Initial price, P₀ = $1.25
Initial demand, Q₀ = 30 million

New price, P₁ = $1.75
New demand, Q₁ = 35 million

By definition, price elasticity is
\eta = \frac{(Q_{1}-Q_{0})/(Q_{1}+Q_{0})}{(P_{1}-P_{0})/(P_{1}+P_{0})}
η = (5/65)/(0.5/3)
   = 0.4615

Answer: η = 0.46 (nearest hundredth)

This means that greater demand makes it possible to increase the price. Usually, this is not the case because lowering the price increases sales.

WINSTONCH [101]

Lower; unchanged

  • Average total cost (ATC) in economics is calculated as total fixed and variable costs divided by the number of units produced. The normal shape of the average total cost curve is a U, meaning it drops, bottoms out, and then rises. The total cost of an organization is the sum of its fixed and variable costs.
  • The vertical summation of AFC and AVC must be obtained in order to graph average total costs (ATC). Plot the points as shown on the left after adding the two at each output level. Because it is the result of adding the AFC and AVC curves, the ATC curve is higher than the other two. You can see that it is U-shaped, just like the AVC curve, on the left.

Thus this is the answer.

Sub-prime loan company is thinking of opening a new office, and the key data are shown below.
Nookie1986 [14]
To complete the above question, please see below:

Sub-Prime Loan Company is thinking of opening a new office, and the key data are shown below. The company owns the building that would be used, and it could sell it for $100,000 after taxes if it decides not to open the new office. The equipment for the project would be depreciated by the straight-line method over the project's 3-year life, after which it would be worth nothing and thus it would have a zero salvage value. No change in net operating working capital would be required, and revenues and other operating costs would be constant over the project's 3-year life. What is the project's NPV? (Hint: Cash flows are constant in Years 1-3.) 

<span>WACC 10.0% </span>
<span>Opportunity cost $100,000 </span>
<span>Net equipment cost (depreciable basis) $65,000 </span>
<span>Straight-line depreciation rate for equipment 33.333% </span>
<span>Annual sales revenues $123,000 </span>
<span>Annual operating costs (excl. depreciation) $25,000 </span>
<span>Tax rate 35%
</span>
The answer is <span>12,271</span>

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

Evidence based.

Explanation:

Evidence: It is something that furnishes proof or testimony or something legally submitted to ascertain in the truth of matter.

Evidence basedis the conscientious (effort), explicit (clarity) and judicious (critical of quality) use of the best available evidence from multiple sources to increase the likelihood of a favourable outcome.

Characteristics:

- It’s about the process

- It’s not about certainties (this will work)

- It’s is about probabilities and likelihoods

- It is about reducing uncertainty (given our context this is more likely to lead to the outcome we want than doing something else or doing nothing)
