Answer:

Explanation:

Profit and loss is not an account. It is calculated by taking the difference between the revenues minus the expenses of a business. If there are more revenues than expenses, the difference is positive or a Profit. If there are more expenses than revenues, the difference is a negative or a Loss.

If Kindle e-readers and Nook e-readers are substitutes, a higher price for Nooks would result in a(n) ______.

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer: a) increase in the demand for Kindles.

Explanation: the substitution effect for substitute goods gives that, if the price of good A rises, the demand for good B rises. Since a substitute good is a good that can be used in place of another, they are goods that a consumer perceives as similar or are comparable, in such a way that having more of one good causes the consumer to desire less of the other good. From the viewpoint of price, and given that consumers always prefer to spend less in instances where two goods are substitutes, it then means that Kindle can be used and preferred in place of Nooks given that the price of Nooks had gone up. Therefore, increasing the price of Nooks causes a corresponding increase in the demand for Kindles.

1. Which advantage is not enjoyed by the owner of a sole proprietorship?

gayaneshka [121]

The correct answer to 1 is the ability to easily raise financial capital.

A sole proprietor is limited to the cash that they personally have, so this is a disadvantage when they need additional capital for the business.

The correct answer to 2 is that their personal property can be used to pay debts.

A partnership is personally responsible for the debts of the company. If the company owes money and cannot pay it, the partners that own the business are personally responsible.

The correct answer to 3 is the shareholders.

The shareholders are the owners of the corporation. They vote for a board of directors who in turn oversee the operation of the corporation.
