<span>This means that there were customers that were wanting the Disney channel, but did not get it because it was too expensive. Once the price went down these customers bought the service. The cable company test showed that they should keep their prices for the Disney channel low to generate more revenue. Even if they only had one customer to begin with they would only be making $10.75, and when they lowed their prices they would be making at least $15.90.</span>

Lilit [14]

Answer:

Lerner index for Botox = 0.9

Explanation:

The Lerner index measures market power in an industry. The formula for calculating the Lerner index is: L = (P - MC) / P

Lerner index for Botox = ($15 - $1.50) / $15 = 0.9

0.9 in the Lerner index means that a company has a very large market power. Under this situation, this is quite logical since Allergen has a monopoly on Botox, at least until the patent expires.

The Lerner index varies between 0 and 1, with 0 being a situation of perfect competition and 1 a monopolistic situation.

Answer:

Dec 31, 2018

Interest expense                        3313.33 Dr

    Interest Payable                           3313.33 Cr

The note interest is payable at an annual rate of 4%. The interest will be paid at maturity however, an adjusting entry will be made on December 31, 2018 following the accrual basis of accounting to record the interest expense that relates to the period from November to December of 2018. The interest expense will be debited and as the interest will be paid at maturity, interest payable will be credited.

Interest expense = 497000 * 0.04 * 2/12   = $3313.33

One of the more important business applications of demand elasticity is the relationship between price and total revenue. For ea
user100 [1]

Answer:

Part 1.  inelastic.

Part 2. inelastic.

Part 3. inelastic.

Explanation:

When the coefficient of elasticity of demand is less than 1, demand is inelastic, when it is equal to 1, demand is unitary elastic, when it is greater than 1, demand is elastic, and when it is equal to zero demand is perfectly inelastic.

Part 1

Price Elasticity of demand =  (dQ/dP) x P/Q

  Where : dQ = Change in Quantity

               dP = Change in Price

                 P = Initial or Old price

                 Q = Initial of Old Quantity

               dQ = $35,000 - $40,000 = - $5,000

                dP = $10 - $8 = $2

                  P = $8  

                  Q = $40,000  

Price Elasticity of demand = (-$5,000/$2) * $8/ $40,000

                       = 2,500 * 1/5000 = -0.5

Disregard the minus sign,  since elasticity of demand is less than 1, demand is inelastic.

Part 2

Price Elasticity of demand =  (dQ/dP) x P/Q

                dQ = $1,800 - $2,000 = - $200

                dP = $50 - $40  = $10

                  P = $40

                  Q = $2,000  

Price Elasticity of demand = (-$200/$10) * $40/ $2,000

                       = 20 * 0.02 = -0.4

Disregard the minus sign,  since elasticity of demand is less than 1, demand is inelastic.

Part 3

Price Elasticity of demand =  (dQ/dP) x P/Q

                dQ = $120 - $150 = - $30

                dP = $5 - $4  = $1

                  P = $4

                  Q = $150

Price Elasticity of demand = (-$30/$1) * $4/ $150

                       = 30 * 2/75 = - 0.8

Disregard the minus sign  since elasticity of demand is less than 1, demand is inelastic.
