Zigmanuir [339]

Answer: b. Economies of Scope

Explanation:

Economies of Scope refers to a situation where a company is able to reduce the cost of producing two or more goods by combining their production thereby leading to savings in the production process.

Economies of Scope in effect points out that there are some goods that when produced in tandem with another, lead to a cost reduction which means that its savings is based on variety.

Goods that usually achieve Economies of Scope are goods that are compliments, produced by similar methods or use similar inputs for production.

Firm A merging with Firm B produced the 5 radios and batteries cheaper so the new company is experiencing Economies of Scope.

During 2018, its first year of operations, Pave Construction provides services on account of $152,000. By the end of 2018, cash

ASHA 777 [7]

The adjustment for noncollectable accounts on December 31, 2018:

Debit Bad Debts Expense $13,800

Credit Allowance for Doubtful Account $13,800

Explanation:

In Pave Construction, 2018 is the first year of operations. The company provides services on account of $152,000.

By the end of 2018, cash collections on these accounts total $106,000.

At the end of 2018, Accounts Receivable (the uncollected accounts) has debit balance of $46,000 ($152,000 - $106,000 = $46,000)

Pave estimates that 30% of the uncollected accounts will be bad debts

Bad Debts Expense = 30% x $46,000 = $13,800

The adjusting entry to record the bad debts expense will be:

Debit Bad Debts Expense $13,800

Credit Allowance for Doubtful Account $13,800

The price of good X increases from $55 to $60, and quantity demanded decreases from 500 to 400. The price of good Y increases fr

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

demand curve for Good X is more elastic than the demand curve for Good Y

Demand for good X is elastic because the coefficient of elasticity is greater than 1.

Demand for good Y is inelastic because the coefficient of elasticity is less than 1.

consumers who buy Good Y are less sensitive to price changes than consumers who buy Good X

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.

For good X,

Percentage change in price = $55 / $60 - 1 = | -0.0833| = 8.33%

Percentage change in quantity demanded = 500 / 400 - 1 = 0.25 = 25%

Elasticity of demand = 25% / 8.33% = 3

Demand for good X is elastic because the coefficient of elasticity is greater than 1.

For good Y,

Percentage change in price = $55 / $60 - 1 = | -0.0833| = 8.33%

Percentage change in quantity demanded = 500 / 475 - 1 = 0.0526 = 5.26%

Elasticity of demand = 5.26% / 8.33% = 0.63

Demand for good Y is inelastic because the coefficient of elasticity is less than 1.

consumers who buy Good Y are less sensitive to price changes than consumers who buy Good X
