Answer:

The income elasticity of demand for chocolate by this consumer is about 1.90

Explanation:

the change in quantity = (6 - 5)/(6 + 5)

                                      = 0.091

the change in income = (330 - 300)/(330 + 300)

                                     = 0.048

the income elasticity = 0.091/0.048

                                   = 1.90

Therefore, The income elasticity of demand for chocolate by this consumer is about 1.90

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

D1 = $1(1+0.25) = 1.25

D2 = $1.25(1+0.25) = 1.5625

D3 = $1.5625(1+0.25) = 1.953

D4 = $1.953(1+0.25) = $2.05

Current value = P0 =

= 1.25/(1+0.18) + 1.5625/(1+0.18)^2 + 1.953/(1+0.18)^3 + 2.05/(0.18-0.05) * (1+0.18)^(-3) =

=$12.96

Current value of the stock is 12.96

Dogs R US uses the perpetual inventory system to account for its merchandise. On May 1, it returned $50 of merchandise due to a
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

F. Debit Accounts Payable $50.

B. Credit Merchandise Inventory $50.

Explanation:

As the company uses perpetual Inventory System, the journal entry to record the purchase return will be -

Debit           Accounts Payable             $50

Credit          Merchandise Inventory    $50

As the purchase was on credit, cash would not be either debit or credit. As the Merchandise Inventory returned to the suppliers, inventory was decreased. Hence, inventory will not be debit. Accounts payable was reduced too. Therefore, accounts payable will not be credit. Purchase returns are used in the periodic inventory system.

The demand for yak butter is given by 150 – 3pd and the supply is 3ps – 30, where Pa is the price paid by demanders and ps is th
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

1) Attached

2) 150-3p = 3p-30

3) P=30, Q=60

4) 150-3p = 3p-90

5) P=40 and Q=30

6) Ps=Pd+10

7) P=35, Q=45

8) P=45, Q=45

Explanation:

We can write the equation for the quantity demanded as:

Q_d=150-3p_d

And the equation for the quantity supplied as:

Q_s=3p_s-30

1) Attached

2) The equilibrium price can be calculated by making the quantity supplied equal to quantity demanded:

Q_s=Q_d\\\\3p-30=150-3p\\\\6p=150+30=180\\\\p=180/6=30

3) The equilibrium price is P=30.

The equilibrium quantity can be calculated as:

Q_s=150-3*30=150-90=60

The equilibrium quantity is Q=60.

4) The supply now becomes:

Q'_s=3p_s-90

The equation for the new equilibrium price is:

Q_d=Q'_s\\\\150-3p=3p-90\\\\6p=150+90=240\\\\p=240/6=40

Qd=150-3*40=150-120=30

5) The new equilibrium is at p=40 and Q=30

6) They will receive

p_s=p_d+subsidy=p_d+10

7)  In this case, the quantity supplied becomes:

Q_s=3p_s-90=3(p+10)-90=3p+30-90=3p-60

The new price equilibrium becomes P=35:

Q_s=Q_d\\\\3p-60=150-3p\\\\6p=150+60\\\\p=210/6=35

The quantity for this equilibrium is Q=45:

Q_d=150-3*35=150-105=45

8) Now, the equations for demand and supply are:

Q_s=3p-90\\\\Q_d=150-3(p-10)=150-3p+30=180-3p

The equilibrium price and quantity becomes:

Q_d=Q_s\\\\180-3p=3p-90\\\\6p=180+90\\\\p=270/6=45\\\\\\Q_d=180-3*45=180-135=45
