Answer:

The correct answer is C) "elastic, and the price elasticity of supply is 1.74"

Explanation:

Formula:

( (Qf - Qi) ÷ ((Qf + Qi) ÷ 2) )             ÷             ( (Pf - Pi) ÷ ((Pf + Pi) ÷ 2) )

       Quantity                                                                 Price

Lets remplace:

Qi = Initial Quantity = 125 boxes

Qf = Final Quantity = 145 boxes

Pi = Initial Price = $2.25

Pf=  Final Price = $2.45

Quantity                                                                   Price

(145 - 125) ÷ ((145 + 125) ÷ 2)      ÷     (2.45-2.25) ÷ ((2.45+2.25)÷ 2)

= (20) ÷ (270÷ 2)                                           = (0.2) ÷  (4.7 ÷ 2)

= 20 ÷  135                                                    = 0.2 ÷ 2.35

= 0.148                                                          = 0.085

Finally:  we divide the result of quantity into the result of price

= 0.148 ÷ 0.085

= 1.74

To classify into elastic or inelastic:

When Pes > 1, then supply is price elastic

When Pes < 1, then supply is price inelastic

When Pes = 0, supply is perfectly inelastic

Answer:  <em>Elastic, and the price elasticity of supply is 1.74</em>

Should any of these ratios or the change in a ratio warrant concern for the managers of Tyler Toys or the​ shareholders? ​(Selec
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

<u>C. The company has a very poor turnover of assets and collects its receivables​ quickly; thus there are some concerns from these ratios. D</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Let's be mindful that turnover here refers to <em>revenue</em>, while receivables​  refer to<em> amounts owed to the company</em>.  So, If the company has a very poor turnover of assets it means it isn't making much revenue, and it is collecting its receivables​ quickly implying there are some concerns (imbalances) from these ratios.

Therefore, the managers of Tyler Toys or the​ shareholders need to work out a solution.

Suppose the demand function (D) for golf clubs is: Q = 240-1.00P, where P is the price paid by consumers in dollars per club and
bogdanovich [222]

Solution :

According to the theory of demand and supply, the equilibrium price and the quantity is established where both the demand and supply curves intersect.

From the graph, we can see that the point of equilibrium is at the intersection of D and S.

At this point, mathematically, D = S. In order to determine the price and quantity which exists at this point, we need to equate the demand as well as supply functions to calculate the equilibrium values.

∵ D is equal to S, we have

$240-1.00P=1.00P$

240=2P

120=P

Now substituting this value of the equilibrium price in to any of the functions, we get the equilibrium quantity at this price.

$Q=240-1.00P$

$Q=240-1.00(120)$

$Q=240-120$

$Q=120$

This is the equilibrium quantity. At this point, equilibrium price as well as the quantity is the same. Let the price of the golf club increases from $120 to $140. So substituting the value to the function above to determine the new quantity.

$Q = 240-1.00(140)$

   = 100

Therefore, when the demanded quantity decreases from 120 thousand clubs to 100 thousand clubs. This increases the price and decreases the quantity as the supply curve moved to the left. The demand remains constant.

         income summary     29,000 credit

income sumamry  10,520 debit

    operating expenses 6,200 credit

    income tax expense 4,320 credit

income summary 18,480 debit

       retained earnings     18,480 credit

Explanation:

To close the temporary account we will use an auxiliar account called income summary.

We will post expense in the credit against income summary in the debit

for revenues we will do the other way around, debit aainst income summary on credit.

Last, we transfer the balcne of this account into retained earnigns.

<u>balance of retained earnings: </u>

29,000  - 10,520 = 18,480

A.Find the circumference of the tire.
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

Most common automobile tires are within a few inches of 25″ in diameter, so they cover 2π × 25″ ≈ 157″, or about 13 feet in a complete revolution. So to cover a mile, which is 5280 feet, they'd have to rotate 5280/13 ≈ 406 times.
