Answer:
2.2
Explanation:
The formula for calculating price elasticity using the midpoint method is:
midpoint method = {(Q2 - Q1) / [(Q2 + Q1) / 2]} / {(P2 - P1) / [(P2 + P1) / 2]}
midpoint method = {(150 - 100) / [(150 + 100) / 2]} / {(1.20 - 1) / [(1.20 + 1) / 2]}
midpoint method = [50 / (250 / 2)] / [0.20 / (2.20 / 2)] = (50 / 125) / (0.20 / 1.1)
midpoint method = 0.4 / 0.19 = 2.2
The advantage of using the midpoint method to calculate price elasticity is that we can calculate the price elasticity between two points, and it doesn't matter if the price increases or decreases.
If we calculate price elasticity using the single point formula:
price elasticity = % change in quantity supplied / % change in price = 50% / 20% = 2.5

Answer
Hi,
Progressive tax assesses a taxpayer’s ability to pay. Higher rates are on the wealthy than on the poor.
Explanation
Those considered poor according to a country’s definition have families who spend larger shares of their income on the cost of living thus all money they earn is needed to afford basic needs thus face a decreased progressive tax. On the other hand, the progressive tax imposed on wealthy individuals decrease their abilities to purchase more luxury items or invest in stock.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales:
April 45,000
May 38,000
June 42,000
Each unit requires one pound of raw material. Saphire's policy is to have 30% of the following month's production needs for materials in inventory.
A) Budgeted production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Budgeted production:
Sales=38,000
Ending inventory= 42,000*0.3= 12,600
Beginning inventory= 38,000*0.3= (11,400)
Total= 39,200
B) Desired beginning inventory= budgeted sales*30%
Beginning inventory= 42,000*0.3= 12,600
