Answer:
Explanation:
Provided that the demand is inelastic, there would be an increment in revenue.
Total revenue is calculated as the quantity of a good sold multiplied by its price.
There is a close interrelation between price elasticity of demand and total revenue, in the sense that they deal with the same two variables - which are price and quantity.
If the product has an elastic demand, revenue can be increased by decreasing the price of the good. Q will increase at a greater rate, while P will decrease, thereby, increasing the total revenue.
If the product has an inelastic demand, then the prices of goods can be increased and sold slightly less of that item but a higher revenue must be obtained.
Answer: B. Maintaining a steady dividend is a key goal of most dividend-paying companies.
Explanation:
Companies that pay dividends prefer in general, to maintain a steady dividend overtime. This does not necessarily mean that they will pay the same amount of dividend but rather that they will pay out dividends as within a certain percentage range of the net income.
Companies do not prefer to cut dividends so as not to send the wrong message so A is wrong. Share repurchases reduces agency costs so C is wrong. Short term fluctuations in cash flow are not the key favor in determining dividend policy as the company might still pay out the same regardless so this is wrong as well. Option B is the best answer.

Operating income $70,000 $633,400 $563,400
The company should process further and sell products B and C because its operating income will increase by $563,400.
Answer:
D. Falls, and net export rises.
Explanation:
When consumers decide to save more in a given economy due to consumer's confidence falling, the net export rises as producers and sellers would seek alternative measures in trying to sell their goods and services. So they begin to export their goods and services in order to offset the decrease in demand for that good or service locally.
Also, real exchange rate will also fall. This is as a result of increase in exportation and reduction in the prices of export.
