Answer:

6.45 and luxury good

Explanation:

The computation of the income elasticity of demand using the mid point formula is shown below:

= (change in quantity demanded ÷ average of quantity demanded) ÷ (percentage change in income ÷ average of income)  

where,  

Change in quantity demanded is

= Q2 - Q1

= 5 - 3

= 2

And, average of quantity demanded is

= (5 + 3) ÷ 2

= 4

Change in income is

= P2 - P1

= $33,500 - $31,000

= $2,500

And, average of price would be

= ($33,500 + $31,000) ÷ 2

= $32,250

So, after solving this, the income elasticity of demand is 6.45 and it represent the luxury good as it is greater than one

Answer:

a) Accounts Receivable 2015 = $443,000 2014 = $515,600

b) Bad Debt Expense = $144,100

c) Gross sales = $6,083,300

d) Cash collected from Customers = $6,005,000

Explanation:

a and b are given.

c) Gross Sales = $6,076,500 + $6,800 = $6,083,300

d) Cash collected = opening balance in Account receivable + credit  Net sales - Bad debt - Closing balance in Accounts Receivables

                            = $515,600 + $6,076,500 - $144,100 - $443,000

                           =$6,005,000

Prepare the issuer's journal entry for each of the following separate transactions. On March 1, Atlantic Co. issues 43,500 share
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

Atlantic Co. Journal entries

a.

March 1

Dr Cash$300,500

Cr Common Stock $174,000

(43,500×4)

Cr Paid-in Capital$126,500

($300,000-$174,000)

(Record of common stock for cash)

b.

April 1

Dr Cash$72,000

Cr Common Stock$72,000

(Record of common stock for cash)

c.

April 6

Dr Inventory $41,000

Dr Machinery$145,000

Dr Note Receivable$91,000

Cr Common Stock$55,000

(2,200 shares *$25 per share)

Cr Paid-in Capital $222,000

($145,000+$91,000+$41,000=$277,000-$55,000= $222,000)

(To record Insurance for Inventory, machinery,and notes receivable)

Explanation:

Since On March 1 Atlantic Co. was said to issues 43,500 shares of $4 par value common stock for $300,500 this means that we have to

Debit Cash with $300,500 and Credit Common Stock with $174,000(43,500×4) as well as Credit Paid-in Capital with $126,500 ($300,000-$174,000)

On April 1, OP Co as well issues no-par value common stock for $72,000 cash this means we have to Debit Cash with $72,000 and Credit Common Stock with the same amount .

While On April 6, based on information given to us about MPG transaction, we have to record Insurance for Inventory, machinery,and notes receivable by Debiting each and Crediting common stock and paid in capital .

A manager reorders lubricant when the amount on hand reaches 422 pounds. Average daily usage is 45 pounds, which is normally dis
Snezhnost [94]

Answer: The risk of stock out = 2.94%

Explanation:

Reorder point is calculated as: Lead time*demand per unit time=45*9=405

While the amount on-hand reaches 422 pounds, the manager was reordering lubricant.

During the lead time, Standard Deviation of Demand =Daily S.D*(Lead time)^0.5=3*(9^0.5)=9

Risk of Stock Out=(422-405)/9 S.D=1.89 S.D

From Normal distribution curve 1.89 S.D=0.0294=2.94%

Therefore, the risk of stock out=2.94%

What happens to the price and quantity of dog treats if the demand for dog treats increases and the supply of dog treats increas
kumpel [21]

Answer:

Demand Increase = Supply Increase : No change in price, quantity increases

Demand Increase > Supply Increase: Price increase, quantity increase

Demand Increase < Supply Increase : Price decrease, quantity increase

Explanation:

Markets are at equilibrium where market demand = market supply. And, upward sloping supply curve intersects with downward sloping demand curve.

If both demand & supply of dog treats increase, the effect on change in price & quantity will depend on their relative magnitude

  • If increase in demand = Increase in Supply : Both the curves shift equivalently rightwards. At new equilibrium -  there is no change in price, as demand increase is fulfilled by supply increase. The equilibrium quantity increases
  • If increase in demand > Increase in Supply : Demand curve shifts more rightwards than supply curve. This creates excess demand & competition among buyers increase the new equilibrium price. The equilibrium quantity also increases.
  • If increase in demand < Increase in Supply : Supply curve shifts more rightwards than demand curve. This creates excess supply & competition among sellers reduce the new equilibrium price. The new equilibrium quantity increases.

As the average hourly wage increases from $22 per hour to $28 per hour, the quantity demanded of Americano coffees increases fro
KIM [24]

Answer:income elasticity of demand for Americano coffees = 0.55

Explanation:

Income Elasticitity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / Percentage change in income

which can easily be calculated using

Income Elasticitity of demand =(New quantity  demanded - old quantity demanded/ old quantity)/(New Income - Old income /old income.

new income = $28

old income=$22

new quantity= 3450

old quantity=3000

Bringing down our formulae

Income Elasticitity of demand =(New quantitry  demanded - old quantity demanded/ old quantity)/(New Income - Old income /old income.

= {(3450-3000) /3000} /{(28-22)/22} =(450/3000) /(6/22) = 0.15/0.2727=0.55

income elasticity of demand for Americano coffees = 0.55

Here , we can see that we have a positive income elasticity of demand therefore Americano coffees is a normal good as an increase in income will lead to a rise in demand.  Also, the income elasticity of demand for this commodity is less than 1, therefore it is also a necessity good.
