Answer:

More Elastic ; Lerner Index Decline

Explanation:

Elasticity denotes the responsive change in a product's demand, due to change in its price. Higher the elasticity, the more quantity change due to price change, vice versa.

Lerner Index depicts the market power a firm has. Higher elasticity means consumers have many close alternatives & L is small, signify less market power. And, Vice versa case for low L.

Orange Inc players has monopoly i.e sole seller privileges in the MP3 players market, with few close substitutes. As, more types of players are introduced in the market :

  • Orange Inc has more competitors & close substitute goods providers, now in the market. So, increase in substitute availability will increase the Elasticity of Orange' demand
  • Increase in Elasticity means implies that consumers have many options, market power of Orange & its representative L index falls.

Dafna1 [17]

The answer is $10,000 net loss.

Given,

The debits and credits to Income Summary are $90,000 and $80,000, respectively.

An income summary is also known as an Income statement.

The debit side of this statement contains the expense for the period.

And the credit side of this statement contains the income for the period.

Therefore, according to the given information expenses are $90,000 and income is $80,000.

Since expenses incurred are greater than the income generated. There is a net loss for the current period.

The amount of the net loss will be calculated as follows:

Net loss = Amount of expenses - Amount of income

              = 90000 - 80000

              = $10,000

Hence, the amount of net loss for the period is $10,000.

Strike Price   $2.3 10,000     $23,000      $1,500             6.98%

Cost after hedge

loss of           $0.6    2.09        10,000       $20,900

Selling Rate   $2.24 10,000    $22,400       $1,500         7.18%

Gross margin locked with the put option: 6.98%

Actual reported gross margin: 7.18%
