Answer: 0%
Explanation:
Elasticity measures the change in demand resulting from a change in price. The law of demand holds that when prices increase, quantity demand would decrease and elasticity is meant to show the magnitude of this change.
A unit elastic good means that prices and quantity demanded change by the same amount. This means that for a unit elastic good, if the price change is a 5% increase, the quantity demanded will decrease by 5%.
In terms of revenue, if the price increases by the same amount that quantity demanded decreases, the effects will cancel out so there will be no revenue effect.

Answer:
a. The company must have had net income equal to zero in 2009.
Explanation:
If on its 2008 balance sheet, Sherman Books showed a balance of retained earnings equal to $510 million, and on its 2009 balance sheet, the balance of retained earnings was also equal to $510 million; then what is true is that the company must have had net income equal to zero in 2009.
Retained earnings is the profit amount or net income left over and taken back into the business after it has paid out dividends to its shareholders.
However it is unlikely that the company will pay out the entire amount it earns in a particular year but a percentage of earnings.
In the case of Sherman, it is unlikely that the company made a profit of $200 million and paid out every bit as dividends to shareholders but what is most likely is that there was no profit made for retention in 2009
