Answer:

A good without any good substitutes is likely to have a relatively low elasticity of demand. Low elasticity of demand means that consumers cannot replace the good with substitutes when the price goes up.

The yacht is likely to have the more elastic demand because it is a luxury good that people can easily forgo in case they do not have enough income. An amputation procedure for a diabetic on the other hand, is a medical issue that is will have an extremely inelastic demand. In other words, patients will pay any necessary amount for the procedure, because it is vital for their lives.

Food as a whole will be the least elastic because people cannot go without food, and it is one of the most basic necessities that need to be covered.

Vegetables will be in between. They are one essential food group, but they could be replaced in some cases.

Red bell peppers is the most elastic good because it is akin to a luxury good in the sense that is not objectively necessary to consume for anything other than flavor, and as a spice, it has many close substitutes.

The demand for natural gas will tend to be less elastic in the short run than in the long run. In the short-run, people will have to continue buying natural gas even if the price rises, but in the long-run, many people will opt for other alternatives like electric cars.

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

days on inventory 57 + collection cycle 163- payment cycle 63

CCCT = 157 days

Explanation:

The cash-to-cash measures the times from the company paid his good from the time it collect from the customer:

days inventory outstanding + collection cycle - payment cycle

days inventory outstanding:

$\frac{365}{Inventory TO} = $Days on Inventory$

Where:

$\frac{COGS}{Average Inventory} = $Inventory Turnover$

where:

$$$Average Inventory=(Beginning Inventory + Ending Inventory)/2$

COGS $ 1,790,000

Beginning Inventory: $ 273,000

Ending Inventory: $ 290,000

Average Inventory: $ 281,500

$\frac{1790000}{281500} = $Inventory Turnover$

Inventory TO 6.358792185

$\frac{365}{6.35879218472469} = $Days on Inventory$

Days on Inventory 57

Collection cycle:

$\frac{Sales}{Average AP} = $AP Turnover$

where:

$$$Average AP=(Beginning AP+ Ending AP)/2$

Purchases: 1,575,000

Beginning AP: 227,500

Ending AP: 316,200

Average AP: 271,850

$\frac{1575000}{271850} = $AP Turnover$

$\frac{365}{AP TO} = $payment cycle$

AP TO 5.793636196

payment cycle 63

Collection cycle

$\frac{Sales}{Average AR} = $AR Turnover$

Sales 102,000

Average AR 45,500

$\frac{102000}{45500} = $AR Turnover$

$\frac{365}{AR TO} = $collection cycle$

AR TO 2.241758242

$\frac{365}{2.24175824175824} = $collection cycle$

collection cycle 163

Deffense [45]

Answer:

Huprey Co.

Identifying the accounting treatment for each claim as either (a) a liability that is recorded or (b) an item described in notes to its financial statements:

1. Huprey (defendant) estimates that a pending lawsuit could result in damages of $1,550,000; it is unlikely that the plaintiff will win the case.a. A liability that is recorded.

b. An item described in notes to its financial statements.

2. Huprey faces a loss on a pending lawsuit that it is unlikely to lose; the amount is reasonably estimable.

a. An item described in notes to its financial statements. b. A liability that is recorded.

3. Huprey faces a probable loss on a pending lawsuit; the amount is reasonably estimable.a. An item described in notes to its financial statements.

b. A liability that is recorded.

Explanation:

Huprey Co. will recognize and record contingent liabilities in its accounts when it can be reasonably established that the future event will occur and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. The implication is that Huprey Co. must establish two things before a contingent liability is recognized and recorded. One is that the probability or the likelihood or the chance that the event will happen exists and can be estimated. With the probability estimate, it becomes possible for Huprey Co. to also estimate the amount that the happening of the event will cost it.
