Answer:

E) 0.39

Explanation:

the price elasticity of demand measures how much will a 1% change in price affect the quantity demanded.

  • if a 1% change in price changes the quantity demanded in a higher proportion, then the PED > 1, so the demand is elastic.
  • if a 1% change in price changes the quantity demanded in a lower proportion, then the PED < 1, so the demand is inelastic.
  • if a 1% change in price changes the quantity demanded in the same proportion, then the PED = 1, so the demand is unit elastic.

PED using the midpoint method = {(Q2 - Q1) / [(Q2 + Q1) / 2]} / {(P2 - P1) / [(P2 + P1) / 2]}

PED = {(16,000 - 17,000) / [(16,000 + 17,000) / 2]} / {(48 - 41) / [(48 + 41) / 2]} = {-1,000 / 16,500} / {7 / 44.5 } = -0.0606 / 0.1573 = -0.385 ≈ 0.39 inelastic

*PED is always negative, but we use the absolute value for practical terms, e.g. a price decrease will increase the quantity demanded.

In your opinion, discuss of the importance of having a business website. And also their advantage and disadvantage.​
azamat

Answer:

The first and perhaps most obvious advantage of a business website is the potential for reaching a wider audience. The internet is used by literally millions of people, all of them are looking for something and some of them might be looking for you!

Building a website for your business will mean you could potentially reach these otherwise unreachable customers. Your business might be local, but you might have the potential to sell your products or services to a wider market, whether it be people in the next town, the nation as a whole or even the international market. Data shows that internet shopping is still on the rise, so taking your business online will potentially allow you to take advantage of the growth and expand your business. Even if you have no intention of using a business website to sell, you still might want to let customers know about your business. People commonly research businesses online before actually visiting the business location. So having a well designed website will help encourage them to come and visit you or be able to find your business in the first place.

Disadvantages of a Business Website

There are a few disadvantages of having a website for your business. Generally though, they are outweighed by numerous advantages.

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

Explanation:

Profit on a long call option = max(St - X, 0) - premium paid  

Profit on a long call option = max(29 - 27, 0) - 1.1

Profit on a long call option = max(2, 0) - 1.1

Profit on a long call option = 2 - 1.1

Profit on a long call option = 0.9 per share

Total profit on the long call option = 0.9 * 100 shares per contract * 3 contracts  = 0.9 * 100 * 3  = $270

Net profit on this investment = 270 - 10

Net profit on this investment = $260

Nady [450]

Remaining part of question;

<em>Is the sender using an indirect approach in an ethical or unethical manner?</em>

Answer:

<u>Unethical manner</u>

Explanation:

Note that, it was mentioned that the message informing employees of this change used an <em>indirect approach</em> and focused on the environmental benefits of going paperless.

Rather, it would have been ethical if the message honestly told employees that printing and copying costs have skyrocketed at the company, and the company will begin charging employees for all hard copies of documents related to internal use.
