Answer:
From the list of options, Option A is the only correct one:
"the actual usage of materials was less than the standard allowed".
Explanation:
<em>Material usage variance</em>
A material usage variance occurs when the standard quantity required to active a particular level of production is higher or lower than than the actual actual quantity used. A favorable variance would mean than less quantity of materials were used than the standard to achieve a given output level. And an adverse variance would mean the opposite.
<em>Material price variance</em>
A material price variance occurs where materials are purchased at a price either lower or higher than the standard price. A favorable variance is recorded where the actual total cost of materials is lower that the standard cost. While an adverse variance implies the opposite.
From the list of options, Option A is the only correct one
Answer:
1. Responsive
2. Elastic
Explanation:
When the price elasticity of demand for a good is very elastic, quantity demanded is RESPONSIVE to a change in price and the demand curve is relatively ELASTIC.
This is because the price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of the quantity demanded to a change in price.
Consequently, as the quantity demanded changes, the demand curve then becomes relatively elastic, by shifting either to the right or left.

1) more expensive compared to other marketing strategy
2) time consuming during sales calls or talks.
3) can be inconvenient or intrusive to clients or consumers.
The ratio of the percentage
change in the quantity demanded of a good to a percentage change in its price
refers to the price elasticity of demand.
<span>To add, price elasticity of demand (PED or Ed) is a measure used
in economics to show the responsiveness, or elasticity, of the quantity
demanded of a good or service to a change in its price, ceteris paribus.</span>
