(B) diamonds are a nonrenewable resource, making them scarce.

Now from an Economist perspective, she bought a diamond necklace when the price was low, she knows that sooner or later the prices will go up. Cecilia knows that the only way to increase the value of diamonds is to make them scarce. How then do mining companies make diamonds scarce, they simply reduce production, and then the price will go up.

amid [387]

Answer:

Both parties experience surplus, but there is inequity because Steve has a much larger producer surplus

Explanation:

The options to this question wasn't provided. Here are the options : Both parties experience surplus, but there is inequity because Steve has a much larger producer surplus. Both parties experience surplus, so the transaction was equitable. Only Steve benefits from the sale. Srivani will not be happy with her purchase.

Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the good.

Producer surplus is the difference between the price of a good and the least amount the seller is willing to sell his good.

While both parties earn a surplus, the producer surplus exceeds the consumer surplus . Therefore, the seller benefited more from the trade than the consumer.

I hope my answer helps you

alderwood estimates bad debt expense assuming that 1.5% of credit sales have historically been uncollectible. what is the balanc
gladu [14]

After accounting for bad debt expense, the remaining amount in the allowance for doubtful accounts is $7,950.

<h3>What is bad debt?</h3>

Bad debt, sometimes referred to as uncollectible accounts expense, is a sum of money owed to a creditor that is unlikely to be paid and for which the creditor is not willing to take action to collect for a variety of reasons, frequently due to the debtor not having the money to pay, for example due to a company going into liquidation or insolvency. Depending on accounting practices, regulatory considerations, and the institution provisioning, there are many technical definitions of what a bad debt is. Bank loans in the USA are referred to as "problem loans" if they are more than 90 days overdue. Accounting sources recommend deducting the entire amount of a bad debt from profit and loss or from a provision for bad debts as soon as it is anticipated.
