Answer:

C) 0.9.

Explanation:

The calculation  of the price elasticity of demand is shown below:

Price elasticity of demand is

= (Change in quantity demanded ÷ average of quantity demanded) ÷ (Change in price ÷ average of price)

where,

q1 = 11

q2 = 9

p1 = $100

p2 = $125

So,

= {(9 - 11) ÷ (9 + 11) ÷ 2}  ÷  {($125 - $100) ÷ ($125 + $100) ÷ 2 }

= {-2 ÷ 10} ÷ {25 ÷ 112.5 }

= -0.9

= 0.9

Answer:

In the restaurant business, self inspections can help you ensure that the food is always safe for your customers (better quality food) , lower the overall costs of the restaurant and helps to increase your reputation (a clean restaurant is always seen as a better restaurant).

Self inspection doesn't mean that the manager herself has to carry out the inspection, another employee can. Self inspection refers to making sure you comply with all regulations without having an inspector come and evaluate your restaurant. Self inspections will help the restaurant get higher inspection scores, and that was one of Brianna's major accomplishments.

Kisachek [45]

Expected dividend next year = $1.50

Trading at = $45

Expected growth rate per year = 9 percent

Dividend yield = (Expected dividend next year ÷ Trading amount) × 100

                        = ($1.50 ÷ $45) × 100

                        = 0.0333 × 100

                        = 3.33%

The capital gain of JUJU is same as the expected growth rate i.e 9 percent.

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

The answer is: the person whose photograph is snapped by the candid photographer.

Capital refers to accumulation of assets that is owned by a certain individual or organization that can be used to generate more income.

Candid photographers only take picture of the environment around them naturally (without any edits or settings). This mean that the person who is being photographed is not being paid. Since that person does not generate income, it cannot be considered as a capital.
