Answer:

3

Explanation:

We are asked to use the midpoint formula.

Here, instead of dividing the change in values by the old value as in the normal elasticity calculation, we use the average of the two.

Mathematically:

Price elasticity of demand according to midpoint formula is :

{Q2 - Q1 / (Q2 + Q1) ÷ 2] × 100%} ÷ {[P2 - P1/ (P2 + P1) ÷ 2] × 100}

Price changed from 5 to 7. The midpoint of 5 and 7 is the average = (5+7)/2 = 6

% change in price in this case is (7-5)/6 * 100 = 100/3 = 33.33%

% change in quantity:

We first find the average = (12+4)/2 = 16/2 = 8

% change = (4-12)/8 * 100 = -100%

The elasticity of demand is thus -100/33.33 = 3

FedEx Corp stock ended the previous year at $103.39 per share. It paid a $0.35 per share dividend last year. It ended last year
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

$730 and 3.53%

Explanation:

Given that

Initial Price = $103.39

Ending Price = $106.69

Dividend Paid = $0.35

Number of Shares owned = 200

The computation of the dollar return and the percent return is shown below:

Dollar return is

= [0.35 + ($106.69 - $103.39)] × 200

= $730

And, the percentage return is

= $730 ÷ (200 × $103.39)

= 3.53%

When total cost or total variable cost is​ increasing, there are increasing marginal returns to the variable input.
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

The correct answer is (B) False.

Explanation:

Variable costs, as the name implies, differ with the level of production and are associated with the use of variable factors, such as labor and raw materials. Since the amounts of factors increase as production increases, variable costs increase when it does.

amid [387]

Answer:

correct option is A. $5,087

Explanation:

given data

March 1, 2016, inventory: 1,000 gallons @ $7.20 = $7,200

Purchases                                        amount                 Sales  

Mar. 10               600 gals @ $7.25      4350          Mar. 5 400 gals

Mar. 16               800 gals @ $7.30       5840          Mar. 14 700 gals

Mar. 23              600 gals @ $7.35        4410          Mar. 20 500 gals

                                                                                    Mar. 26   700 gals

total                         3000 @7.267          21800

cost of good sold   2300 @ 7.267         16714

so

balance is =  3000 - 2300 = 700 @ 7.267

ending inventory is $5087

so correct option is A. $5,087
