Answer:

Part 1 : -7.6

Part 2: 15.2%

Part 3: Orange County

Explanation:

Part 1. Price Elasticity:

The formula for Price Elasticity is:

Price Elasticity = Percentage Change in Quantity Demanded divided by the percentage change in price.

So,

We need percentage change in price and percentage change in quantity demanded in order to solve for price elasticity of demand in San Bernardino County.

So,

As we know that,

In San Bernardino County, the median price rose 1.5% to $340,000 and sales fell 11.4%.

Hence,

The Percentage Change in Price = 1.5

The Percentage Change in Quantity Demanded = -11.4

Just Plugging in these values in the Price Elasticity formula, we get:

Price Elasticity of Demand = -11.4 / 1.5

Price Elasticity of Demand = -7.6

Part 2: Condition Given: If Price increased by 2%

So,

In this we are asked to find the percentage change in quantity demanded.

Therefore, we will use the same formula of Plasticity of demand.

Price Elasticity of Demand = Percentage Change in Quantity Demanded divided by the percentage change in price.

Making Percentage Change in Quantity Demanded as subject:

Percentage Change in Quantity Demanded = Price Elasticity multiplied by the percentage change in price.

Here,

Percentage Change in price = 2%

Price Elasticity of Demand = -7.6

Just plugging in these values in to the formula:

Percentage Change in Quantity Demanded = -7.6 x 2

Percentage Change in Quantity Demanded = -15.2

Therefore, Holding the price elasticity of demand constant, sales in San Bernardino County would fall by _15.2_% if prices increased by 2%.

Part 3:

To solve this part, first we need to understand the law of demands:

Law of demands says that the relationship of change in price and change in quantity demanded is inversely proportional keeping all other factors constant. So, if price goes high, quantity demanded will go down and vice versa.

And here,

In _Orange__ County, the law of demand appears to be violated.

Assume personal tax rates are lower than corporate tax rates. From a tax-paying shareholder point of view, how should a firm spe

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer: e. repurchase shares

Explanation:

If the personal tax rates are lower than corporate tax rates then the company should engage in an activity that would put money into the pockets of shareholders such that they would take advantage of the lower personal tax rates.

The best way to do that would be a share repurchase. The company would probably buy at above market rates which would give shareholders capital gain and they wouldn't have to pay much taxes on it as personal rates are lower.

Answer:

False

Explanation:

There are 3 main decision making styles that most of us have regarding our normal day to day activities that includes our work and our personal lives, e.g. families and individual decisions. They are consumer, business, and personal decision making styles.

But managers, and specially true leaders have it a little more complicated. The four main decision making styles that apply to leaders are:

directive: type of autocratic leadership where the leader decides everything by himself/herself
conceptual: look for different alternatives and analyze each one of them
consultative: seek advice from colleagues and subordinates, but the leader makes the decision
consensus: seek advice from others and decisions are made by the group

The second part of the question is true; this leadership styles vary across countries, occupations and job levels.

When the price of good A is $50, the quantity demanded of good A is 500 units. When the price of good A rises to $70, the quanti

olga55 [171]

Answer: The price elasticity of demand for good A is 0.67, and an increase in price will result in a increase in total revenue for good A

Explanation:

The following can be deduced form the question:

P1 = $50

P2 = $70

Q1 = 500 units

Q2 = 400 units

Percentage change in quantity = [Q2 - Q1 / (Q2 + Q1) ÷ 2 ] × 100

Percentage change in price = [P2 - P1 / (P2 + P1) ÷ 2 ] × 100

% change in quantity = (400 - 500)/(400 + 500)/2 × 100

= -100/450 × 100

= -22.22%

% change on price = (70 - 50)/(70 + 50)/2 × 100

= 20/60 × 100

= 33

Price elasticity of demand = % change in quantity / % change on price

= -22.22 / 33

= -0.67

This means that a 1% change in price will lead to a 0.67% change in quantity demanded. As there was a price change, there'll be a little change in quantity demanded because demand is inelastic. Thereby, he increase in price will lead to an increase in the total revenue.

Therefore, the price elasticity of demand for good A is 0.67, and an increase in price will result in an increase in total revenue for good A
