Answer:
b. small percentage changes in the price will lead to much larger percentage changes in the quantity demanded.
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand is a measure of how responsive is quantity demanded to change in price. Its formula is given by:
= 
= % Change in Quantity Demanded / % Change in Price
So when absolute value is greater than 1, a x percentage change in price will lead to larger than x percentage change in quantity demanded.
<u>Note</u>: Whether the percentage change in quantity demanded will be just a little or very much larger than percentage change in price will depend on how much is larger than 1. But b is the still the best answer among the options.

The correct answer is:
$17 trillion.
Explanation:
The Gross Domestic Product or GDP represents the overall market value of all the goods and services a country produces and it measures the size of the economy. The GDP is determined with the following formula:
GDP = C + G + I + NX
where:
- C: private consumption or consumer spending
- G: government spending
- I: businesses' capital spending
- NX: net exports (exports - imports)
In the example:
GDP = $3 trillion + $10 trillion + $4 trillion = $17 trillion
Answer & Explanation:
1. A steel tariff increases the price of steel : Increase in of 'Price of inputs' - decreases (leftward shifts) supply curve
2. Improvement in robotics increase efficiency & reduces costs : Upgradation of 'technology'- increases (rightward shifts) supply curve
3. Factories close because of am economic downturn : 'Number of sellers' reduce - decreases (leftward shifts) supply curve.
4. The price of trucks falls, so factories produce more cars : Decrease in 'price of related goods' - increases (rightward shifts) supply curve.
5. The government announces a plan to offer tax rebates for the purchase of commuter rail tickets : 'Expectations' regarding rise in relative price of cars - decreases (leftward shifts) supply curve.
6. The government announces that it will dramatically rewrite efficiency standards, making it much harder for automakers to produce their cars : 'Goverment policy' stringency - decreases (leftwards shifts) supply curve.
Answer:
1. Once a month, the sales department sends sales invoices to the accounting department to be recorded.
⇒ documentation procedures
Unless all of the company's sales take place only once a month, sales should be recorded as soon as possible. Accounting records must be as precise and accurate as possible, and they must be processed on time. Stacking invoices makes no sense, since sales might be on cash or the collection period might be very short. Who holds the money until the sales records are made?
2. Leah Hutcherson orders merchandise for Rice Lake Company; she also receives merchandise and authorizes payment for merchandise.
⇒ segregation of duties
One single person cannot be responsible for the whole process, since this creates a huge opportunity for fraud. Imagine if the person in charge of the inventory is also in charge of making new purchases, paying for them and reporting ending inventory. No company would be able survive one year, while the person in charge would get rich.
3. Several clerks at Great Foods use the same cash register drawer
⇒ establishment of responsibility
If everyone is allowed to collect money, no one can be responsible for any loss.
Answer:
Assuming that you can only choose one answer, the most suitable one would be (A) Chris designs models to make traffic flow better, which enables Brian to get to his company’s warehouse faster.
Explanation:
This answer is correct because Chris is a traffic planner – thus he merely designs the traffic flow, he does not create it, thus making answer (D) incorrect. Though (B) is true, it doesn’t relate to Chris’ career, making it false as well. As for (C), the answer is not correct because Chris doesn’t design the maps of the state, he only designs the traffic flow.
