Answer:

The cross price elasticity of salsa and guacamole is 0.2. The two goods are substitutes.

Explanation:

The price of guacamole is increased from $2 to $2.5.

Percentage change in price

= \frac{new price\ -\ initial\ price}{initial\ price} \times100

= \frac{2.50\ -\ 2}{2} \times100

= 25%

The demand for salsa rises by 5%.

The cross price elasticity will be

= \frac{percenatge\ change\ in\ quantity\ demanded}{percenatge\ change\ in\ price}

= \frac{5}{25}

= 0.2

We see that the cross price elasticity is positive. This means that the two goods are substitutes. When price of one good will increase consumers will prefer the cheaper substitute, increasing its demand.

Our company has an account receivable for $12,500 that we have now deemed uncollectible. We use the direct write-off method. Whi
ryzh [129]

Answer: a. Accounts Receivable

Explanation:

The Direct Write-off method is usually used by businesses where Uncollectible Receivables are not common. This way when it does occur, they simply debit the Bad Debts accounts and credit the Accounts Receivables to show the event.

This method of Accounting violates the Matching Principle under the Accrual basis because it usually does not recognize bad debts in the same period that the inventory was sold. It only records bad debts when they are declared which could be periods afterwards.

You are holding a stock that has a beta of 1.39 and is currently in equilibrium. The required return on the stock is 20.47%, and
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer: 26.73%

Explanation:

You can calculate the expected return using the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM).

Formula is:

Expected return = Risk free rate + beta * (Market return - risk free rate)

Use the previous figures to solve for the risk free rate:

20.47% = Rf + 1.39 * (16.50% - Rf)

20.47% = Rf + 22.935% - 1.39R

20.47% - 22.935% = Rf - 1.39Rf

-2.465% = -0.39Rf

Rf = -2.465% / -0.39

= 6.32%

New expected return is:

= 6.32% + 1.39 * (21% - 6.32%)

= 26.73%

Alpaca Corporation had revenues of $290,000 in its first year of operations. The company has not collected on $18,600 of its sal
Kitty [74]

Answer:

$118,860

Explanation:

Gross Margin:

= Revenue - Cost of Goods Sold

= $290,000 - $100,000

= $190,000

Profit before tax:

= Gross Margin - Salaries - Insurance payment - Interest

= $190,000 - $12,000 - $3,600 - $4,600

= $169,800

Insurance payment: Only half of 2-year payment of 7,200 is relevant for this year.

Net Income:

= Profit before tax - Tax at 30%

= $169,800 - (30% × $169,800)

= $169,800 - $50,940

= $118,860

The price of bread goes up. What happens to DEMAND for butter?
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

A. The demand curve shifts to the left

Explanation:

Bread and butter are compliment goods. They offer the consumer a high utility when consumed together. An increase in demand for bread will increase the demand for butter.  Changes in the price of bread will affect the demand for butter.

An increase in the price of bread leads to a decrease in demand. Reduction in bread demand means that butter consumption will decline as there will be less bread to apply butter. A decrease in demand will prompt the demand curve to shift inwards.
