Answer:

d

Explanation:

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

Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price  

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.  

Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one

Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.  

Infinitely elastic demand is perfectly elastic demand. Demand falls to zero when price increases  

Perfectly inelastic demand is demand where there is no change in the quantity demanded regardless of changes in price.

The supply of labour usually exceeds the demand for labour. So, the supply of labour is less elastic. as a result workers bear the burden of tax

A corporation has the following account balances: Common Stock, $1 par value, $80,000; Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par Value, $
Nitella [24]

Answer:

b. number of shares issued is 80,000

Explanation:

In the question, the common stock par value and the total amount is given. Moreover, paid-in capital is also given.

So, if we compute it, then it gives the number of shares issued because it contains a formula which is shown below:

Number of shares issued = (Common stock ÷ Par value)

= ($80,000 ÷ $1)

= 80,000 shares

So, paid-in capital is not relevant in the computation part, and therefore, the other options are wrong except b. option.

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

From a cost savings perspective the switch should be made in-house

Explanation:

In deciding whether Cool Systems should make or buy the switch , we calculate the relevant applicable to  both situations,then compare t see which option saves costs.

The cost of making the switch is calculated thus:

Direct materials per unit      $5

Direct labor                           $3

Variable overhead                <u>$6</u>

Total relevant cost               <u> $14</u>    

The cost of purchasing the switch from another supplier is $15

From the above analysis, it is preferable to make the switch in-house as that option saves $1($15-$14) per switch.

However, it might be that we need to look beyond cost savings sometimes,purchasing the switch from another supplier might be viable if the quality of the outside switch is better or that the outside supplier can deliver in timely fashion.
