Answer:

the coefficient of elasticity is 0.5. Thus, demand is inelastic.

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.  

Price elasticity = 2/4 = 0.5

Because demand is less than1, big g has an inelastic demand.

forsale [732]

Answer:

Discs and the Internet are unreliable and often slow, and there's nothing quite as distracting as "<u>having this issue</u>" in the middle of a presentation.

Explanation:

Presentation is often a formal talk or sharing of ideas about a topic which can be on any field, matter, discovery, product, to an audience.    

Since discs are used for optical storage, which allows data storage and data retrieval are very good to store information for presentation.

However, discs can be unreliable likewise the internet. As a disc is a computer hardware, it can be attacked by a computer virus thereby affecting the stored data, and the internet speed also varies across locations, all these can cause distractions in the middle of a presentation especially if one needs the disc and the internet to be able to render a presentation efficiently.

At the beginning of 2017, Aristotle Company acquired a mine for $970,000. Of this amount, $100,000 was ascribed to the land valu
viktelen [127]

Answer: $225,000

Explanation:

Given that,

Company acquired a mine = $970,000 of this amount,

Land value = $100,000 and remaining  portion to the minerals in the mine

Ore appear to be in the mine = 12,000,000 units

Aristotle incurred development costs = $170,000

fair value of its obligation = $40,000

ore were extracted = 2,500,000 units

Units sold = 2,100,000

Depletion\ per\ unit = \frac{Mine\ acquiring\ cost + Development\ cost + Fair\ value\ of\ land - land\ value}{Ore\ appear\ to\ be\ in\ the\ mine}

                                       =\frac{970,000 + 170,000 + 40,000 - 100,000}{12,000,000}

                                       = $0.09 depletion per unit

The total amount of depletion for 2017 =  depletion per unit × ore were extracted

                                                                 = $0.09 × 2,500,000

                                                                 = $225,000

wel

Answer:

If computers are produced mostly by capital and beer is produced mostly by labor, the H-O model predicts that

Germany will export computers in exchange for beer.

Explanation:

The H-O model or Heckscher-Ohlin theory is an economic model about the comparative advantages of nations in international trade.  The model tries to explain the equilibrium of trade existing between two countries that have varying specialties and natural resources.  According to the H-O model, countries export more goods and services for which they have plenty resources than they do for goods and services for which they have scarce resources.  For example, if a country has capital in abundance, it will export more of capital-intensive products while it will import labor-intensive products, because it has scarce labor resources.

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

Profit will increase by $2.3

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

If instead of grooming 130130 ​dogs, he grooms 131131 ​dogs

Marginal cost = $65.82

Marginal revenue = $68.12

Now,

The effect on his profits of grooming 131 dogs instead of 130 ​dogs will be:

Change in profit = Marginal revenue - Marginal cost

or

Change in profit = $68.12 - $65.82

or

Change in profit = $2.3

Hence,

Profit will increase by $2.3
