Answer:

0.37, the demand is inelastic.

Explanation:

% change in price = $6- $2 = ($2 / $6) * 100 = 33%

% change in demanda =  800 - 700 = (100/800) * 100 = 12.5%

PED = 12.5 / 33 = 0.37.

The formula to calculate the PED is %change in demand / %change in price, and if we apply the formula according to the information provided, we found that the PED is 0.37. If the PED is between 0 and 1, we can conclude that we have an inelastic demand.

Stagflation means that both the inflation and unemployment rate are rising.

Wood Dreams makes hand crafted furniture in its retail stores. The furniture maker has recently installed a new assembly process
Sophie [7]

Answer: 204.76%

Explanation:

In the earlier scenario, furniture maker manufactured 47 (42 non defective) pieces per 5 laborers working 8 hours day.

Thus, the productivity in terms of units per labor hour is as follows:

= \frac{42}{8\times5}

= 1.05

Similarly, after the process improvement, the productivity in units per labor hour would be:

= \frac{128}{8\times5}

= 3.2

Thus change in productivity would be calculated as:

=\frac{3.2-1.05}{1.05}\times100

= 2.047 × 100

= 204.76%

Thus, the productivity of non defective parts would increase by 204.76%.
