Answer:
A) Price elasticity of demand = 8
B) PED is elastic
C) increase Danny's total revenue
Explanation:
we can calculate the price elasticity of demand using the formula:
PED = % change in quantity demanded / % change in price = [(300 - 100) / 100] / [(1.5 - 2) / 2] = (200 / 100) / (-0.5 / 2) = 2 / 0.25 = 8
if the PED is the same when the price decreases from $1 to $0.50, total revenue will :
- when price = $1.50, total revenue = $1.50 x 300 = $450
- when price = $1, total revenue = $1 x 1,100 = $1,100
*a 33.33% decrease in the price will cause a 266.6% increase (= 33.33% x 8) increase in the quantity demanded = 300 units + (300 x 266.6%) = 300 + 800 = 1,100 units

Answer:
The answer is yes, it will function as a medium of exchange.
Explanation:
Money has three functions, store of value, unit of account and medium of exchange. Money that can be used as a medium of exchange is money that is accepted as such by both buyers and sellers, and that is comfortable, or convenient enough, to be carried and exchanged
In this example, the nation of Newbie will issue a currency that can be easily transported. While heavy stock cardboard is a little bit heavier than the paper in which most modern-day currencies are printed, the weight is still light, and does not impede easy transportation and exchange of the currency bills.
Besides, the new Newbie Nugget will be what is know was the legal tender of the nation. The legal tender is the currency that a specific country accepts to collect taxes. This gives more legitimacy to Newbie Nugget and makes it a classical example of a medium of exchange.
Answer:
a) safety stock = z-score x √lead time x standard deviation of demand
z-score for 99.9% = 3.29053
√lead time = √7 = 2.6458
standard deviation of demand = 3
safety stock = 3.29053 x 2.6458 x 3 = 26.12 ≈ 26 soaps
reorder point = lead time demand + safety stock = (7 x 16) + 26 = 138 soaps
EOQ = √[(2 x S x D) / H]
S = order cost = $10
D = annual demand = 16 x 365 = 5,840
H = $0.05
EOQ = √[(2 x $10 x 5,840) / $0.05] = 1,528.40 ≈ 1,528 soaps
b) total order costs per year = (5,840 / 1,528) x $10 = $38.22
total holding costs = (1,528 / 2) x $0.05 = $38.20
total annual ordering and holding costs = $76.42
