Recently, Verizon Wireless ran a pricing trial in order to estimate the elasticity of demand for its services. The manager selec

ted three states that were representative of its entire service area and increased prices by 5 percent to customers in those areas. One week later, the number of customers enrolled in Verizon’s cellular plans declined 4 percent in those states, while enrollments in states where prices were not increased remained flat. The manager used this information to estimate the own-price elasticity of demand and, based on her findings, immediately increased prices in all market areas by 5 percent in an attempt to boost the company’s 2016 annual revenues. One year later, the manager was perplexed because Verizon's 2016 annual revenues were 10 percent lower than those in 2015—the price increase apparently led to a reduction in the company’s revenues.

Answer:Yes, the Manager made an error.

Explanation:

Increasing the revenue of a firm depends on two factors which are price and effective demand. An increase in price without a fall in demand will increase revenue, an increase in demand without a fall in price will equally increase revenue.

However when manipulating price only in order to increase revenue care must be taken to ensure same or higher level of demand for an increase in price which lead to a fall in demand may boomerang for the firm.

E.g

Year. $ Price. Demand. Revenue$

1. 5. 100. 500

2. 6. 80. 480

The above illustrate an increase in price without a rise or maintaining the same level of demand leads fall in revenue.

Paula Reid is the manager at the Miami office of the U.S. Secret Service who set in motion a major prostitution scandal by repor
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

The answer is: She used the justice approach, realizing that the greater good is served because people learn to help each other in their own interest.

Explanation:

Justice approach: an ethical decision is a decision that distributes benefits and costs (or punishments) among those involved in a fair, equitable, and impartial way.

Paula used this approach because she believed the agents had acted improperly and that they were harming the US Secret Service.

I consider any organization a team, so in order for it to work well its members must be respected both by their peers and by the other teams´ members. If you consider the various types of activities this specific agency carries out, other not so friendly "teams" (other secret services or even terrorists) could use this type of information to damage or compromise those activities. So the well being of all the country was being jeopardized by a group of bad agents.

When the market rate is 10%, a company issues $60,000 of 12%, 10-year bonds dated January 1, 2017, that mature on December 31, 2
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Credit, $60,000

Explanation:

Given,

Market rate = 10%

Face value $60,000 = Principal value.

When the bonds mature, the issuer records its payment of principal with credit to cash in the amount of principal value that is $60,000 because the bondholder will pay the principal with interest.

Therefore,

Bondholder will pay the $60,000 issued amount as principal because there is an additional interest amount needs to be paid.

It is credit because it is matured on the date of cash payment.
