Answer:

The correct answer is: Increase the price in order to increase revenue.

Explanation:

To begin with, the price elasticity of demand for a product is the concept known in the economics that refers to the variation that happens in the quantity demanded of a product when the price of it changes a bit. Moreover, when the price elasticity of demand is 0.5 the product is relatively inelastic and therefore that if the price increases the quantity demanded will basically stay the same more less and that is why if the price increases the product will no suffer changes in its quantity demanded and that will cause the supplier to earn a higher total revenue.

For each of the following products, indicate whether you believe demand will be relatively price elastic or relatively price ine
insens350 [35]

Answer:

Note that goods that are considered in general have a broad demand and goods with broad demand are inelastic as there are no substitutes for them. Goods that are specific by nature have narrow demand and have elastic demand because consumers can switch to others if the price is increased slightly.

Hence, Mayonnaise in general, Washing machines and beer have inelastic demand as there are no close substitutes. The remaining three, namely, specific brand of mayonnaise, Chevrolet automobiles and Tesla automobiles have elastic demand as there are substitutes and consumers/users will switch to others if the price is no more favorable.

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

C) 4.2 years

Explanation:

The computation of the payback period is as follows;

As we know that

Payback Period = Initial cost ÷ Annual net cash flow

Here

Initial cost = $278000

Annual net cash flow = Incremental after tax + Depreciation per year

where,  

Depreciation per year = (Original cost - Salvage value) ÷ Estimated Life

= ($278,000 - $30,000) ÷ 8 years

= $31,000

Annual net cash flow is

= $35000 + $31000

= $66000

So,

Payback Period is

= $278000 ÷ $66000

= 4.2 Years
