Answer:

A) Price elasticity of demand = 8

B) PED is elastic

C) increase Danny's total revenue

Explanation:

we can calculate the price elasticity of demand using the formula:

PED = % change in quantity demanded / % change in price = [(300 - 100) / 100] / [(1.5 - 2) / 2] = (200 / 100) / (-0.5 / 2) = 2 / 0.25 = 8

if the PED is the same when the price decreases from $1 to $0.50, total revenue will    :

  • when price = $1.50, total revenue = $1.50 x 300 = $450
  • when price = $1, total revenue = $1 x 1,100 = $1,100

*a 33.33% decrease in the price will cause a 266.6% increase (= 33.33% x 8) increase in the quantity demanded = 300 units + (300 x 266.6%) = 300 + 800 = 1,100 units

This is IF a person has kept the amount in the account for his required five year tax period rule. If this condition has been met, the total penalty would be $ 2000.00</span>

Why net profit will be higher if increases average prices to customers?​
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Higher prices with same sales quantity will mean greater profit.

Explanation:

Let's hold some variables constant. If a business sells books, and they take the prices up, if they sell the same quantity (at higher prices) this would increase revenues. Higher revenues, less the same cost structure (variable and fixed costs) will lead to a greater profit generation. Of course in the real world, price elasticity of demand comes in play when prices are changed. If prices go up, typically sales quantity will decrease and there may be a net effect in revenue and hence profit. In the simple case where prices go up and sales quantity is unaffected, net profit will rise.
