Answer and Explanation:
An increase in the number of firms increases the demand elasticity. As the demand elasticity increases from 2 to 3 it means you could encounter less demand if product prices are increased. At a demand elasticity of -3, it is regarded as inelastic demand and a change in price will not affect the demand for the product as customers are still likely to patronize the product example gasoline. Due to its high demand, an increase in price will not readily affect the demand for it. Therefore if you are to change the price from $10 at 2 to 3 demand elasticity increase, the percentage of increase from 2 to 3 is given as.
3-2/2 X 100 = 50%
The new charge (x) at -3 demand elasticity = 50%/3 = 0.66666666
The increase in the new charge is therefore $10 + $10x = $10 + $10(0.166666) = $11.67
Answer:
type B 50 pounds
type A 94 pounds
Explanation:
First we construct the equation system:
Now we clear one and replace:
And we can solve for type B:
And now we can solve for quantity of A as well:
A = 144 - 50 = 94
<u>Finally we can check the answer if it is correct:</u>
50 x 5.9 + 94 X 4.75 =
295 + 446,5 = 741,5
Answer:
Barter; for trying to coordinate trades
Explanation:
The barter is the system where the goods or services are exchanged with another goods or services. Here no money involvement is there
Only goods or services are exchanged with the different good or services
So it is a complete non-adequate mechanism and it should be tried for coordinating the trades
Therefore the above option should be considered
Answer:
Explanation:
If a company(Marriott in this case) uses a single hurdle rate to decide whether an investment should be undertaken or not, some projects that need to be accepted would end up being rejected and vice versa. For example,
if Marriott's hurdle rate is 10% and it's evaluating
project A with a 15% cost of capital &
project B with a 6% cost of capital .
Evaluation:
Project A would probably lead to a negative NPV because the cost of capital is higher (meaning it is riskier than the firm) hence could be rejected, but using the company hurdle rate of 10% to evaluate it could make its NPV positive. This would ignore the actual additional risk of the project.
