Answer:

$0.35

Explanation:

The computation of the price elasticity of demand using mid point formula is shown below:

= (change in quantity demanded ÷ average of quantity demanded) ÷ (percentage change in price ÷ average of price)

So, Change in quantity demanded would be

= Q2 - Q1

= 40 - 30

= 10

Now, Average of quantity demanded

= (40 + 30) ÷ 2

= 35

Change in price

= P2 - P1

= $35 - $15

= $20

And, the average of price would be

= ($35 + $15) ÷ 2

= $25

Cross price elasticity of demand = (10 ÷ 35) ÷ ($20 ÷ $25)

= 0.28 ÷ $0.8

= $0.35

yarga [219]

Answer:

C. salaries expense

D. service revenue

Explanation:

All temporary accounts need to be closed off at the end of the year. Temporary accounts are accounts that both begin and end the period with a $0 balance so that they do not get mixed up with figures from the next period.

Items in the income statement such as revenue and expenses are closed at year end and will form part of the Retained earnings account as they would have been accounted for in the net income.

Salaries expense and service revenue will therefore be closed at the end of the year.

Stella [2.4K]

Answer: 3%

Explanation:

To calculate the real interest rate, it should be noted that the inflation rate is needed and this can be calculated using the consumer price index as:

= [(126-120)/120] × 100

= 6/120 × 100

= 5%

Real interest rate will now be:

= Nominal Rate - Inflation Rate

= 8% - 5%

= 3%
