You are a financial manager in a public corporation. One of your engineers says that they can increase the profit margin on your

flagship product by using a lower quality vendor.​ However, the product is likely to fail more often and will generally not last as long. Will taking your​ engineer's suggestion necessarily make shareholders better​ off? Why or why​ not?

Answer:

No, the particular suggestion never makes shareholders better off.

Explanation:

No, it isn't necessarily going to make investors better off.

Although we are cutting costs, that could boost earnings in the short term, we will deal with much more expensive permit problems and lost public image with our customers, possibly leading them to purchase from our rivals, that in the longer term would decrease cash flow.

  • Having a commodity less expensive but of lesser quality is not the same as increasing the value of the shares.

therefore, we have to reject this offer.

What information must economists have to estimate the price elasticity of​ demand? To estimate the price elasticity of​ demand,
kkurt [141]

Answer:

C. the demand curve for a product.

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand is a measure of the sensitivity of demand for a good or service to changes in the price of that product. We say that the price elasticity of demand is elastic when a percentage change in the price of this good has major impacts on demand. On the contrary, we say that the price elasticity of demand is inelastic when variations in the price of goods have little or no influence on demand.

Thus, to determine the value of elasticity, one must know what was the change in price and the change in quantity demanded. In a graph where price and quantity are the x and y axes, this can be obtained by observing changes in the demand curve points, which reflected the price change on one axis and the quantity change on another axis. Thus, it is sufficient to divide the percentage change in quantity demanded by the percentage change in price to find the price elasticity of demand.
