Answer:

Letter B is correct. <em>Lead Users</em>.

Explanation:

Term developed by prof. Eric von Hippel, Lead Users are those users who are able to transform, adapt and modify a company's product or service for their own benefit, as they face the same market needs a while before regular users.

For Prof Eric von Hippel, there are four steps in developing Lead Users:

  1. Preparation,
  2. Needs and Trends Identification,
  3. Lead Users Identification, and
  4. Concept Design.

The premise is that the Lead Users method is effective in identifying innovation and product trends that need to be developed for a market for your needs.

Tamarisk, Inc. has 12000 shares of 5%, $100 par value, non-cumulative preferred stock and 48000 shares of $1 par value common st
hjlf

Answer:

$84,000

Explanation:

preference share dividend is at 5% on $100 par value. The  number of preference shares is 12,000 shares ( non cumulative)

The year 2017 preference share dividend pay out is 5% of 100 multiplied by 12,000 = $60,000

Deduct $ 60,000 from $144,000 dividend declared in 2017 , the balance is common stockholders dividend.

144,000 minus 60,000 = $84,000

Non cumulative preference shares dividend are paid first for the year the company declares dividend. The dividend is not cumulative ( prior years dividend for which company did not declare dividend are forfeited).

The common stockholders are paid dividend after preference shares dividend are paid. The common stockholders bears the full risk of the business as seen above. In event of liquidation, they are the last to be settled from realised asset of the bankrupt company.

Using the midpoints method, calculate the price elasticity of demand of Good X using the following information: When the price o
grin007 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

In response to the price rise from $50 to $60, the quantity demanded of product X  drops from 400 to 300 units. We know that price elasticity of demand is a measure of the responsiveness of changes in demand as a result of a price change. Thus,

% change in price = \frac{Change in price}{Average of the prices}

          = \frac{60-55}{55} = 0.1818

% Change in Quantity demanded

=\frac{Change in quantity demanded}{Average quantity demanded}

= \frac{300-400}{350}

= -0.2857

Thus,

Price elasticity of demand = \frac{percentage change in quantity demanded}{percentage change in price}

= \frac{-0.2857}{0.1818}

= -1.5715

Therefore, the price elasticity of demand = -1.5715
