Answer:

Elastic which is more than 1.

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand is the responsive relationship of quantity demanded when compared to price. It measures how much change there would be in demand if Price were to change.

The raise in prices yielded a fall in revenue because the demand for tickets was elastic. (More than 1)

An elastic demand means that a small change in price will cause a more than proportionate change in qty demanded and hence with an increase in price, far less people purchased the ticket.

An inelastic demand however would have caused less people to give up tickets and raised overall revenues.

Hope that helps.

As a result of an increase in the growth rate of the money supply: __________
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

Real GDP growth increases only in the short run, and the inflation rate increases in both the short run and the long run.

Explanation:

An increase in the growth rate of money supply will result in an increase in inflation in both the short run and the long run.

Long run growth of the real GDP growth depends on the effective use of resources and technology, not the money supply.  

A small increase in the money supply is always needed to support economic growth, that is why one of the few ideas that most economists agree upon is that the inflation rate should be between 1.5 - 2% per year.

Answer:

Revenue and spending variance is Unfavourable

Activity variance is favourable

Explanation:

We need to determine Revenue and Spending Variance and Activity Variance.

Revenue and Spending Variance = difference between actual result and flexible budget. The above variance may be favourable or unfavorable or none

In the case of revenue, if the actual result figure is higher than the flexible budget, the revenue and expenditure variance is favorable and vice versa.

In case of expenses, if actual result figure is higher than flexible budget the revenue and spending variance is  unfavorable and vice a versa.

F is for Favourable

U is for Unfavourable

N is for None

Activity Variance  = difference between flexible budget and planning budget . The above variance may be favourable or unfavorable or none

Actual Result Revenue and Spending Variance  Flexible Budget Activity Variance  Planning Budget

The benchmark PE of the organization is 15

We are required to find which stock price would be most appropriate

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

d. Fall to $1.47

Explanation:

currently you will need $1,500 to purchase £1,000 and invest in British bonds. After 65 months you will have £1,040, which you should be able to convert into $1,544.40. If you invested in US bonds, you would have $1,530, so this arbitrage will yield $14.40.

But if instead the British pound fell to $1.47, then your profit would only be $28.80, less than if you invested in US bonds. You again would have £1,040 in 6 months, but that would only be equal to $1,528.80.
