Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

This situation is an example of cross Price elasticity of Demand

Explanation:

If change in Price in Rental Company A doesn't necessitate change in prices in Rental companies B.C.D.E & F

Then the products A has on offer are not close substitutes to the rival companies

However where Rental company G lowers his price and it immediately triggers a Price reduction in Companies B to F, then obviously they offer similar products that are close substitutes and serve similar segment or channel of the Market Size. Thus failure to lower their Price will automatically see Customers rent cars more from Company G.

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

 a) production units = 450,000

b) Amount of raw materials = 1,010,000.

Explanation:

The production budget is computed as follows;

Production budget = Sales budget + closing inventory - opening inventory

Production budget= 480,000 + 50,000 - 80,000

                              = 450,000 units

<em>The raw material purchase budget is the amount of material to be purchased to accommodate production need and inventory of materials to be kept.</em>

Purchase budget = usage budget + closing inventory - opening inventoy

Purchase budget = (2× 500,000) + 45,000 - 35,000

                       =  1,010,000.
