Answer:

Total revenue rises immedately after the fare increase, since demand over the immediate period is price Inelastic.

Explanation:

Elasticity in the price demand measures the porcentage in the change of the quantity demanded as a response to a change in the price. If the elasticity is more than 0 but less than 1 it means that the price demand is inelastic. So when the price is rised the quantity demand will decrease in a minor porcentage than the rise in the price so it will represent a bigger revenue.

bixtya [17]

Answer: A. the firm could produce 3 more units of output if it increased its use of capital by one unit (holding labor constant).

Explanation:

The Marginal Rate of Technical Substitution(MRTS) is calculated as follows:

= Marginal product of labor / Marginal product of capital

= 1 / 3

Marginal product of labor = 1

Marginal product of capital = 3

This means that if one unit of labor is used, it produces 1 unit of output.

If one unit of capital is used however, it produces 3 units of output.

If a firm therefore used one unit of capital and kept labor constant, it could produce 3 units out output.

Carter Pearson is a partner in Event Promoters. His beginning partnership capital balance for the current year is $55,500, and h
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

b. 9.75%

Explanation:

When a partner invests in a business, he/she expects to get return on his equity in the business. The major reason for this is to compare his/her return in the partnership business with the return he/she could get elsewhere.

The return on partner equity is calculated by dividing his/her net income from the partnership business by his/her average capital for the period.

The formula is given below:

<u> Net income       </u>  x 100

Average capital

Average capital  = <u>Opening capital balance + Closing capital balance</u>

                                                                    2

For Carter Pearson, the average capital is =<u> $55,500 + $62,500</u>

                                                                                   2

= $59,000

The return on equity will be: <u>$5,750  </u> x 100

                                                $59,000

= 9.7457

= 9.75%   - approximate to two decimal point.
