<span>Basically "Opportunity cost" is what you're going to lose (or have a potential to lose) if you chose a different action than what you're presented with. In the example, you're working for $15 an hour, but if you decide instead to skip a pratrice to go to the fair you're losing out of the $15 an hour you'll be paid and have to pay $9 to go to the fair. All total, you're opportunity costs for that will be $24 (fifteen you would have made plus the nine dollar fee.) This is also assuming, of course, they don't fire/dock you for just skipping work.</span>
Answer: -0.5
Explanation:
Based on the information given, the price elasticity of demand will be calculated as follows:
= dQ/dP × P/Q
where,
dQ/dP = -1
P = 100
Q = 200 – P + 25 U – 50 P beer
Q = 200 - 100 + 25(8) - 50(2)
Q = 200 - 100 + 200 - 100
Q = 200
Therefore, dQ/dP × P/Q
= -1 × (100/200)
= -1 × 1/2
= -1 × 0.5
= -0.5
The price elasticity of demand is -0.5.

Check the explanation
Explanation:
In this case option A is the correct option, i.e. Carolina will accept the new cosmetic line but Sanders will reject the new cosmetic line. This is because Carolina being the president of Deed Corporation would like to take the cosmetic line differently and with the expected rate of return of 12%, i.e. higher than the minimum required rate of return of 8%.
However, Sanders has achieved a 14% rate of return from his cosmetic division thus, being the manger he would not like his performance to go down with 12% return from the new cosmetic line. Thus, option A is the correct option.
Answer: -0.5
Explanation:
From the information given,
Demand curve = P = 600 – Q
Supply curve = P = 0.5Q
Equilibrium = Qd = Qs
Therefore, 600 - Q = 0.5Q
600 = Q + 0.5Q
600 = 1.5Q
Q = 600/1.5
Q = 400
Since P = 600 - Q
P = 600 - 400
P = 200
Price elasticity will be:
= (dQ/dP) × (P/Q)
=(-1) × (200/400).
= -1 × 0.5
= -0.5
The price elasticity is -0.5
