Answer:
Urgency / Postponement leads to customer inelastic demand of ice melt.
Explanation:
Elasticity of demand is responsive change in demand of good, due to change in price. Formula = % change in demand / % change in price
Factors Affecting Price Elasticity of Demand : Nature of commodity, Income, substitutes availability, time period, urgency / postponement, share in total expenditure,
Inelastic Demand is when demand responds proportionately less to price change. % change in demand < % change in price
Case 'Customer critically needs ice melt to drive to work' : This has inelastic demand i.e demand less respondent to price changes (he will buy that at high price too). Such because of the urgency of this demand & less scope of its postponement.
Answer:
The approximate price elasticity of demand between these two prices is
- 0.42
Explanation:
In this question ,we use the formula of price elasticity of demand which is shown below:
Price elasticity of demand = Percentage change in quantity demanded ÷ Percentage change in price
where,
Percentage change in quantity demanded is calculated by
= New Quantity - Old quantity ÷ New Quantity + Old quantity
= 350 - 310 ÷ 350 + 310
= 40 ÷ 660
= 0.06060
Percentage change in price is calculated by
= New price - Old price ÷ New price + Old price
= 9 - 12 ÷ 9 + 12
= - 3 ÷ 21
= - 0.14285
Now put these values over the above formula
So, the answer is = 0.06060 ÷ - 0.14285 = - 0.42
Hence, the approximate price elasticity of demand between these two prices is - 0.42
E. 22.5 percent should be the answer
Answer:
option (d) $200.00
Explanation:
Average total cost for 100 pairs = $2.50
Marginal cost for every pair = $10.00
Now,
Total cost = Fixed cost + Variable cost
or
Fixed cost = Total cost - variable cost
or
Fixed cost = (Average total cost × 100) - (Marginal cost × 100)
= ($2.5 × 100) - ($1 × 100)
= $250 - $100
= $150
thus,
Total cost to produce 50 pairs of oven gloves
= fixed cost + variable cost
= $150 + (50 × $1)
= $150 + $50
= $200
Hence,
option (d) $200.00
The correct answer is C. Money is safer in the bank.
Explanation:
The main point or position of Jonas is that savings should be kept in an account due to the costs associated with this. In this context, the only argument that refutes Jonas' position and it is directly related to the main point of Jonas is "Money is safer in the bank" because even if keeping savings in a bank requires to pay fees this guarantees the money will be safe, which does not occur if Jonas keeps his savings at home. Moreover, the safety factor makes the option of the bank better, which refutes Jonas position.
