Answer:

The price elasticity of demand is -3.7

Explanation:

Price Elasticity of demand measure the responsiveness of demand against the change in price of the product.

Simple percentage method calculate the price elasticity by taking ratio of percentage change in Demand to percentage change in price of the product.

Percentage change in Demand = ( Revised demand - Initial demand ) / Initial demand  

Percentage change in Demand = ( 182 riders - 472 riders ) / 472 riders = -0.6144 = -61.44%  

Percentage change in Price = ( Revised Price - Initial Price ) / Initial Price  

Percentage change in Price = ( $0.78 - $0.67 ) / $0.67 = 0.1642 = 16.42%

Price Elasticity = Percentage change in Demand / Percentage change in price

Price Elasticity = -61.44% / 16.42% = -3.74 = -3.7

Anthony corporation reported the following amounts for the year: net sales$296,000 cost of goods sold 138,000 average inventory
VladimirAG [237]

In the given question GP ratio will be 53.4%

Here Net sales= 296000 $

Cost of goods sold= 138000 $

average inventory= 50000 $

Gross profit= Net sales- Cost of goods sold

                    =296000-138000

                     =158000

Formula for calculating Gross profit ratio is:

Gross profit/ Net sales *100

= 158000/296000*100

=53.4%

Gross profit ratio is a financial ratio which measures the performance and efficiency of a business by dividing its gross profit  by the total net sales. The gross profit ratio can also be expressed in  the form of percentage by multiplying the result by 100.
