Answer:

A. That's the point where total revenue is maximized

Explanation:

Demand Curve is a downward sloping curve representing inverse  relationship between price & quantity demanded.

Elasticity of Demand is the responsiveness of quantity demanded to price change. It can be measured geometrically on a demand curve point by :

Demand curve segment below the point / Demand curve segment above the point.

This way the elasticity keeps on decreasing as we move downwards on the demand curve [Ed=∞ to Ed >1 to Ed = 1 to Ed < 1 to Ed = 0] i.e [from perfectly elastic to elastic to unitary elastic to inelastic to perfectly inelastic demand].

If Demand is Elastic [Ed >1] : There is negative relationship between price and Total Revenue. This point is on the upper segment of demand curve as per geometric method, P- TR negative relationship implies that TR can be increased by decreasing Price.

If Demand is Inelastic [Ed <1] : There is positive relationship between price &total revenue. This point is on the lower segment of demand curve as per geometric method, P-TR positive relationship implies that TR can be increased by increasing price.

So: The best Total Revenue Maximising point is on the middle of demand curve where demand is unitary elastic [Ed=1] - as any other deviation from this point would create an incentive to change price to generate higher revenue.

andrezito [222]

Answer:

The average fixed cost is $2.4.

Explanation:

Vipsana's Gyros House sells gyros.

The cost of ingredients​ to make a gyro is​ $2.00.  

Vipsana pays her employees​ $60 per day.  

She also incurs a fixed cost of​ $120 per day.

The cost incurred on ingredients and workers is a variable cost.  

The total fixed is thus $120.  

The average fixed cost for 50 gyros

= \frac{TFC}{Q}

= \frac{120}{50}

= $2.4

Should any of these ratios or the change in a ratio warrant concern for the managers of Tyler Toys or the​ shareholders? ​(Selec
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

<u>C. The company has a very poor turnover of assets and collects its receivables​ quickly; thus there are some concerns from these ratios. D</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Let's be mindful that turnover here refers to <em>revenue</em>, while receivables​  refer to<em> amounts owed to the company</em>.  So, If the company has a very poor turnover of assets it means it isn't making much revenue, and it is collecting its receivables​ quickly implying there are some concerns (imbalances) from these ratios.

Therefore, the managers of Tyler Toys or the​ shareholders need to work out a solution.
