Label demand as elastic, unit elastic, or inelastic for each scenario. Use the midpoint method when applicable to calculate the

price elasticity of demand. Contain Yourself!, a plastic container company, raises the price of its signature Lunchbox container from $3.00 to $4.00 . As a result, the quantity sold drops from 20,000 to 15,000. Economists working for the United States have determined that the elasticity of demand for gasoline is 0.5 . Capital Metro decides to increase bus fare rates from $2.00 to $2.21 . Consequently, the number of passengers who decide to take the bus in Austin drops from an average of 70,000 riders a day to an average of 61,000 riders a day.

Answer:

  1. Contain Yourself!, a plastic container company, raises the price of its signature Lunchbox container from $3.00 to $4.00 . As a result, the quantity sold drops from 20,000 to 15,000 = unit elastic
  2. Economists working for the United States have determined that the elasticity of demand for gasoline is 0.5 = inelastic
  3. Capital Metro decides to increase bus fare rates from $2.00 to $2.21 . Consequently, the number of passengers who decide to take the bus in Austin drops from an average of 70,000 riders a day to an average of 61,000 riders a day = elastic

Explanation:

  1. The demand for unit elasticity is an intermediate situation between an elastic and an inelastic demand curve, in which the price elasticity is equal to one, which means that given variations in the price, the total income does not change (price per quantity). Eslasticity=1
  2. Demand is inelastic when the percentage variation of the quantity demanded is less than the percentage variation of the price. Elasticity less than 1
  3. Elastic demand is when a small variation in the price causes a more than proportional change in the quantity demanded. Elasticity more than 1

Consider a basket of consumer goods that costs $90 in the United States. The same basket of goods costs CNY 105 in China.
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

The real exchange rates that would result from the two nominal exchange rates are:

For the first row in the table RER is <u>6</u>.

For the second row in the table RER is <u>9</u>.

Note: See the attached excel file for the table.

Explanation:

Note: The table in the question is merged together. It is therefore sorted before answering the question. See the attached excel file for the sorted table.

The answer to the explanation to the answer is now provided as follows:

The real exchange rate (RER) between the the currencies of two counties can be described as the multiplication of the nominal exchange and the ratio of baskets of goods between these two countries.

RER can can therefore be calculated using the following formula:

RER = (e * P*) / P ................................. (1)

Where, from the question;

e = Nominal exchange rate or Yuan per dollar

P* = Cost of Basket in U.S (Dollars)  

P = Cost of Basket in China (Yuan)

For the first row in the table:

e = Nominal exchange rate or Yuan per dollar = 7

P* = Cost of Basket in U.S (Dollars)  = $90

P = Cost of Basket in China (Yuan) = 105

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

RER = (7 * 90) / 105

RER = 630 / 105

RER = 6

For the second row in the table:

e = Nominal exchange rate or Yuan per dollar = 10.50

P* = Cost of Basket in U.S (Dollars)  = $90

P = Cost of Basket in China (Yuan) = 105

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

RER = (10.50 * 90) / 105

RER = 945 / 105

RER = 9

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

a. Record the year-end adjusting entry for depreciation expense on the truck in T-accounts.

December 31, 202x, accrued depreciation expense on truck

Dr Depreciation expense 10,000

    Cr Accumulated depreciation - truck 10,000

b. Determine the book value of the truck that will appear on the December 31, Year 1, balance sheet.

Truck $46,000

c. Record the year-end adjusting entry of uncollectible accounts expense.

December 31, 202x, allowance for doubtful accounts

Dr Bad debt expense 16,000

    Cr Allowance for doubtful accounts 16,000

d. Determine the net realizable value of receivables that will appear on the December 31, Year 1, balance sheet.

Accounts receivable $52,000

Explanation:

truck's depreciation expense straight depreciation = ($56,000 - $6,000) / 5 years = $10,000 per year

accounts receivable balance December 31 = $68,000

allowance for doubtful accounts = $0

total sales on account = $320,000

5% of credit sales are uncollectible

accounts receivable = $68,000 - $16,000 = $52,000
