The Commerce Ministry of a country conducts regular surveys on goods and services sold within the country. Researchers at the Mi

nistry study consumer behavior through the choices the consumers make while deciding what to buy.

Answer:

The correct option is C.

Explanation: Price elasticity is the measure of the rate of change in the level of quantity demanded due to a change in the level of price.

Price elasticity is usually negative, this means that it follows the law of demand; as price increases quantity demanded decreases.

Also, another incidence that can affect price elasticity is an availability of cheaper alternatives. If cheaper alternatives of a particular product are introduced into the market, the demand for that product will reduce, because consumers will abandon it for its cheaper alternatives, thereby driving the elasticity of that product higher.

Therefore, in the scenario given above, the elasticity is higher than -1.2 because there are new brands that have just been introduced into the market.

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

$23.6 per share

Explanation:

Given that,

Total common equity = $5,500,000

Shares outstanding = 250,000

Net income = $525,000

Dividends paid out = $125,000

Total value at the end:

= Total common equity + Net income - Dividends paid out

= $5,500,000 + $525,000 - $125,000

= $5,900,000

Therefore,

Book value per share at 2014 year end:

= Total value at the end ÷ No. of shares outstanding

= $5,900,000 ÷ 250,000

= $23.6 per share
