Answer:

The markup calculated as a result of information about the elasticity of demand

Explanation:

As a monopoly seller of pharmaceutical products the price set as markup would be above our marginal cost.

There are three facts about markup:

1. The Markup is not to be a price below marginal cost of the pharmaceutical product.

2. Markup is smaller when demand is more elastic. Remember if the price elasticity of demand is lower than 1, (negative) a rise in price causes an

increase in revenue for the seller.

Therefore having a -4 elasticity of demand could imply more profits for the firm.

Allisa [31]

Answer: $14,000 (Unfavorable)

Explanation: The book tax difference is the difference between the expenses for the book purpose in 2019 and the price of the option exercised. If the difference is positive it is unfavorable while if the difference is negative it is favorable.

Difference in book tax = The total value of the shares at the year - Amount of bargain element on option exercised.

Difference in book tax = ($40,000 × 1/2) - (1,000 × $6)

Difference in book tax = $20,000 - $6,000

Difference in book tax = $14,000

It is unfavorable because book tax expenses exceed the tax deductions.

Historically, 74% of credit card users carry a balance from month-to-month. A certain credit card company would like to study th
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

The probability more than 72% of the cardholders are carrying a balance is 0.2946

Explanation:

Test statistic (z) = (p' - p) ÷ sqrt[p(1-p) ÷ n]

p' is the sample proportion = 0.72

p is the population proportion = 0.74

n is the number of cardholders sampled = 140

z = (0.72 - 0.74) ÷ sqrt[0.74(1-0.74) ÷ 140] = -0.02 ÷ 0.037 = -0.54

The cumulative area of the test statistic is the probability that less than 72% of the cardholders are carrying a balance. The probability is 0.7054.

Probability (more than 72% of the cardholders are carrying a balance) = 1 - 0.7054 = 0.2946
