Answer:

The Price elasticity of demand is -0.63

Explanation:

From the question,

Q1=64

Q2=59

P1=3.60

P2=4.10

%Change in Quantity = Q2-Q1 X 100 / [(Q2+Q1) / 2]

=59-64 X 100 / [(59+64) / 2]

=-5 / [123/2] X 100

=-5/61.5 X 100

=-500/61.5

=-8.13%

%Change in Price= P2-P1 X 100 / [(P2+P1) / 2]

=4.10-3.60 X 100 / [(4.10+3.60) / 2]

=0.50/ [7.7/2] X 100

=0.50/3.85 X 100

=50/3.85

=12.987%

Therefore Price elasticity of demand = -8.13/ 12.99

=-0.625

=-0.63

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

7.92%

Explanation:

The computation of the return on total assets is shown below:

Return on assets = (Net income) ÷ (average of total assets)

where,  

Net income is $2,100

Average total assets = (Beginning total assets + ending total assets) ÷ 2

= ($33,500 + $19,500) ÷ 2

= $26,500

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the ratio would equal to

= $2,100 ÷ $26,500

= 7.92%
