Answer:
The correct answer is E, Information Resources.
Explanation:
Factors of production include Labor, Capital, Entrepreneurs and physical resources. But in the recent years, information has become the vital resource for organizations. Correct information and knowledge about a specific thing is crucial to the organization. For example if a company wants to introduce its new product and specifies a target audience, if the company doesn't get the accurate information about the needs and demands of that specific target area, other factor of production won't be of any use. So this information resource has become a vital and important part of the factors of production.
Answer: work hard; $65; less; $85
Explanation:
The following can be deduced from the question:
The Expected profit from working hard will be:
= (90% × $200) + (10% × $50)
= (0.9 × $200) + (0.1 × $50)
= $180 + $5
= $185
Then, the profit will be the difference between revenue and coat which will be:
= $185 - $100
= $85
Then, the expected profit from shirking will be:
= (90% × $50) + (10% × $200)
= (0.90 × $50) + (0.10 × $200)
= $45 + $20
= $65
Then, the profit will be:
= $65 - $0
= $65
Eric will (work hard) because the net gain of ($65) from shirking is (less) than the net gain of ($85) from working hard.
Answer: b. Set higher prices to the students as their demand is relatively more inelastic.
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the change in quantity demanded to changes in price levels.
If demand is inelastic, a small change in price has a small effect on quantity demanded. An inelastic demand usually has a coefficient of less than 1.
The elasticity of demand for students and senior citizens are both inelastic but that of the students is greater than that of senior citizens. They are less responsive to price changes when compared with senior citizens.
