Answer:
Elastic demand
A heart valve
Explanation:
A good with many close substitutes will have a highly elastic demand. This is because an increase in the price of the good will causes the consumers to purchase one of its cheaper substitutes.
If both a diamond necklace and a heart valve for heart attack victims are priced the same, the price elasticity for the heart valve will be lower. This is because the diamond necklace is a luxury good but the heart valve is necessary for the survival of the victim.

Answer:
Apportioned joint cost to A=$92,800
Explanation:
<em>Joint costs are the costs incurred up until the split-off where two or more products result from the same production process. These common costs need to be apportioned among the joint products using any of the following basis:</em>
- physical units
- Relative sales value basis.
The relative value basis apportions joint costs using the proportion of product individual sales value to the the total sales value.
Total sales value = (280×4,000) + (100×2,800) =1400000
Apportioned joint cost to A =(1,120,000/1,400,000)× 116,000=92800
Apportioned joint cost to A=$92,800
