Answer: It is reasonable to assume that a profit-maximizing firm will never operate in the inelastic portion of its demand curve.

Explanation:

It should be noted that a firm that profit maximizing will not operate in the inelastic portion of its demand curve because at that point, the firm isn't maximizing profit.

When there's an inelastic demand, an increase in price will bring about a less than proportionate reduction in the quantity of the goods that's demanded. In such case, if the firm operates at the inelastic portion of its demand curve, when it increases price, this will lead to a reduction in income and profit will not be maximize.

Answer:

Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

Consumer income is one of the main determinant of demand. Consumer income is related with the demand of normal and inferior good.

If there is an increase in the income of a consumer then as a result the demand for a normal good increases and shifts the demand curve rightwards.

If there is a fall in the income of the consumer then as a result the demand for a normal good also decreases and shifts the demand curve leftwards.

Alternatively, the consumer income is inversely related with the demand for inferior goods.

Answer:

$\large\boxed{\large\boxed{\$ 248.53}}$

Explanation:

The equation to calculate the <em>monthly payment</em> for fixed-rate loans is:

$Monthly\text{ }payment=Loan\times \bigg[\dfrac{r(1+r)^t}{(1+r)^t-1}\bigg]$

Where:

Loan = $8500 - $300 = 8,200

r is the monthly interest = 5.75% / 12 = 0.0575/12 ≈ 0.00479

t is the number of moths = 36

Substituting:

$Monthly\text{ }payment=\$8,200\times \bigg[\dfrac{(0.0575/12)(1+(0.0575/12))^{36}}{(1+(0.0575/12))^{36}-1}\bigg]=\$ 248.53$

Answer:

The journal entry to record the first installment payment will include a debit to interest expense of $27,900, mortgage notes payable of $21,248 and a credit to cash account of $49,148

Explanation:

For recording the first installment payment, we have to compute the interest amount which is given below:

Interest amount = value of Mortgage note × rate × year

= $186,000 × 15% × 1 year

= $27,900

Since we have to compute the installment for January 1, 2019, therefore, we take the one year period

Now, we have to compute the principal amount which equals tp

= Installment amount - interest expense

= $49,148 - $27,900

= $21,248

So, the journal entry would be

Interest expense A/c Dr $27,900

Mortgage note payable A/c Dr $21,248

To Cash $49,148

(Being payment of the first installment recorded)
