Answer:

a) Decentralized

Explanation:

Decentralization refers to delegation of authority from the top level managers to the lower level managers.

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

d. .64.

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measure the responsiveness of demand against change in the price of given product. It measures the ratio of change in demand to change in price.

Change in demand = ( 2200 - 2000 ) / [ (2200+2000)/2 ] = 200 / 2100 = 0.0952

Change in price = ( 1.25 - 1.45 ) / [ (1.25+1.45)/2 ] = 0.2 / 1.35 = 0.148

Elasticity of Demand = Change in demand / change in price = 0.0952 / 0.148 = 0.643 = 0.64

You just won $30,000 and deposited your winnings into an account that pays 3.9 percent interest, compounded annually. how long w
ruslelena [56]
For this case we have an equation of the form:
 y = A * (b) ^ x&#10;
 Where,
 A: initial amount
 b: growth rate
 x: number of years
 Substituting values we have:
 y = 30000 * (1,039) ^ x&#10;
 By the time the earnings increase to 75000 we have:
 75000 = 30000 * (1,039) ^ x&#10;
 From here, we clear x:
 (1,039) ^ x = (75000/30000)&#10;&#10;log1.039 ((1.039) ^ x) = log1.039 ((75000/30000))&#10;&#10;
 x = log1.039 ((75000/30000))&#10;&#10;x = 23.95 years
 Answer:
 
you will have to wait until 23.95 years your winnings are worth $ 75,000
