Answer:

-4.3; inelastic

Explanation:

Initial price = $6.45

Initial quantity demanded = 600

New price = $6.95

New quantity demanded = 400

Percentage change in Quantity demanded:

= (Change in quantity demanded ÷ Initial quantity demanded) × 100

= [(400 - 600) ÷ 600] × 100

= (-200 ÷ 600) × 100

= 0.3333 × 100

= -33.33%

Percentage change in price:

= (Change in price ÷ Initial price) × 100

= [($6.95 - $6.45) ÷ $6.45] × 100

= ($0.5 ÷ $6.45) × 100

= 0.0775 × 100

= 7.75%

Therefore, the price elasticity of demand is as follows:

= Percentage change in quantity demanded ÷ Percentage change in price

= -33.33 ÷ 7.75

= -4.3

Hence, the price elasticity of demand is inelastic.

If a product is repaired under warranty, the seller would record a journal entry that includes a ________.a. debit to Product Wa
Anastaziya [24]

Answer: Debit to Product Warranty Payable

Explanation: Product Warranty Payable is a liability account that has a credit balance. To increase a liability a credit is recorded while to reduce a liability a debit is recorded to the liability.

The seller maintains the warranty as a liability and initially records a debit to its product warranty expense and a credit to its product warranty Payable.

When a repair is done on a product under warranty, the seller records a debit to the product warranty Payable to reduce it’s liability.

Also, a debit to either supplies or cash will increase the expense and assets accounts respectively which will amount to incorrect journal entries.

Great Adventures Problem
andrew11 [14]

Answer and Explanation:

The Journal entry is shown below:-

Amount should be capitalized for new vehicle = Cost + Painting and new logo cost + Deluxe Roof rack and trailer hitch

= $15,600 + $6,600 + $2,900

= $25,100

We took the cost of painting and deluxe roof and trailer hitch costs into account as they are supposed to increase the vehicle's future benefits.

Depreciation = (Cost - Salvage Value) ÷ Number of Years

= ($25,100 - $6,300) ÷ 5

= $3,760 per year

In the year 2022 vehicle is used only for 6 months (July to Dec), depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2022 is

= $3,760 × 6 ÷ 12

= $1,880

So, the Journal entry is

Depreciation expense Dr, $1,880

         To Accumulated Depreciation $1,880

(Being depreciation provided for the year 2022 is recorded)

Therefore for recording the depreciation provided for the year 2022 we simply debited the depreciation expenses while we credited the accumulated depreciation.
