Answer:

The balance of accounts receivable on January 1, 2018 is $31,180.

Explanation:

The following are given in the question:

Percentage of allowance for uncollectible accounts = 3%

Credit sales = $125,000

Collections = $131,000

Amount written off = $180

Therefore, we have:

Account receivable on 31 December 2018 * 3% = $750

Account receivable on 31 December 2018 = $750 / 3% = $25,000

Accounts receivable on 01 January 2018 = Account receivable on 31 December 2018 - Credit sales + Collections + Amount written off = $25,000 - $125,000 + $131,000 + $180 = $31,180

Therefore, the balance of accounts receivable on January 1, 2018 is $31,180.

jasenka [17]

Answer:

Price Elastic

Explanation:

We know that

The formula to compute the price elasticity of demand is shown below:

= (Percentage change in quantity demanded) ÷ (percentage change in price)

The classification as follows

1. Perfectly inelastic = If zero  

2. Inelastic = When elasticity is below than one

3. Unitary elastic = When elasticity is equal to one

4. Elastic = When elasticity is exceeded than one

5. Perfectly elastic = When elasticity is in infinity

Since the  percentage change in the quantity demanded of a good is greater than the percentage change in the price of the good which reflects that the elasticity is more than one
