Answer:

I would fire Gary.

Explanation:

Even if Gary has a better sales record, he seems to be unable to keep good personal relationships, both with coworkers and clients. This in the long-run could become more problematic and lead to a decline in sales record, and also, a decline in other areas.

On January 1, Year 1, Raven Limo Service, Inc. paid $64,000 cash to purchase a limousine. The limo was expected to have a six ye

MAXImum [283]

Assuming Raven uses straight-line depreciation, the Company would recognize a $2,000 gain.

<h3>What is straight-line depreciation?</h3>

The simplest way to determine depreciation over time is through straight-line depreciation. According to this strategy, an asset's value is reduced by the same amount for each year that it is in use.

<h3>Depreciation formula:</h3>

(Depreciation expense per year = (Cost of the asset - Salvage value) ÷ Useful life.

The given data is -

The cost of asses is given as $64,000.

The salvage value is given as $10,000.

The sole price is $30,000.

Calculation for the depreciation-

Depreciation expense per year = ($64,000 Cost - $10,000 Salvage) ÷ (6 Year life)

Depreciation expense per year = $9,000

Accumulated depreciation on January 1, Year 5 = ($9,000 per year) × (4 years)

Accumulated depreciation on January 1, Year 5 = $36,000.

Book value = $64,000 Cost - $36,000 Accumulated depreciation

= $28,000

Gain on sale = $30,000 Sales price - $28,000 Book value

= $2,000)

Therefore, the gain on the scale is $2,000.

Suppose the price for an Lyft ride in Austin, TX decreases from $15 to $12 causing the quantity of rides demanded to increase fr

Inessa [10]

Answer:

Midpoint value of price elasticity of demand = -2.07

Explanation:

We know,

Midpoint value of price elasticity = $\frac{(Q_{2} - Q_{1})/[(Q_{2} + Q_{1})/2] }{(P_{2} - P_{1})/[(P_{2} + P_{1})/2] }$

Given,

Original Price, $P_{1}$ = $15

New Price, $P_{2}$ = $12

Original Quantity demanded, $Q_{1}$ = 1,000 units

New Quantity demanded, $Q_{2}$ = 1,600 units

Putting the value in the above midpoint formula, we can get

Midpoint value of price elasticity = $\frac{(1,600 - 1,000)/[(1,600 + 1,000)/2]}{(12-15)/[(12+15)/2]}$

Midpoint value of price elasticity = $\frac{600/1,300}{-3/13.5}$

Midpoint value of price elasticity = $\frac{0.46}{-0.22}$

Midpoint value of price elasticity of demand = -2.07
