If the price elasticity of demand for Mountain Dew is 4.4 then "mountain dew has a high price elasticity of demand".
<u>Answer:</u> Option D
<u>Explanation:</u>
In economics "Price elasticity of demand" (PED) is a metric required to illustrate the flexibility or elasticity of a product or service's required quantity to increase its value when nothing but the value of product vary. When mountain dew have price elasticity of demand is 4.4 this follows that a price increase of 10 percent would result in the quantity needed decline by 44%
as illustrated below:
4.4 = (% quantity change) / (% price change)
4.4 = x / 10
x = -4.4 (10) = -44% here negative sign shows decline in quantity required.
Answer:
15,251 units
Explanation:
The formula for Economic order quantity is;
EOQ = √2DS/H
Where,
D = Annual demand = 4,212
S = Ordering cost = $177
H = Holding cost = $27/4,212 = $0.00064102564
EOQ = √ 2 × 4,212 × $177 / $0.00064102564
EOQ = √ $1,491,048 / $0.00064102564
EOQ = √232603488.37
EOQ = 15,251 units
<span>The net benefits of each public good will be the total cost of the project minus the $300 cost per person. If the project costs 600$ the net benefits for each public good will be $300.
$600(total cost) - $300(cost per person) = $300(net benefits)</span>
Answer: b. Economies of Scope
Explanation:
Economies of Scope refers to a situation where a company is able to reduce the cost of producing two or more goods by combining their production thereby leading to savings in the production process.
Economies of Scope in effect points out that there are some goods that when produced in tandem with another, lead to a cost reduction which means that its savings is <em>based on variety</em>.
Goods that usually achieve Economies of Scope are goods that are compliments, produced by similar methods or use similar inputs for production.
Firm A merging with Firm B produced the 5 radios and batteries cheaper so the new company is experiencing Economies of Scope.
