Answer:

Option A is correct

Price elasticity of demand =0.6

Explanation:

<em>Price elasticity of demand (PED) is the degree of responsiveness of demand to a change in price.  </em>

<em>Where a percentage change in price produces a more than a proportional change in quantity, we say the product is price elastic. On the other hand, where a change in price produces a less than a proportional change in quantity demand, then demand is price inelastic  </em>

PED is computed as follows:  

PED = % change in quantity /% change in Price

% change in demand = (100-80)/100 × 100 = 20%  

% change in price =(0.75-1)/0.75 × 100 = 33.33%

PED = 20%/33.33% = 0.600

Price elasticity of demand =0.6

Answer:

E) $45,375

Explanation:

This is because Authorized shares are the total shares that the company can issue.

There is a difference between issued and outstanding shares of 500 shares, this may be because these shares are currently held by the company itself and thus dividends are payable only on outstanding shares

This gives us 27,500 * 1.65 = $43,375
