The price of a large pizza decreased from $18.00 to $14.00. As a result, the quantity demanded of skateboards increased from 330

natta225 [31]

Answer:

a. The percentage change in pizza prices is -25.00%.

b. The percentage change in pizza prices is 5.88%.

c. The cross elasticity of demand for pizza and skateboards is -23.53%.

We follow these steps to arrive at the answer.

<h3>a. Percentage change in price of pizza</h3>

The percentage change in price of pizza using the midpoint formula is:

$percentage change in price = ({\frac{P_{2} - P_{1}}{Average price})*100$

$Average Price = \frac{P_{2} + P_{1}}{2}$

In this question, P₁ is $18 and P₂ is $14

Substituting the values in the formula above we get,

$Average Price = \frac{14 + 18}{2}$

$Average Price = \frac{32}{2}$

$Average Price = 16$

$percentage change in price = (\frac{14 - 18}{16})* 100$

$percentage change in price = (\frac{-4}{16}) * 100$

$percentage change in price = -25$ %

<h3>b. Percentage change in quantity demanded of skateboards</h3>

The percentage change in quantity of skateboards using the midpoint formula is:

$percentage change in quantity = (\frac{Q_{2} - Q_{1}}{Average Quantity})*100$

In this question, Q₁ is 330 and Q₂ is 350

Substituting the values in the formula above we get,

$Average quantity = \frac{Q_{2} + Q_{1}}{2}$

$Average quantity = \frac{350 + 330}{2}$

$Average quantity = 340$

$percentage change in quantity = (\frac{350 - 330}{340})*100$

$percentage change in quantity = (\frac{20}{340})*100$

$percentage change in quantity = 5.8823529$ %

<h3>c. Cross Elasticity of demand of skateboards and pizza</h3>

We calculate the cross elasticity of demand as follows:

$Cross Elasticity Demand = \frac{percentage change in quantity of skateboards}{percentage change in price of pizza}$

$Cross Elasticity Demand = \frac{0.058823529}{-0.25}$

$Cross Elasticity Demand = -0.235294118$

$Cross Elasticity Demand = -23.53$ %

Concord Company is constructing a building. Construction began on February 1 and was completed on December 31. Expenditures were

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

$2,317,000

Explanation:

The computation of the weighted-average accumulated expenditures for interest capitalization purposes is shown below:

For expenditure on March 1

= $1,932,000 × 10 months ÷ 12 months

= $1,610,000

On June 1

= $1,212,000 × 7 months ÷ 12 months

= $707,000

On December 31, it would be zero

So, the accumulated expenditures is

= $1,610,000 + $707,000

= $2,317,000

Suppose there are 70 million people in the labor force, out of which 60 million are employed, then the unemployment rate is?

ZanzabumX [31]

Suppose there are 70 million people in the labor force, out of which 60 million are employed, then the unemployment rate is: 14.28%.

An unemployed person is someone who does not have a job but is actively looking for one. Employed or Not Employed? You are employed part-time. If you work as a student, the university cafeteria is employed.

Labor force participation rate = (labor force/working age population) x 100 where labor force = employment + unemployment. To solve this problem, we need to know the number of people employed, the number of job seekers, and the working age population.

Counselors of Savannah purchased equipment on January 1, 2017, for $43,000.

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Book value by December 31,2018=$26,000

gain on the sale by December 31, 2018=$1,200

Explanation:

The expression for the accumulated depreciation is as follows;

depreciable cost=Acquisition cost-residual value

where;

acquisition cost=$43,000

residual value=$500

replacing;

depreciable cost=43,000-500=$42,500

depreciable cost=$42,500

The annual depreciation can be expressed as;

annual depreciation=depreciable cost/estimated life

where;

depreciable cost=$42,500

estimated life=5 years

replacing;

annual depreciation=42,500/5=8,500

annual depreciation=$8,500

Accumulated depreciation after 2 years=annual depreciation×2=(8,500×2)=$17,000

Book value=acquisition cost-accumulated depreciation

where;

acquisition cost=$43,000

accumulated depreciation=$17,000

replacing;

Book value=43,000-17,000=$26,000

net gain/loss=sale-book value

net gain/loss=27,200-26,000

gain on the sale by December 31, 2018=$1,200

Discuss whether or not consumers benefit more from a market economic system or a mixed economic system. *

storchak [24]

Answer:

compared to a mixed economy, a market economy tends to benefit the consumers.

This is mainly because the government intervention and restrictions are minimum in a market economy, compared to a mixed economy in which the government plays a major part as an economic agent and a regulator.

A free market system's main aim is to enhance the competitions and the freedom of choice for the consumers.

However, in the real world scenarios, pure free market systems are difficult to be seen and most of the time, the economies are Mixed economies.

Even in USA's economy 40% of the economy consists of the government agencies and activities.

This is mainly due to the economic malpractices by the producers and corporations.
