Answer:

Correct option is (A)

Explanation:

Given:

Percentage change in price = 10%

Decrease in quantity demanded in terms of percentage = -15%

Price elasticity of demand measures the proportional change in quantity demanded due to proportional change in price. It is given by the following formula:

Price elasticity of demand = % change in quantity demanded / % change in price.

                                            = -15% / 10%

                                            = -1.5

A negative coefficient of price elasticity goes with the law of demand that states that increase in prices lead to decrease in quantity demanded.

A developer purchased three oceanfront lots, each measuring 75 by 110 feet, for $20 per square foot. The developer later sold th
AleksAgata [21]

Answer: 21%

Explanation: The developer purchased 3 properties and he can buy each property for $20 per square foot.

Therefore: 75 × 110 =8250 square feet.

8250 × $20 = $165 000 per lot.

Each lot was sold for $200 000. Which means the developer made profits of:

$200 000 - $165 000 = $35 000 per lot.

The percentage of profit on each lot is:

Percentage of profit on cost amount:

= \frac{35 000}{165 000}

= 0.2121212 recurring × 100

= 21,21%

Percentage of profit on sale amount:

= \frac{35000}{200000}

= 0.175 × 100

= 17,5%

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

(a) S-Type

Explanation:

Taxation can be defined as the involuntary or compulsory fees levied on individuals or business entities by the government to generate revenues used for funding public institutions and activities.

The different types of tax include the following;

1. Income tax: a tax on the money made by workers in the state. This type of tax is paid by employees with respect to the amount of money they receive as their wages or salary.

2. Property tax: a tax based on the value of a person's home or business. It is mainly taxed on physical assets or properties such as land, building, cars, business, etc.

3. Sales tax: a tax that is a percent of the price of goods sold in retail stores. It is being paid by the consumers (buyers) of finished goods and services and then, transfered to the appropriate authorities by the seller.

A company with single taxation is called S-Type i.e sole proprietorship.

Basically, a sole proprietorship business is a type of business that is owned by a single person and as such their profits are taxed once as personal income tax.
