Answer:

<u>A. elastic;</u> <u>inelastic </u>

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand refers to degree of responsiveness of quantity demanded of a good with respect to a change in the price. It is mathematically expressed as:

\frac{dQ}{dP} \ *\ \frac{p}{q}

wherein dQ= Change in quantity demanded

              dP = Change in price

              p = Original Price

              q = Original quantity

Total revenue refers to total receipts of a firm from the sale of a good.

When price elasticity of demand is less than 1, it refers to inelastic demand which further means, the change in quantity demanded is less w.r.t change in price.

Similarly, when price elasticity of demand is greater than 1, it signifies change in quantity demanded is more w.r.t change in the price.

In the given case, the cashier thinks lowering prices will increase the total revenue. This indicates the cashier believes the demand to be elastic.

Similarly, the friend's belief of increased prices leading to increased total revenue signifies inelastic demand.

An employer will do a 50% match on your investment to a 401k retirement plan. If you decide to contribute a monthly amount of $2
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

There will be $92,635.42 in the account after 15 years.

Explanation:

Missing question <em>"The interest rate is fixed at 2.05%"</em>

As the employer does a 50% match on the employee’s investment, the monthly contribution to the retirement plan will be = 2 * $220 = $ 440.

The future value (F) of an annuity is given by F = (P/r)[(1+r)n-1]

P is the periodic payment

r is the rate per period

n is the number of periods.

P = 440, r = 2.05/1200 and n = 15*12 = 180.

F = (440*1200/2.05)[ (1+2.05/1200)180 -1]

F = (528000/2.05)*0.359664042

F = 92635.4215493

F = $92635.42

Thus, there will be $92,635.42 in the account after 15 years.

wel

Answer:

If computers are produced mostly by capital and beer is produced mostly by labor, the H-O model predicts that

Germany will export computers in exchange for beer.

Explanation:

The H-O model or Heckscher-Ohlin theory is an economic model about the comparative advantages of nations in international trade.  The model tries to explain the equilibrium of trade existing between two countries that have varying specialties and natural resources.  According to the H-O model, countries export more goods and services for which they have plenty resources than they do for goods and services for which they have scarce resources.  For example, if a country has capital in abundance, it will export more of capital-intensive products while it will import labor-intensive products, because it has scarce labor resources.

Mark runs a small manufacturing business. Which statement hints at the fact that Mark is a transformational leader?
Zolol [24]
The answer would be A because the key word is manufacturing and that means Mark is building something he visioned. So, the business he started although small inspired enough people to work for what he envision. B, C, and D are wrong because it does not hint or say in the question about any of those answer choices.

valkas [14]

Answer:

he values your time

Explanation:

In this specific scenario, the executive assistant is expressing nonverbally that he values your time. This is expressed by him stopping what he was doing in order to pay attention to what you have to say to him when you enter the room. Since the work that he is doing (e-mailing clients) is incredibly important, the simple act of him stopping shows that your time is more important to him.
