In Rick's PPI, he notes the description, location, cost, and time of purchase. What is he missing?

Response:

There will be an increase in equilibrium quantity, but the impact on equilibrium price remains uncertain.

Note:

Due to the scientists' discovery, demand for oranges will rise, as will the price.

Additionally, the introduction of new fertilizers will boost the supply of oranges, leading to a price decrease.

Taking both of these factors into account indicates that there will be a rise in equilibrium quantity, while the effect on equilibrium price cannot be determined.

Response:

cash   110,000 debit

  land                   100,000 credit

  gain from disposal  10,000 credit

--to document the land sale--

accounts payable 80,000 debit

               cash               80,000 credit

--to record the settlement of debts--

gain from disposal 10,000 debit

                Morgan           7,500 credit

                Halsted          2,500 credit

--to allocate gains from sale--

Morgan 22,500

Halsted    7,500

   Cash                30,000

--to dissolve the partnership--

Clarification:

ratio 3:1 (3+1=4)

Morgan  15,000 share of 3/4 = 75%

Halsted   5,000 share of 1/4 = 25%

a gain of 10,000 from the sale is shared as follows

Morgan 10,000 x 75% =  7,500

Halsted 10,000 x 25% =   2,500

Next, we close the accounts against cash
