an asset to the lessee at the completion of the lease period. During the leasing contract , the lease is treated like an asset in the company's balance sheet

Lease liability at inception =                             676,000

Annual payment  made on December 2017 =(100,000)

Balance lease liability on 2017                        = 576,000

Lease liability on December 2018

Balance on 2017                                                =576,000

Factor in 10% discount on lease payment

100,000 - (576,000*10%)= 100,000-57,600 =   (42,400)

Balance on lease liability =                                  533,600

The current liability portion =

Factoring in the 10% discount =

100,000 - (533,600*10%) = 100,000 - 53,360 =  46,640

klio [65]

Answer:

$90,000

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what Jamie’s at-risk limitation on losses is:

Using this formula

Risk limitation on losses=[Partnership M +(General partnership interest× Recourse debt agreement)]

Let plug in the formula

Risk limitation on losses= [$40,000 + (50% × $100,000)]

Risk limitation on losses=($40,000+$50,000)

Risk limitation on losses=$90,000

Therefore Jamie’s at-risk limitation on losses is:$90,000 and the reason why Jamie’s at-risk limitation on losses was the amount of $90,000 was because of his share of the recourse debt of the amount of $100,000 as well as the cash amount of $40,000 he invested.
