Answer:price elasticity of demand for Dunkin Donuts’ regular coffee is 1.8

Explanation: Using the midpoint formnulae

Price elasticity of Demand =percentage change in quantity demanded/ Percentage change in price.

Percentage change in quantity = new quantity  - old quantity  / (new quantity + old quantity)/2  x 100

= 40-10/(40+10)/ 2 = 30 /25 = 1.2 x 100 =120%

Percentage change in price  = new price   - old price   / new price + old price)/2   x 100

= 1- 2 / (1+2)/2= -1/1.5x 100 = -66.67 %

Price elasticity of Demand =percentage change in quantity demanded/ Percentage change in price.

= 120%/-66.67%= -1.79 = -1.8

For Price elasticity of demand, the sign is not included and the basis for elasticity is on the value itself . here we can conclude that the Price elasticity of demand for Dunkin donut is 1.8 and elastic because a fall in price led to an increase in amount being sold.

Volgvan

Answer:

1 +1R4= {(1 +1R3)(1 + E(4r1) +L4)}1/4

1.0500 = {(1.0475)^3(1 + 0.0525 +L4)}1/4

(1.0500)^4= (1.0475)3^(1 + 0.0525 +L4)

(1.0500)^4/(1.0475)^3= 1 + 0.0525 + L4

(1.0500)4/(1.0475)^3-1.0525

L4= .0050358564 = 0.504%

7. Which of the following is NOT a function of money * 3 points A Unit of account B Store of value C Protection against inflatio
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

C Protection against inflation

Explanation:

As we know that there are three functions of money i.e.

1. Unit of account

2. Store of value

3. Medium of exchange

There is only 3 functions of money that are shown above

So the protection against inflation would not be considered for the same

And, these 3 would represent the functions of money and can be treated as the unit of account, store of value and the medium of exchange

Hence, the option c is correct

Hale Company sells merchandise on account for $1,000 to Long Company with credit terms of 2/10, n/30. Long Company returns $200
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

Amount of Check = $784

so correct option is a. $784

Explanation:

given data

Merchandise on account = $1,000

Long Company returns  = $200

credit terms =  2/10

n/30

to find out

What is the amount of the check

solution

we know here that Total Merchandise will be

Total Merchandise = Merchandise on account  - returns   ....................1

Total Merchandise = $1000 - $200

Total Merchandise = $800

and

discount will be here

Discount = 0.02  ×  800

returns = $16

so

Amount of Check will be as

Amount of Check = Total Merchandise - Discount   ...................2

put here value

Amount of Check = Total Merchandise - Discount  

Amount of Check = $800 - $16

Amount of Check = $784

so correct option is a. $784
