Answer:

Slope = -1

Explanation:

Demand is buyers ability & willingness to buy at a price, time.

Demand Curve is graphical representation of quantity demanded at various prices at y axis, demand at x axis.

Slope = Change in Y i.e ∆Y / Change in X i.e ∆X

'Slope of Demand Curve' is a varied version of 'Price Elasticity of Demand' i.e quantity demanded responsiveness to change in price. Former shows relative change in quantity demanded over a change in price & latter shows change in price for a given change in quantity demanded.

Demand Curve Price at Y axis, Quantity at Axis, Slope= ∆Y/∆X becomes

= ∆P/∆Q. As per given details, ∆P/∆Q = (9-10)/(5-4) = -1/1 = -1

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

$9,000

Explanation:

Calculation for the amount of gross profit that should be recognize

First step is to calculate the

A's sale value = 6,000 unit*12 per unit

A's sale value = $72,000

Second Step is to calculate B's sale value

B's sale value = 14,000 units*4 per unit

B's sale value= $56,000

Third step is to calculate the Total sale value

Total sale value = $72,000 + $56,000

Total sale value= $128,000

Fourth Step is to calculate the Cost of goods sold of A for 6,000 units and 2,000 units

Cost of goods sold of A for 6,000 units = ($72,000/$128,000) * $80,000

Cost of goods sold of A for 6,000 units = 0.5625*$80,000

Cost of goods sold of A for 6,000 units= $45,000

Cost of goods sold of A for 2,000 units = $45,000*2,000/6,000

Cost of goods sold of A for 2,000 units = $15,000

Last step is to calculate the Gross profit of A for 2,000 units

Gross profit of A for 2,000 units = (2,000*12 per units) - 15,000

Gross profit of A for 2,000 units = $24,000 - $15,000

Gross profit of A for 2,000 units = $9,000

Therefore the amount of gross profit that should be recognize will be $9,000
