Answer:

The price elasticity of demand for Twinkies in the given price range is 0.641.

Explanation:

The price of Twinkies is reduced from $1.45 to $1.25.

The quantity of Twinkies demanded increases from 2,000 to 2,200.

Price elasticity of demand for Twinkies

= \frac{\frac{Q2 - Q1}{\frac{Q2 + Q1}{2} } }{\frac{P2 - P1}{\frac{P2 + P1}{2} } }

= \frac{\frac{2,200 - 2,000}{\frac{2,200 + 2,000}{2} } }{\frac{\$ 1.25 - \$ 1.45}{\frac{\$ 1.25 + \$ 1.45}{2} } }

= \frac{\frac{200}{\frac{4,200}{2} } }{\frac{\$ 0.20}{\frac{\$ 2.70}{2} } }

= \frac{\frac{200}{2100} }{\frac{\$ 0.20 }{\$ 1.35} }

= \frac{0.095}{0.148}

= 0.641

Answer:

The ped is 0.64 (rounded to 2 decimal places)

Explanation:

Elasticity  is the responsiveness of quantity demanded or sold with respect to price holding all other factors constant

Price elasticity of demand (Ped)  is the change in quantity demanded in a given  market as a result of changes in pricing of goods or services offered in that market.

Ped = percentage change in quantity demanded/ percentage change in price  

The mid-point method is carried out in three steps:

  1. Compute the average price and quantity given the changes in prices and quantity. In this case, average price is 1.35 ((1.45 +1.35)/2) and average quantity is 2100 ((2200 +2000)/2)
  2. Calculate the percentage change in both price and quantity. Using the price average as the denominator. the percentage change in price is 14.815  ((1.25-1.45)/1.35) and the percentage change in quantity is 9.524 ((2200-2000)/2100)
  3. Compute the Ped: 9.524/14.815 = 0.643

Note: the price elasticity of demand has no units

Answer:

The correct answer is B) coercive.

Explanation:

A coercive boss is a rigid and inflexible leader. When this style is used, the leader chooses to give many direct orders without offering his subordinates the opportunity to express their ideas and opinions.

This leader not only does not opt for the reward system but also focuses on criticizing and punishing the failures generated by disobedience. Therefore, the motivation of the team suffers greatly from the inability of employees to perceive that thanks to their work, business objectives are being achieved.

It is usually the least effective management style but ... it may be recommended in crisis situations when it is necessary to show authority and employees need clear and direct orders.

Explanation:

Direct Materials:                                                                   $  14.00

Direct Labor:   1.9 hours x $16 labor cost:                           $ 30.40

Overhead:
