Suppose that a local supermarket sells apples and oranges for 50 cents apiece, and at these prices is able to sell 100 apples an

d 200 oranges per week. One week, the supermarket lowered the price per apple to 40 cents and sold 120 apples. The next week, they lowered the price per orange to 40 cents (after raising the price per apple back to 50 cents) and sold 240 oranges. These results imply that the
a. price elasticity of apples is lower than the price elasticity of oranges
b. price elasticity of apples is higher than the price elasticity of oranges
c. demand for apples is more price sensitive than the demand for oranges
d. demand for oranges is more price sensitive than the demand for apples
e. price elasticities of demand for apples and oranges are the same over these price ranges

Answer:

e. price elasticities of demand for apples and oranges are the same over these price ranges

Explanation:

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

Price elasticity = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price

Percentage change in price = (50-40) / 50 = 0.2 × 100 = 20%

Percentage change in quantity demanded of Apples = (120 - 100) / 100 = 0.2 × 100 =

20%

Percentage change in quantity demanded of oranges = (240 - 200) / 200 = 0.2 × 100 = 20%

Price elasticity of demand for oranges = 20% / 20% = 1

Price elasticity of demand for Apples = 20% / 20% = 1

When coefficient of elasticity is equal than one, elasticity of demand is unit elastic.

This implies that the elasticity of demand for Apples and oranges are the same. A change in the price of oranges and apples would lead to the same proportional change for each of the demand for Apples and oranges.

LenKa [72]

Answer:

Export

True

False

True

Explanation:

Free trade is a form of trade policy where there are no restrictions to imports or exports of goods and services.

The price of meekers is $30 in Meekertown and $40 In the world. Because meeker's are cheaper in Meekertown, it means that Meekertown is efficient in the production of meekers. As a result, they would export meekers to the rest of the world. It would be cost efficient for the rest of the world to import from Meekertown.

Consumers in Meekertown are worse of because of the trade because the price of Meekers would rise.

Producers are better off because they would earn more profits from the sale of Meekers at the world price.

Free trade increases total surplus because of efficient production. If a country is inefficient in production, it would import . This would increase consumer surplus and if it is efficient in production, it would export increasing producer surplus.

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

quick ratio =  0.61  

Explanation:

given data

cash = $8,800

accounts receivable = $15,800

fixed assets = $87,600

accounts payable = $40,300

inventory = $46,900

solution

we get here quick ratio that is express as

quick ratio = (Cash + Accounts receivable) ÷ (Accounts Payable)   .................1

put here value and we get

quick ratio = \frac{8800+15800}{40300}  

quick ratio =  0.61  

so correct option is c. 61

Flauer [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

Cablevision can easily accomplish this by doing the following. First gather the number of sales of premium services and other products that non-trained individuals are accomplishing in a given time period (example, one month). Next, under the same conditions place the newly trained individuals and gather the same data from them (number of sales/subscribers gained, premium products, and other products). Finally, they would simply need to compare the difference in the number of sales to see if the training paid off. They would also need to calculate if the difference in sales surpasses the costs of training.
