<span>If
a competitive firm can sell a ton of steel for $500 a ton and it has an average
variable cost of $400 a ton, and the marginal cost is $600 a ton, the firm
should reduce its output. The reason for the reduction of output is the
marginal cost it will have. The marginal cost exceeds the selling price of the
product which is a bad sign for the company.</span>
Answer:
D. 5.00
Explanation:
The calculation of current ratio is given below :-
Current Ratio = Current Assets ÷ Current Liabilities
where,
Current Asset = cash + account receivable + office supply
= $400 + $1000 + $600
= $2,000
and the Current Liabilities is
= Account payable + salary payable
= $300 + $100
= $400
So, the current ratio is
= $2,000 ÷ $400
= 5 times
Initial price, P₀ = $1.25
Initial demand, Q₀ = 30 million
New price, P₁ = $1.75
New demand, Q₁ = 35 million
By definition, price elasticity is

η = (5/65)/(0.5/3)
= 0.4615
Answer: η = 0.46 (nearest hundredth)
This means that greater demand makes it possible to increase the price. Usually, this is not the case because lowering the price increases sales.
