Answer for the question
Some observers had argued that Uber’s greatest problem was not any of its scandals, but its CEO Travis Kalanick. Now that Kalanick no longer serves that role, how much better off is Uber really? Where do you come down? Do you think Kalanick’s reduced profile will turn the tide for Uber? Or is Kalanick’s drive and competitiveness necessary to Uber’s continued success, regardless of the title he holds? If you were on the board, what would you recommend? And why?

Explanation:
Answer: (b) -3.08
Explanation:
The relationship between the demand(q), price per unit product(p) and the disposable income,yd is given by the expression below;
q= 20ln(7yd-2p).
From the expression above, the marginal demand,
∂ q/∂ p is the differential of the equation of relationship between the demand, price and disposable income.
This involves considering the demand,q as the dependent variable and the price per unit product,p as the independent variable and the disposable income,yd is considered constant.
Therefore ,
∂ q/∂ p= (-40)÷(7yd-2p)
By substitution of
yd =$3000÷1000= $3
and p= $4
∂ q/∂ p= (-40)÷((7×$3)-(2×$4))
∂ q/∂ p= -40÷13= 3.08
Please see the attachment for knowledge on how ∂ q/∂ p was obtained.
<u>Solution and Explanation:</u>
1. False- Long run Economic growth is likely to be sustainable because of finite natural resources as othe man made resources will be available to sustain growth.
2. False- In mordern economy posesing few natural resources will not affect a country to develop economically; human resources and man made resources will also contribute. Foreign trade can also play an important role towards growth, in the absence of abundant natural resources.
3. True- Natural resources are vital, and mostly exhaustible. Hence it is very essential to find suitable alternatives.
4. False- Economies of 21st century depend on human capital due to depletable atural resources.
5. True - In the 19th century, minerals and farming land were the most mportant resources, since self sustainability was in vogue.
