Answer: Jimmy's Peanut Farm has to decrease its prices by 2.5% in order to achieve a 1% increase in the quantity of peanuts it sells.

Jimmy's Peanut Farm can increase the quantity sold by 1% only when the demand for peanuts increases. Demand for peanuts will increase only when the price of peanuts decrease. The Price Elasticity of Demand measures the responsiveness of demand to a percentage change in price.

The formula for Price Elasticity of Demand (PED) is given by the formula:

\mathbf{PED = \frac{percentage change in quantity}{percentage change in price}}

We have:

Percentage increase in quantity               1%  or 0.01

Price Elasticity of Demand (PED)               0.40

Re-arranging the PED formula above we get,

\mathbf{percentage change in price}= \frac{percentage change in quantity}{PED} *100}

Substituting the values in the equation above we get,

{percentage change in price} = \frac{0.01}{0.4}*100 =2.5

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer: Option B

             

Explanation: In simple words, acceptance speech refers to the speech  that is made by an individual generally after receiving award or similar honor as such.

In such a speech the receiving party shows gratitude and tries to connect with their audience by showing sentiments and proud of receiving the award. These speeches are  usually very brief and to the point but sometimes an extension is made by the deceiving party, stating some past events or making motivational statements to the audience.

In the given case, Carlos revived the award and thanked the school authority. Hence from the above we can conclude that the correct option is B.

Faith Cassen has recently been hired as the manager of Gibraltar Coffee Shop. Gibraltar Coffee Shop is a national chain of franc
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

a.       I Disagree with Faith's method of handling this situation because she has not followed the internal control principle of safeguarding of assets. Stealing is a serious issue. An employee who can justify taking a box of tea bags can probably justify “borrowing” cash from the cash register.

b.      I Agree with Faith's method of handling this situation because Faith has followed the internal control principle of assignment of responsibility by making one employee responsible for the cash drawer and followed the internal control principle of segregation of duties (preparing the orders) from the accounting (taking orders and payments).

c.       I disagree with Faith's method of handling this situation because Faith has not followed the internal control principle of segregation of duties. It is true that faith has made one employee responsible however after cash counting another employee or Faith himself remove the cash register tape and compare the balance with cash drawer for effective internal control. Also, Faith’s standard of no mistakes may encourage the cashiers to overcharge a few customers in order to cover any possible shortages in the cash drawer.
