Nana76 [90]

Answer:

Elastic demand

Explanation:

The price elasticity of demand is described as the sensitivity of demand to changes in its price. A product is price elastic when a small change in prices causes a significant change in quantity demanded. If a small change in price results in minimal impact in quantity demanded, the product is price inelastic.

Steel mill raised its prices by 7 percent. As a result, the demand declined by 20 percent. The demand decreased by a bigger rate than the change in price. It means a small change in price causes the demand to change significantly. Therefore, the demand curve is price elastic.

solmaris [256]

Answer:

Retained earning balance at the end would be = $205,000

Explanation:

Retained earnings at the end = Retained earning at the beginning + Net income - Dividend paid

The net income would increase the balance of the retained earnings hence it is added to it.

The Dividend paid would be a cash outflow which would reduce the balance of the retained earnings, hence it is deducted from it.

So applying this to the question, we have

Retained earning balance at the end would be:

25,000 + 200,000 - 20,000 = $205,000

Retained earning balance at the end would be = $205,000

Most employees believed that asking clarification to their supervisor would reflect badly on them since it make them look incompetent.

But most supervisors are trained to provide employees with guidance if they do not understand their assignment. And, following the wrong order would be significantly worse compared to not able to understand an email.
