Answer:

C) 0.5; The product is inelastic.

Explanation:

Elasticity of supply measures the responsiveness of quantity supplied to changes in price.

Elasticity of supply = percentage change in quantity supplied / percentage change in price

Elasticity of supply = 2% / 4% = 0.5

When the coefficient of elasticity of supply is less than one, supply is inelastic.

Inelastic supply means that a change in price would have little or no effect on the quantity supplied.

OLEGan [10]

Answer: Please see below

Explanation: The values from  the question are scattered, but here is how they should appear

                                                    Case A       Case B         Case C  

Net income                               $310,000         15,000 $420,000    

Depreciation expense                  40,000   150,000       80,000

Accounts receivable increase

(decrease                                      100,000 (200,000) (20,000)

Inventory increase (decrease)        (50,000)   35,000   50,000

Accounts payable increase           (50,000)   120,000   70,000

Accrued liabilities increase

(decrease)                                  60,000  (220,000) (40,000)

To calculate the operating activities section of cash flows for each of the given cases,

we use the Indirect method formula

Net cash flow from operating actvities  = Net Income + Non-Cash Expenses – Increase in Working Capital

Net cash flow from operating actvities =Net Income +/- Changes in Assets & Liabilities + Non-Cash Expenses

Net cash flow from operating actvities = Net Income + Depreciation + Stock Based Compensation + Deferred Tax + Other Non Cash Items – Increase in Accounts Receivable – Increase in Inventory + Increase in Accounts Payable + Increase in Accrued Expenses + Increase in Deferred Revenue

Following the formulae above, we can determine what expense should be added or subtracted to give the operating activities of cash flow below as

                                  Case A                   Case B               Case C

Net Income               $310,000                15,000         $420,000  

Net Income Adjustments to Reconcile Net Income to net Cash provided by operating activities

Depreciation                   40,000              150,000       80,000

Changes in Assets and Liabilities

Accounts Receivable        - 100,000       200,000           20,000

Inventory                              50,000           -35,000        - 50,000    

Accounts Payable            -50,000            120,000       70,000

Accrued Liabilities              60,000           - 220,000       -40,000

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

                                      $310,000         $230,000       $500,000

babunello [35]

Explanation:

Resistance to change occurs when there is some kind of change in the organization, such as changes in the structure of the business, changes in teams, technologies, etc.

This is because there is insecurity in employees, often due to lack of sufficient information about the change and fear of not being able to adapt.

To eliminate employee resistance, company managers must communicate how the change will occur and why it is necessary, listing the positives of the changes and the benefits it will bring to the organization, enabling feedback so that employees feel included and their perception be positive.
