Answer:
e. price elasticities of demand for apples and oranges are the same over these price ranges
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price.
Price elasticity = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
Percentage change in price = (50-40) / 50 = 0.2 × 100 = 20%
Percentage change in quantity demanded of Apples = (120 - 100) / 100 = 0.2 × 100 =
20%
Percentage change in quantity demanded of oranges = (240 - 200) / 200 = 0.2 × 100 = 20%
Price elasticity of demand for oranges = 20% / 20% = 1
Price elasticity of demand for Apples = 20% / 20% = 1
When coefficient of elasticity is equal than one, elasticity of demand is unit elastic.
This implies that the elasticity of demand for Apples and oranges are the same. A change in the price of oranges and apples would lead to the same proportional change for each of the demand for Apples and oranges.

Answer:
It will take 13 years and 66 days
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Your savings account earns 1.72% interest.
Present value= $3,000
Final value= $3,756
To calculate the number of years, we need to use the following formula:
n= ln(FV/PV) / ln(1+i)
n= ln(3,756/3,000) / ln(1.0172)
n= 13.18 years
To be more specific= 365*0.18= 66
It will take 13 years and 66 days
Explanation:
The journal entry to record the re-issuance of the stock is shown below:
Cash A/c Dr $240,000 (20,000 shares × $12)
Retained earnings A/c Dr $80,000
To Treasury stock $320,000
(Being the re-issuance of the stock is recorded)
The computation is shown below:
For treasury stock
= 20,000 shares × ($16 per share - $12 per share)
= $80,000
So as we can see the retained earnings is decreased by $80,000
