Answer:

RELATIVELY INELASTIC

more elastic

less

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.

Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price  

If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.  

Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one

Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded

If demand is relatively inelastic and price increases, there would be little or no change in the quantity demanded and as a result, total revenue would increase

If demand were elastic and prices were increased, quantity demanded would fall more than the increase in price. As a result, total revenue would fall

In the long run, people have more time to search for suitable alternatives. Thus, demand tends to be more elastic in the long run

If the long run, price is increased, the total quantity demanded would fall and revenue would fall

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

bonds payable     1,200,000

interest payable        30,000

loss on redemption 162,000

                  cash                            1,224,000

                  discount on bonds        168,000

to record redemption of the bonds at 102

Explanation:

To know the gain or loss on redemption we will compare the cash disbursement wiht the carrying value fo the bonds

the vbonds are rescue at 102 which means 102% of the face value:

1,200,000 x 102/100 = 1,224,000 cash disbursement

<u>carrying value of the bonds:</u>

1,200,000 - 168,000 discount + 30,000 interest payable = 1,062,000

loss on redemption: 1,224,000 - 1,062,000 = 162,000

we will write-off the bonds related account and credit cash by the amount paid.
