Answer:
The price elasticity of demand is 1.14.
The price is Elastic.
Elasticity is more than one so total revenue will fall.
Explanation:
Given the initial price of good x = $12
Final price of good x = $12.90
% change in price = [(12.90 - 12) / 12] x 100 = 7.5 %
Initial quantity = 5000
Final quantity = 4600
% change in quantity = [(4600 - 5000)/5000] x 100 = -8%
Elasticity = % change in quantity / % change in price
Elasticity = 8% / 7%
Elasticity = 1.14
The price elasticity of demand is 1.14.
The price is Elastic.
Since elasticity is more than one so total revenue will fall.

Answer: Cost of Goods sold
Explanation:
Common size analysis refers to making all entries in the income statement, a percentage of sales for that year.
Current Year Prior Year
Sales 100% 100%
Cost of Goods sold 75.7% 46.5%
Gross Profit 24.3% 53.5%
Operating expenses 17.3% 35%
Net Income 7.0% 18.5%
<em>Looking at the percentages above, one can see that the COGS increased the most from the previous year by going from 46.5% to 75.7% representing an increase of 29.2%.</em>
<em>This had the most impact on Net income as it substantially reduced Gross profit. </em>
Equilibrium is the point where supply meets demand. Look at the table and see where those two columns are the same.
For B. look at the chart and see at 1,50 rent (the first column) the demand is greater than supply or not. If demand is less than supply, there is a surplus. If demand is higher, there is a shortage.
This applies to question C as well. Look at the first column, find the rent, and see if there is more supply or more demand.
