Economic profits that are present in the short run.
Answer:
2.77
the bus company should decrease price to increase revenues.
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.
Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one
Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.
percentage change in price = 1.21 / 0.99 - 1 = 0.222 = 22%
Percentage change in quantity demanded = 169 / 433 = -0.6097 = - 60.97%
Elasticity of demand = 60.97% / 22% = 2.77
Demand is elastic, so if price in reduced, there would be a rise in quantity demanded that would exceed the rise in price. This would increase revenues
I think the answer you're looking for is 'D' if you're asking what productivity is in a generalized sense.
Answer: a.$275,000
Explanation:
Let us assume local production sales of 0 for simplicity of analysis.
At 0 there will be no Variable Costs and no fixed costs because they are dependant on the amount of units produced.
If then Rylan Corporation receives 25,000 units at $16 per unit this will change the Variable costs as it will have to incorporate the new units.
The question however says that normal production continues. This means that Fixed costs do not change. That means fixed costs remain at $0.
That means the only change will be the Variable costs of selling 25,000 units.
At a rate of $11 per unit we then have,
= 11 * 25,000
= $275,000
The costs have increased by $275,000 from 0 which means that $275,000 is the Incremental cost.
Note that Fixed and Variable costs of 0 are improbable and we're only used for simpler analysis. Feel free to try the question with other number of units for your own practice. You will arrive at the same answer regardless.
John's reaction is an example of the bystander effect.
It means that he will just continue staring at the accident because he is curious as to what happened and he wants to see how the event is resolved, however, he is not really willing to do anything to help the people involved - he will just assume someone else will do that.
