Answer:

increase

Explanation:

When new providers enter a competitive market, parameters such as equilibrium price, supply and demand tend to change. The higher the number of sellers, the higher the production tends to be for each price level. The same is true if production costs go down, as this is an incentive for each salesperson to produce and deliver more so as to maximize their revenue.

Increase or shift right because if the cost of production goes down then the supplier can make more products for less money therefore making the supply of a good more. if there are more supplier then the same thing happens. more product in the market.

You are selling a product on commission, at the rate of $1,000 per sale. To date, you have spent $800 promoting a particular pro

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Either you quit trying and lose $800 sunk, or you spend $800 for $1,600 total in which the Net from the sale of $1,000 would results in a loss of $600. That means it will be of good to lose $600 than $800.

Explanation:

Since $800 has been spent which means Spending up to an additional $1,000 is still reasonable, but a condition in which you know that the deal will definitely go through.

Secondly since you have already sunk $800, and you know that spending an additional $800 would guarantee it, you can do one among this two options which are either you stop trying and lose the $800 sunk, or you the spend $800 for $1,600($1,000+$600) total in which the Net from the sale of $1,000 would results in a loss of $600($1,000-$800=200,$800-$200=$600). That means it will be of good to lose $600 than $800.

One of the more important business applications of demand elasticity is the relationship between price and total revenue. For ea

user100 [1]

Answer:

Part 1. inelastic.

Part 2. inelastic.

Part 3. inelastic.

Explanation:

When the coefficient of elasticity of demand is less than 1, demand is inelastic, when it is equal to 1, demand is unitary elastic, when it is greater than 1, demand is elastic, and when it is equal to zero demand is perfectly inelastic.

Part 1

Price Elasticity of demand = (dQ/dP) x P/Q

Where : dQ = Change in Quantity

dP = Change in Price

P = Initial or Old price

Q = Initial of Old Quantity

dQ = $35,000 - $40,000 = - $5,000

dP = $10 - $8 = $2

P = $8

Q = $40,000

Price Elasticity of demand = (-$5,000/$2) * $8/ $40,000

= 2,500 * 1/5000 = -0.5

Disregard the minus sign, since elasticity of demand is less than 1, demand is inelastic.

Part 2

Price Elasticity of demand = (dQ/dP) x P/Q

dQ = $1,800 - $2,000 = - $200

dP = $50 - $40 = $10

P = $40

Q = $2,000

Price Elasticity of demand = (-$200/$10) * $40/ $2,000

= 20 * 0.02 = -0.4

Disregard the minus sign, since elasticity of demand is less than 1, demand is inelastic.

Part 3

Price Elasticity of demand = (dQ/dP) x P/Q

dQ = $120 - $150 = - $30

dP = $5 - $4 = $1

P = $4

Q = $150

Price Elasticity of demand = (-$30/$1) * $4/ $150

= 30 * 2/75 = - 0.8

Disregard the minus sign since elasticity of demand is less than 1, demand is inelastic.

Explanation:

The formula for Raw Materials Used is given below:

Opening Raw Materials + Purchases - Closing Raw Materials = Raw Materials Used

Putting Values:

⇒ Raw Materials Used = 7,600 + 31,500 - 4,300 = $34,800.

A rich donor gives a hospital $100,000 one year from today. Each year after that, the hospital will receive a payment 5% larger

wariber [46]

Answer:

D) $779,843.27

Explanation:

The present value of this donation = Donation in Year 1/(1+ discount rate)^9 + Donation in Year 2/(1+ discount rate)^8 + ….. + Donation in Year 2/(1+ discount rate)^1

= $100,000/(1+9%) + $100,000*(1+5%)/(1+9%)^2 +$100,000*(1+5%)^2/(1+9%)^3…. +$100,000*(1+5%)^9/(1+9%)^10 = $779,843.27

Or we can easily input in excel and generate NPV as file attached; in which the formula is NPV(discount rate, cash inflow year 1 : cash inflow year 10) = (9%, 100000,100000*(1+5%)….,100000*(1+5%)^9) = $779,843.27
