Answer:
2.77
the bus company should decrease price to increase revenues.
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.
percentage change in price = 1.21 / 0.99 - 1 = 0.222 = 22%
Percentage change in quantity demanded = 169 / 433 = -0.6097 = - 60.97%
Elasticity of demand = 60.97% / 22% = 2.77
Demand is elastic, so if price in reduced, there would be a rise in quantity demanded that would exceed the rise in price. This would increase revenues

Answer:
Rate of change of rent [Seattle] = $95.5
Explanation:
Given:
2009 Rent $583
2015 Rent $745
2009 Boston $1,577
2015 Boston $2,150
2009 Seattle $958
2015 Seattle $1,600
Find:
Rate of change of rent [Seattle]
Computation:
Rate of change of rent [Seattle] = Change in price / Change in time
Rate of change of rent [Seattle] = [$2,150 - $1,577] / [2015 - 2009]
Rate of change of rent [Seattle] = $573 / 6
Rate of change of rent [Seattle] = $95.5
Answer:
D $88410
Explanation:
Work in progress includes all the raw materials, direct labour and conversion costs incurred so far excluding cost of goods sold .
WIP= Intial WIP +Manufacturing costs incurred- Cost of goods sold.
The WIP inventory at the begining of the period is given as nil.
WIP during the period = (95000*80%)+56000+13600+107000
=252600(but it was given that 65% of the Process was completedi.e., finished goodswhich are not the part of the WIP inventory ; hence the remaining 35% is the Work in process inventory)
=$ 88410.
Further the remaining raw material 20% = 95000*20% shall not comprise a part of the WIP as it has not been brought into process itself , it shall lie in raw materials inventory itself.It shall be counted into the WIP once it is brought into the manufacturing assembly line.
Answer:
E. Fixed Costs
Explanation:
Here are the options to this question :
A. Variable Costs
B. Labor Costs
C. Total Costs
D. Raw material Costs
E. Fixed Costs
Sunk costs are costs that have already been incurred and cannot be recovered. They should not be considered when making future economic decisions.
Fixed cost is cost that do not vary with production. e.g. rent
Most companies pay rent per year. if due to unforeseen contingencies, sales and profit of the company declines and the company decides to shut down production, the company has already paid for rent, this amount cannot be recovered even though the company would not be using the space for sometime. So, rent is an example of sunk cost
