The correct answer is that the price elasticity of demand is elastic.

Price elasticity occurs when a change in price results in a change in demand. In this example, a 20 percent increase in the price of the drinks resulted in a 25 percent decrease in the demand for the product. Because the price increase resulted in a demand decrease the price is elastic.

Answer:

A) (20-(x-10)) (x-6) = -x^2 +36x-180

B)In order to maximize the weekly profit the feeder price should be $80 and the weekly profit will be $144

Explanation

A)Let's consider they priced each feeder dollar x then the gain (price minus cost) of each feeder is (x-6). With the price of Dollar 10 they can sell 20 per week.

For every dollar increase in price they will lose two sales so total sale is

(10-(x-10)) .By multiplying the number of sales of feeder with profit of each feeder sold we get total revenue y i.e.

Y=(x-6)(20-(x-10))

=(x-6) (30-x)

= -x^2+36x-180

B) compare above equation with quadratic equation we get;

a=-1 , b=36 , c= -180

A quadratic function has minimum or maximum at point -b/2a ,so revenue is increased for feeder price.

x= b/2a = 36/2(-1) = $18

AND

Maximum weekly profit is

Y(18) = (18-6) (30-18)

=$144

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

Based on the information provided it can be said that the investment adviser should recognize that the customer's request is not within the scope of the adviser's expertise and retain an outside investment counsel. A "passive" investment manager believes in results generated by a diversified portfolio over one of individually selected stocks. Since the individual wants the adviser to choose the stocks, then the adviser has the responsibility to step back due to his lack of expertise selecting an individual stock portfolio and advise the individual to retain another investment advisor.
