Answer:

b. inelastic

c. Yes - it decreased

Explanation:

Elasticitiy of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price.

Elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded/ percentage change in price

= -2/4 = -0.5

The absolute value is 0.5

If the absolute value of the coffiecnet of elasticity of demand is less than one, demand is inelastic.

Demand is inelastic if a change in price has no effect on quantity demanded .

We can tell that the quantity demanded fell because of the negative sign in front of the percentage change in quantity demanded.

I hope my answer helps you

2. Why might an investor choose to become a partner in a limited partnership instead of purchasing the stock of an open corporation? If an investor decided to join in a limited partnership instead of purchasing the stock on an open corporation they would have less to do with the business side as they would in an open corporation. When an investor joins in a limited partnership they have less management responsibility and little to no liability besides their initial investment.

3. Is growth a good thing for all firms? How does management know when a firm is ready to grow? Growth is not a good thing for all firms. Depending on what a company is looking to achieve long term, the financial assets they have now to achieve their growth and other goals are all subject to what the company is able to do with the finances and staffing they have. When a corporation is trying to decide whether or not they should grow, management will examine all aspects of the company to make sure they align with the growth plan.

4. If you were to start a business, which ownership form would you choose? What factors might affect your choice? If I were to start a business, I would probably choose a limited liability company (LLC) as the ownership form and structure. An LLC is where the members within the company are not held personally liable for the company’s debts or liabilities. Think ownership form works well if you were to join forces an open up a business with a friend or family member. An LLC keeps the tax side of the business easier as allowing the individuals to be self-proprietors. When considering factors that may change this decision they would include: who I am going in business with, what I am in business for, my end goals, current goals and current financial status. </span>

Answer the question on the basis of the following information. Assume that if the interest rate that businesses must pay to borr
Kay [80]

Answer:

The answer is: C) Investment spending by businesses varies inversely with the interest rate.

Explanation:

This statement is true all the time. When a company evaluates the costs and benefits of an investment, interest rate plays a fundamental part in those calculations. The two basic reasons for that are:

  1. The higher the interest rate a company (or any individual) has to pay for a loan, the harder it is for the company to repay the loan.
  2. The interest rate a bank charges is usually correlated to the opportunity cost of an investment. The higher the interest rates banks charge, the higher the internal rate of return (which is used to calculate the Net Present Value of an investment) will be. This is because banks don´t print money, they take in deposits and then they loan the money the someone else. So if the interest rate the bank charges is high, usually the interest rates the bank pays for the deposits is also high. Instead of investing, a company might just put their money on the bank and earn a better return rate.

Lin corporation has a single product whose selling price is $134 and whose variable expense is $67 per unit. the company's month
Rashid [163]

Answer:

600 units

Explanation:

The equation to calculate target profit is:  

S × Q = (V × Q) + F + T

  • S = sales price  
  • Q = Quantity of units
  • V = Variable expenses
  • F = Fixed expenses
  • T = Target profit

$134Q = $67Q + $32,300 + $7,900

$134Q - $67Q = $40,200

$67Q = $40,200

Q = $40,200 / $67 = 600
