Full question attached

Answer:

Not elastic

Explanation:

The formula for demand elasticity= percentage change in quantity/percentage change in price

Therefore demand elasticity = Q2-Q1/Q2+Q1/2/P2-P1/P2+P1/2

Using graph of demand attached

= 12-15/12+15/2/21-15/21+15/2

= -3/27/2/6/36/2

=-2/9/1/3

=-2/3

=-0.67

Elasticity is less than one and so demand is inelastic

(3) To calculate the cost of producing one watch if the company produced 110,000 watches in 2018

Sales / Numbers of watches produced

= 269,500 / 110,000

= $2,45

Workings of schedule of cost of Goods Manufactured

Utilities =0.65 × 9,200 = 5,980

Insurance = 0.7 × 2,500 = 1,750

Rent Expense = 0.9 × 27,000 = 24,300

Factory equipment depreciation = Cost - Salvage value / Number of years

= 50,000 - 5,000 / 5

= 45,000 /5

= 9,000

Workings of cost of Goods sold

Cost of good sold = Beginning finished good inventory + Cost of Good Manufactured - Ending finished good inventory

= 3,750 + 191,830

= 195,580

Workings of income statement

Utilities = 0.35 × 9,200 = 3,220

Insurance= 0.3 × 2,500 = 750

Selling Expense = 0.35 × 34,700 = 12,145

Administrative expense = 0.3 × 30,900 = 9,270

10% of rent expense allocated to selling & Administrative

Selling = 0.1 × 34,700 = 3,470

Administrative = 0.1 × 30,900 = 3,090

Income taxes = 0.21 × 27,275 = 5,727.75

In a department meeting, javier shares some research on new software he thinks the company should purchase. roger agrees with ja
katovenus [111]

In this scenario, Roger's behaviour would best be classified as an elaborator.

While working in a group each individual contributes in their own ways.

Benne and Sheats defined roles in a group and classified them in three categories. These categories are

1. Task roles : relate to actually achieving the task goals.

2. Personal Roles : relate to the interpersonal relationships between team members. A highly qualified team, when all team members with a high ego will not be able to achieve the desired goal within the deadline.

3.Dysfunctional Roles: do not contribute in any way to a group. They are only interested in serving their own interests and more often than not, are responsible for disruptions and discord within the group.

The right combination of various roles in a group goes a long way in achieving a goal.

The Elaborator is a task role. The Elaborator takes up an idea and gives his views on how that idea might turn out if it is implemented in the given suggestion.
