Answer:

The correct answer is:

demands reflect a decision about which wants to satisfy and a plan to buy the good, while wants are unlimited and involve no specific plan to acquire the good. (d)

Explanation:

Let me first try to define what demand and want are:

want: want is a desire for a product or service. It is said that wants are unlimited, however, the resources to actualize such wants are in a limited supply.

Demand: Demand is the quantity of good or service that a person is willing and able to pay for because of the availability of resources to do so, at a given price and time.

For a clearer understanding, demand can be seen as a subset of want that a consumer takes a further step to acquire, not just desire. There is a specific plan to acquire such wants.

Answer:

$ 244 million

Explanation:

Calculation for how much has GE saved in taxes by choosing LIFO over FIFO method for costing inventory

Tax rate Amount (In millions)

LIFO $ 10,315.00 35% =$ 3,610.25

FIFO $ 11,012.00 35% =$ 3,854.20

Savings in taxes $ (697.00) $ (243.95)

Hence,

Savings in taxes=$ 3,610.25 million-$ 3,854.20 million

Savings in taxes=($243.95 million)

Savings in taxes=($ 244 million) Approximately

Therefore the amount that GE saved in taxes by choosing LIFO over FIFO method for costing inventory will be $ 244 million

Zach wants to take his family on a cruise in 4 years and he estimates the cost of the cruise will be $16,500. How much money sho

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

$118.83 per month that Zach must save.

Explanation:

This is a future value annuity as we know the cruise will cost $16500 in 4 years time as estimated by Zach for the cruise.

Fv is the future value for the annuity which is $16500

we also have i the interest rate which is 3.99% monthly

n is the number of periods in which the monthly amount is saved 4 x 12 =48

now we will substitute to the following formula and solve for C the monthly payments that Zach saves for the cruise:

Fv =C [((1+i)^n -1)/ i] now we substitute

$16500 = C[((1+3.99%)^48 -1)/3.99%)] then solve for C

$16500/[(1+3.99%)^48 -1)/3.99%] = C

C = $118.83 that Zach must save per month for 4 years to afford the cruise.

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Elasticity of demand is responsive change in demand of good, due to change in price. Formula = % change in demand / % change in price

Factors Affecting Price Elasticity of Demand : Nature of commodity, Income, substitutes availability, time period, urgency / postponement, share in total expenditure,
