In​ 1916, the ford motor company sold​ 500,000 model t fords at a price of​ $440. henry ford believed that he could increase sal

es of the model t by​ 1,000 cars for every dollar he cut the price. use this information to calculate the price elasticity of demand loading... for model t fords. use the midpoint formula in your calculation. assuming the price decreases by​ $1 and the quantity increases by 1000​ cars, the price elasticity of demand for model t fords is nothing ​(enter your response rounded to two decimal​ places).

For the answer to the question above,
we must use this formula,
(New - Old)/ (Ave. of New and Old)

In this case,
501k -500k/(500,500(which is the ave. of the two.
Then it would be 1k/500,500

Then the answer would be .0020
Then
-1.439.5/439.5 because this is the average of the two.
so the answer would be .0023

Then finally divide the rate on change of quantity by the rate of change in price which is
0.002/-0.0023

Then the answer would be -.87

So the elasticity on the demand of model T is .87 ( remove the negative because elasticity is always positive.)

Answer:

The term has two distinct meanings–one is statistical; the other is a comprehensive quality system.

Explanation:

Here, the point fact states that it will take a six standard deviation from the mean for an error to happen.

Six Sigma evolved to define numerous ideas within the business sphere and is sometimes confusing. Firstly, it's a statistical benchmark. Any business process, which produces less than 3.4 defects per 1 million chances is said to be efficient. A defect is anything produced outside of consumer satisfaction. Second, it is a training and certification program, which teaches the core principles of Six Sigma. Practitioners may achieve the Six Sigma certification belt levels, ranging from white belt to black belt. Finally, it's a philosophy, which promotes the idea that all business processes can be measured and optimized.

Paha777 [63]
<span>Joe's business is most likely a type of sole proprietorship. Sole proprietorships are usually ran by one person who accounts for all of the business expenses as part of their personal taxes so there is no difference between personal and business. This form of business also does not need to file any paperwork with the state. The owner just needs a business license.</span>
