The price elasticity of supply for basmati rice (an aromatic strain of rice) is likely to be which of the following?

1 answer:

5 0

Answer: D. Higher in the long run than the short run, because farmers cannot easily change their decisions about how much basmati rice to plant once the current crop has been planted.

Explanation:

Price Elasticity of Supply refers to how Supply changes in response to a change in price. Essentially, if the price of a good increases, will Supplier supply more or less of that good as a result and by how much will they do so.

In the short run, the farmers would have already planted the crops and so would be unable start changing the quantity that they expect from the harvest. They will therefore supply the amount they harvested regardless of a price change.

In the long run however, they can change the amount of rice planted depending on the price of the rice in the market. Price Elasticity is therefore higher in the long run than in the short run.

You are the newly assigned project manager to a major IT upgrade project in your global company. How will you determine the risk

kap26 [50]

Answer:

I have to identify the risk factors in the project and then gauge the willingness of the company to take such risks.

Explanation:

Risk tolerance is the willingness of an organization or an individual to take certain risks. The risk tolerance level of a person or organization can be classified as either high or low. For a project manager who wants to determine the risk tolerances associated with his project, he has to first identify the risk factors, and then try to know the risk level and if indeed this level is acceptable within the organization's culture and standard.

The project manager would do well to plot a graph that would show the probability of a risky action happening or not. A risk tolerance line is now obtained from where the project manager can know if that risk is tolerable by organization standards. The extent of job security would also help in determining the amount of risk a manager can take. However, they are still expected to stay within the standards of the organization.
