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.

Whenever money has to be taken out of the first plan, then it is the requirement of IRA to complete the rollover within 60 days, also the amount to be withheld is 20% this is in the case where the amount is directly paid o the concerned participant. Then the person concerned for such payment has to keep 20%

Here in the instance Total amount = $10,000

20% of such = $2,000

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

B) To remain competitive, companies must be prepared to add to or adapt their product lines to satisfy customer desires.

Explanation:

The fact that many consumers are complaining about the products that Marissa sold, means that her sales probably went down. When sales are down, any company is in big trouble.

In order to regain a competitive advantage, Marissa and other companies must be willing to offer the products or services that will satisfy their customers' needs.

About 100 years ago, companies sold what they produced and consumers' voices and needs were not important, but that was 100 years ago. Today, if you do not satisfy your consumers' needs and desires, you lose them immediately.
