Answer:

c. -3.07

Explanation:

price elasticity of demand = % change in quantity demanded / % change in price

  • % change in quantity demanded = (27,000 - 20,000) / 20,000 = 0.35 = 35%
  • % change in price = (45,000 - $50,800) / $50,800 = -0.114 = 11.4%

price elasticity of demand = 35% / -11.4% = -3.07 or |3.07| in absolute terms

since the price elasticity is higher than |1|, then it is price elastic, which means that a 1% change in price will change the quantity demand in a higher proportion.

Ahat [919]
Since the store is already close-- there's no point of having the employee to come in because as a security guard, it is best to protect the store and having to protect it in a way that a person shouldn't be let in when it is already closed even if the person looks like someone who is working in the store. If the employee has some excuses as to why he or she wants to come in, it best to respond in a way that he or she should come back when the store opens or during his or her shift.

laila [671]

eBay has an algorithm where they take 9% of what you make until that gets up to $50 which in this case doesnt' really matter. They would take 9% of every order so if you sold your item for $10 you would actually get like $9.10 or something similar.
