Answer:

The correct answer is a. more elastic demands.

Explanation:

There are some goods whose demand is very price sensitive, small variations in their price cause large variations in the quantity demanded. It is said of them that they have elastic demand. The goods that, on the contrary, are not sensitive to price are those of inelastic or rigid demand. In these large variations in prices can occur without consumers varying the quantities they demand. The intermediate case is called unit elasticity.

The elasticity of demand is measured by calculating the percentage by which the quantity demanded of a good varies when its price varies by one percent. If the result of the operation is greater than one, the demand for that good is elastic; If the result is between zero and one, its demand is inelastic.

The factors that influence the demand for a good to be more or less elastic are:

1) Type of needs that satisfies the good. If the good is of first necessity the demand is inelastic, it is acquired whatever the price; On the other hand, if the good is luxurious, the demand will be elastic since if the price increases a little, many consumers will be able to do without it.

2) Existence of substitute goods. If there are good substitutes, the demand for good will be very elastic. For example, a small increase in the price of olive oil can cause a large number of housewives to decide to use sunflower.

How does price discrimination help cover fixed costs?
Svetradugi [14.3K]
For the case of a consumer with an inelastic demand curve, it is less costly to cater for them, hence reducing the production fixed cost. given that different customers will be charged differently for the same product, it is easy to cover for a low profit range.

omparative Income Statement For the Years Ended December 31, 20Y6 and 20Y5 1 20Y6 20Y5 Amount Increase (Decrease) Percentage Inc
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:

 

Liquidity and Solvency Measures Computations

Current ratio $3,093,000 ÷ $840,000

Working capital $3,093,000 – $840,000

Accounts receivable turnover $8,280,000 ÷ [($714,000 + $740,000) ÷ 2]

Ratio of fixed assets to long-term liabilities $2,690,000 ÷ $1,690,000

Inventory turnover $4,100,000 ÷ [($1,072,000 + $1,100,000) ÷ 2]

Number of days' sales in receivables [($714,000 + $740,000) ÷ 2] ÷ ($8,280,000 ÷ 365)

Number of days' sales in inventory [($1,072,000 + $1,100,000) ÷ 2] ÷ ($4,100,000 ÷ 365)

Times interest earned ($989,400 + $127,000) ÷ $127,000

Ratio of liabilities to stockholders' equity $2,530,000 ÷ $4,077,000

Quick ratio $1,866,000 ÷ $840,000

Profitability Measures Computations

Asset turnover $8,280,000 ÷ [($5,783,000 + $5,593,000) ÷ 2]

Return on total assets ($801,420 + $127,000) ÷ [($6,607,000 + $6,417,000) ÷ 2]

Return on stockholders’ equity $801,420 ÷ [($4,077,000 + $3,873,150) ÷ 2]

Return on common stockholders’ equity ($801,420 – $65,000) ÷ [($3,589,500 + $3,445,920) ÷ 2]

Earnings per share on common stock ($801,420 – $65,000) ÷ 250,000 shares

Price-earnings ratio $35 ÷ $3.05

Dividends per share $175,000 ÷ 250,000 shares

Dividend yield $0.70 ÷ $35

Two of the computations use shares.

Use the following comparative income statement form to enter amounts you identify from the computations on the Liquidity and Solvency Measures panel and on the Profitability Measures panel. Compute any missing amounts and complete the horizontal analysis columns. Enter percentages as decimal amounts, rounded to one decimal place. When rounding, look only at the figure to the right of one decimal place. If < 5, round down and if ≥ 5, round up. For example, for 32.048% enter 32.0%. For 32.058% enter 32.1%.
