Answer:

c. 2.50.

Explanation:

Elasticity of demand is defined as the degree of responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in the price of a commodity. It is calculated as percentage change in quantity demanded divided by percentage change in price.

Elasticity is considered elastic if the value is above one, and is means an increase in price results in significant decrease in demand.

When elasticity is less than 1 it is said to be inelastic and increase in price does not result in significant change in demand.

Percentage change in quantity= (30millon- 20 million)/20 million= 0.5

Percentage change in price= (100-80)/100

Percentage change in price= 20/100= 0.2

Elasticity= 0.5/0.2= 2.5

Explain why we can say that maximizing firm value is equal to maximizing stockholders’ equity.
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

Because stakeholders are a part of the company

Explanation:

Stakeholders and stockholders are the people who are considered as a major part of any organisation. Shareholders, managers, owners and employees are the stakeholder. Increase in the firm’s value indirectly benefits the shareholders because it also improves their value and it also maximises their shareholder equity. Increase in the firm’s value means an increase in the share price and equity.

If the market price of each camera case is $8 what is the profit-maximizing quantity? 300 units 400 units 500 units 600 units
Serjik [45]

Profit will be maximum for the firm where marginal revenue = marginal cost.

Since, the market price is fixed at $8 and therefore each additional unit of camera will be sold at $8.
Hence, marginal revenue = $8.

From the table, it is clear that cameras are manufactured in batches of 100.

Marginal cost is the cost incurred to produce one additional unit of camera. It will be calculated by taking the difference of successive variable costs (or total costs) divided by 100.

To produce 400th unit, marginal cost = (2760 - 1960)/100 = $8

Hence, profit maximising quantity isB. 400 (MR = MC)
