After graduating from college, you are hired by the Ford automobile company as an economic analyst. For your first project, you

are asked to estimate what would happen to the sales of Ford Mustangs as a result of a change in (i) the price of a Chevrolet Camaro, (ii) the price of gasoline, and (iii) consumer incomes. You are given the following elasticities:________. 1. Price elasticity of demand for Ford Mustangs = -2.5 2. Cross-price elasticity between Ford Mustangs and Camaros = 1.5 3. Cross-price elasticity between Ford Mustangs and gasoline = -0.80 4. Income elasticity of demand for Ford Mustangs = 3.00

Answer:

1. if the price of Chevrolet Camaro increases, the demand for Ford Mustangs increases. Conversely, if the price of Chevrolet Camaro falls, the demand for Ford Mustangs falls.

2.If the price of gasoline increases, the demand for Ford Mustangs would fall and if the price of gasoline falls, the demand for Ford Mustangs would increase.

3. if income increases, demand for Ford Mustangs increases and if demand falls, demand for Ford Mustangs falls

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.

If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.

Income elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in income.

If the absolute value of income elasticity of demand is greater than one, it means demand is elastic.

The income elasticity is given as 3 , it means that demand is elastic. So if income increases, demand for Ford Mustangs increases and if demand falls, demand for Ford Mustangs falls.

Cross price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded of good A to changes in price of good B.

If cross price elasticity of demand is positive, it means that the goods are substitutes goods.

Substitute goods are goods that can be used in place of another good.

If the cross price elasticitiy is negative, it means that the goods are complementary goods.

Complementary goods are goods that are consumed together

Because the cross price elasticity between Chevrolet Camaro and Ford Mustangs is positive, it means they are subsituite goods. So, if the price of Chevrolet Camaro increases, the demand for Ford Mustangs increases. Conversely, if the price of Chevrolet Camaro falls, the demand for Ford Mustangs falls.

Because the cross price elasticity of demand between gasoline and Ford Mustangs are negative, they are complementary goods.

If the price of gasoline increases, the demand for Ford Mustangs would fall and if the price of gasoline falls, the demand for Ford Mustangs would increase.

Haven Company uses the percentage of receivables method for recording bad debt expense. The accounts receivable balance is $600,
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

Debit Bad debt expense   $19,000

Credit Allowance for doubtful debt   $19,000

Explanation:

When a company makes sales on account, debit accounts receivable and credit sales. Based on assessment, some or all of the receivables may be uncollectible.  

To account for this, debit bad debit expense and credit allowance for doubtful debt. Should the debt become uncollectible (i.e go bad), debit allowance for doubtful debt and credit accounts receivable.

Where a debit that had previously been determined to have gone bad gets settled, debit cash and credit bad debt expense.

Amount that may be uncollectible

= 4% *  $600,000

= $24,000

Given that the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts has a $5,000 credit balance before adjustment, the additional amount to be adjusted for

= $24,000 - $5,000

= $19,000

Atom Endeavour Co. issued $21 million face amount of 4.0% bonds when market interest rates were 4.46% for bonds of similar risk
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

A. $840,000

B. Discount

C. Annual interest expense on these bonds will be more than  the amount of interest paid each year.

Explanation:

Data

Bonds issued = $21,000,000

Coupin rate = 4.0%

Market Interest rate = 4.46%

Requirement A: Annual interest amount

Interest amount = Bonds issued x coupon rate

Interest amount = $21,000,000 x 4.0%

Interest amount = $840,000

Requirement B: Whether it is Premium or Discount?

Bonds that Atom Endeavour Co. issued are discount as you can clearly see in the data that the market rate is higher than the coupon rate. Investors who will buy these bonds surely expect a capital gain.

Requirement C:

The discount on the issue of bonds is amortized to interest expense over the life of the bond, therefore the interest expense on these bonds will be more than the amount of interest paid each year,

Shawna wins the lottery and her income increases by 60 percent. she used to buy 10 pints of cottage cheese per month and now she
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer: Her income elasticity of demand for cottage cheese is <em><u>0.3333</u></em> making it a <em><u>normal and necessary</u></em> good.

The income elasticity  of demand is given by :

\mathbf{YED = \frac{percentage change in demand}{percentage change in income}}

The percentage change in income is given as 60%. We calculate the percentage change in quantity demanded as follows:

\mathbf{percentage change in quantity demanded = \frac{Q_{1}-Q_{0}}{Q_{0}}}

\mathbf{percentage change in quantity demanded = \frac{12-10}{10}}

\mathbf{percentage change in quantity demanded = 0.2}\\

Substituting the value above in the income elasticity demand formula we get,

\mathbf{YED = \frac{0.20}{0.60}}

<u>YED = 0.33333</u>

Since the income elasticity is positive, and since Shawna buys more cottage cheese after an increase in income, we can classify this good as a normal good.

Since the income elasticity is between 0 and 1 we can also conclude that cottage cheese is also a essential good or a necessity.
