Answer:

the coefficient of elasticity is 0.5. Thus, demand is inelastic.

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.  

Price elasticity = 2/4 = 0.5

Because demand is less than1, big g has an inelastic demand.

The U.S. GAAP lower of cost or market rule for inventories may be applied to total inventory, to groups of similar items, or to
Aliun [14]

The inventory has to be recorded separately to each item and this will generally result in the lowest inventory amount.

<u>Explanation:</u>

LCM- the Lower of Cost which is also called as Market rule is the theory for valuating the inventory in accounting. According to the LCM rule, in a business the cost of inventory must be recorded at lower cost (it can be either the current market price or the original cost)

Reason for recording at lower cost:

Aggregating the items results in the incorporation of some items at amounts greater than LCM.

Example:

If product X (cost = 2 dollars, market = 1 dollar) and product Y (cost = 3 dollars, market = 4 dollars) are aggregated for LCM, the inventory measurement will be 5 dollars. If the rule is applied separately to both the products, the LCM measurement will be 4 dollars.

What were the economic changes that revolutionized manufacturing in the eighteenth century and led to the factory system?
Daniel [21]

Answer:

The industrial revolution affected the whole global economy, social relations, and culture.

The industrial revolution changed how goods were manufactured, and it all started with the European accumulation of capital and the invention of the steam engine.

The two major sources of energy were coal and oil that were used to power steam engines that moved machinery using water steam. That led to work specialization and urbanization (people moving into large urban areas).

The industrial revolution first started in northwestern Europe, but it then spread to the US, Russia and Japan. The global economy developed new patterns of global trade and production between nations that produced resources and those that processed them and produced goods.

Exporting economies grew around the world because of the need for exporting both raw materials and food supplies from resource producing nations, and the need for exporting finished goods form industrialized nations.
