Answer:
<u>A. elastic;</u> <u>inelastic </u>
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand refers to degree of responsiveness of quantity demanded of a good with respect to a change in the price. It is mathematically expressed as:
wherein dQ= Change in quantity demanded
dP = Change in price
p = Original Price
q = Original quantity
Total revenue refers to total receipts of a firm from the sale of a good.
When price elasticity of demand is less than 1, it refers to inelastic demand which further means, the change in quantity demanded is less w.r.t change in price.
Similarly, when price elasticity of demand is greater than 1, it signifies change in quantity demanded is more w.r.t change in the price.
In the given case, the cashier thinks lowering prices will increase the total revenue. This indicates the cashier believes the demand to be elastic.
Similarly, the friend's belief of increased prices leading to increased total revenue signifies inelastic demand.
Answer:
2,000 test
Revenues 2,000*$320=$640,000
Variable costs 2000*$205 ($160+$21+$6+$8+$10)=$410,000
Fixed costs=$37,000 ($22,000+$15,000)
Income =$193,000
1,250 test
Revenues 1,250*$320=$400,000
Variable costs 1,250*$205 ($160+$21+$6+$8+$10)=$256,250
Fixed costs=$37,000 ($22,000+$15,000)
Income =$106,750
Explanation:
Answer:
The answer is -0.5
Explanation:
I will attach a jpg file explaining the procedure used in obtaining the answer. I used the midpoint formula to calculate for percentage change in Quantity and Price, before calculating the Price-elasticity coefficient.

4. Calculate shareholders' equity.
Add total liabilities to total shareholders' equity and compare to the assets.
Answer:
the low opportunity cost producer.
Explanation:
A person or nation has comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared with other countries or people.
For example, let's assume country x produces either 10 Apples or 5 oranges in 1 hour while country y produces either 20 Apples or 2 oranges in one hour. The opportunity cost for country x of producing apples and oranges are 0.5 and 2 respectively. While for country y, the oopportunity cost of producing apples and oranges are 0.1 and 10 respectively.
Country y has an opportunity cost and comparative advantage in the production of Apples while country x has a comparative advantage in production of oranges.
