Answer:

B) is more price elastic in the long run than in the short run because in the long run a substitute for crude oil may be found.

Explanation:

First of all, the demand for oil is extremely inelastic in both the short run and the long run. It is extremely inelastic in the short run, because alternative energy sources or alternative materials are not a possibility in the short run. For example, Tesla which is one the most valuable car makers in the world, only sold 367,500 cars last year, while the Volkswagen group (sells 12 different car brands) sold over 10 million.

On the long run, the demand for oil is still very inelastic, but much less than in the short run. The PED in the short run is 0.061 v. 0.453 in the long run. Hopefully in the long run we (as humanity as a whole) will find a cleaner and safer substitute for oil. The probability of an oil substitute in the future makes the PED more elastic or it is better to say, less inelastic.

Answer: B. is more price elastic in the long run than in the short run because in the long run a substitute for crude oil may be found

Explanation:

The Demand for Crude oil is more elastic in the long run than in the short run because in the long run a substitute for crude oil may be found.

Crude oil is more elastic in the long run because consumers have enough time to find substitute products for crude oil. Price elasticity of demand in the short run  is low because consumers donot have sufficient time to look for substitutes , they donot have much of a choice but to take whatever price is charged by producers of crude oil

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

The elimination of the North division would result in an increase to net operating income of $100,000 for the South division.

Explanation:

Please see computation of the company's overall net profit

= South sales - South variable costs - South traceable fixed costs - South allocated common corporate cost - North allocated common corporate cost

= $880,000 - $550,000 - $80,000 - $50,000 - $100,000

= $100,000 profit.

N.B

Since the North division has been eliminated, all the items for North division would all be ignored except its allocated common corporate cost.

Answer:

Economic value added = $1,250,000

Explanation:

Economic value added (EVA) = Net operating profit after taxes - Invested capital * cost of capital

Economic value added= [($22,000,000 - $18,000,000) * (1 - 0.35)] - [$15,000,000 * 9%]

Economic value added =  ($4,000,000 * 0.65) - $1,350,000

Economic value added  = $2,600,000 - $1,350,000

Economic value added = $1,250,000

<h3><u>What is the Central Bank?</u></h3>

A financial institution with exclusive authority over the creation and distribution of money and credit for a country or a group of countries is known as the central bank. In contemporary economies, the central bank is typically in charge of monetary policy formulation and member bank regulation. Inherently non-market-based or even anti-competitive institutions are central banks. Many central banks, despite the fact that some have been nationalized, are not part of the government and are therefore frequently hailed as being politically independent. However, even though a central bank isn't technically the government's property, its rights are still created and safeguarded by the law.
