Answer:

0.583

Explanation:

Data provided in the question;

Average dinner charges = $8.75

Initial demand = 3,000 atrons

Increase in price = $0.50

Final demand = 2,900

Thus,

change in demand = 3,000 - 2,900 = 100

Now,

The price elasticity of demand = \frac{\textup{Percentage change in demand}}{\textup{Percentage change in price}}

also,

Percentage change in demand = \frac{\textup{Change in demand}}{\textup{Initial demand}}\times100\%

= \frac{\textup{100}}{\textup{3000}}\times100\%

= 3.33%

Percentage change in price =  \frac{\textup{Change in price}}{\textup{Initial price}}\times100\%

= \frac{\textup{0.50}}{\textup{8.75}}\times100\%

= 5.714

thus,

The price elasticity of demand = \frac{\textup{3.33}\%}{\textup{5.714}\%}

= 0.583

Ugo [173]

Answer:

A. ​doesn't lose any sales when it raises its price

Explanation:

  • As monopoly is ruled by one set of prices and they are price makers thus even f the prices rise the price will be set above the marginal cost to maximize the profits. Thus a monopoly does not lose its market share as it acts as a single dominating factor in the supply and trade of the goods and services. And it stipulates the financial dealing through a single seller.

1. Why do firms choose to make large increases in their dividends or start a stock repurchase program?2. Why do firms choose to
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer with Explanation:

Requirement 1:

The companies whose products are in growth phase or the company is cash cow which has a well diversified products does not have to invest in adding a new product line because their earnings are already stable enough or that they don't have to invest much because sufficient profits are left after extracting for investments. Increase in dividends has two meanings that either the management is confident enough that they think that the company will be able to earn more in the future and they will achieve better position in future which is a good news in the stock exchange and for investors as well and investor invest more in the company's ordinary stock.

Company start Stock repurchase program which is to buyback its previously issued ordinary shares which is because the management thinks that the stock is undervalued and thus they repurchase their ordinary shares so that the stock will go up in near future and this will benefit the company and the existing shareholders as well. This also helps in increasing earnings per share, return on equity, etc because the equity is reduced by share repurchase program.

Stock repurchase program is also run by the organization because they don't find any attractive opportunities. This means that the company does not have any large investment opportunities which means growth in revenue and profit can not be expected in the future years. Thus when the company starts repurchasing of stock the investor starts selling their stocks.

Requirement 2:

If the company thinks that they can increase the worth of shareholders beyond their shareholder's expectation then they don't pay dividend and invest in projects to increase the sales growth, profits and market share significantly in the coming future.

Some long term shareholders think this is a great news whereas short term investors who are looking for dividends will sell the stock which means that the stock value may fall in near future but in long run the company stock value increase when the investment will start showing its results.

Wilder Company manufactures two models of its banjo, the Basic and the Luxury. The Basic model requires 10,000 direct labor hour
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

The inspecting costs should be allocated to the Basic model using ABC costing is $30,600

Explanation:

The computation of the inspecting cost is shown below:

= Total number of basic model inspection + the total number of inspection

where,

Total number of basic model inspection equals to

= Number of units produced ÷ every units produced

= 3,400 units ÷ 100

= $34

And, the total number of inspection equals to

= Total inspection cost ÷ number of inspection

= $84,600 ÷ $94

= 900

The number of inspection includes

= total number of basic model inspection + the total number of luxury model inspection

= $34 + $60 (600 units ÷ 10)

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= 900 × $34

= $30,600

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

D)Trini can talk to her supervisor about instituting a set rotation schedule for daily pickups at the courthouse.

Explanation:

From the question, Trini worked in a small office with one colleague and one supervisor. Each day, someone from the office had to walk a block to the courthouse to pick up registration forms. None of the three liked to make the trip to the courthouse because it always took longer than expected and each felt they could be more productive in the office. The three randomly decided who would go each day depending on their workload. However, Trini began to feel angry that her turns were always on bad-weather days, either raining, snowing, or windy. According to equity theory, the most productive way for Trini to correct the anger she is beginning to feel Trini can talk to her supervisor about instituting a set rotation schedule for daily pickups at the courthouse. Equity theory can also be regarded as Adam's equity theory, is a theory that trying to strike a fair balance between employee's input as well as the output within a workplace. It usually leads to productive relationship between the management and the employee
