Answer:

the price elasticity of demand is 1

Explanation:

The price elasticity of the demand using mid point formula is as follows:

Price elasticity of the demand is

= (change in quantity demanded ÷ average of quantity demanded) ÷ (percentage change in price ÷ average of quantity demanded)  

where,  

Change in quantity demanded is

= Q2 - Q1

= 36 - 30

= 6

And, average of quantity demanded is

= (36 + 30) ÷ 2

= 33

Change in price is

= P2 - P1

= $12 - $10

= $2

And, the average of price is

= ($12 + $10) ÷ 2

= 11

So, the price elasticity of demand is 1

Natali [406]

Answer:

Option A The impact of a change in the local currency on inflow and outflow variables can sometimes be indirect and therefore different from what is expected.

Explanation:

The reason is that the changes in the currency exchange rate in which the company receives the payment and is also not a home currency, such risk exposure is known as economic exposure. So the only option that correct here is option A.

Suppose the tax rate on the first​ $10,000 of income is 0​ percent; 10 percent on the next​ $20,000; 20 percent on the next​ $20
dsp73

Answer:

option (A) $32,000 for A and $7500 for B

Explanation:

Given:

Tax rate as:

on the first​ $10,000 of income = 0%

10% on the next​ $20,000

20% on the next​ $20,000

30% on the next​ $20,000

40% on income over​ $70,000

Income of family A = $120,000

Thus,

For A

Up to $10,000 ; tax = 0

Tax amount from $10,000 to $30,000 at 10 % tax rate

= 10% × $20,000

= $2,000

From $30,000 to $50,000 at 20 % tax rate

= $20,000 × 20%

= $4,000

From $50,000 to $70,000 at 30 % tax rate

= $20,000 × 30%

= $6,000

Tax amount above $70,000 to $120,000 at 40 % tax rate

= (120,000 - $70,000) × 40%

= $50,000 × 40%

= $20,000

Therefore,

Total tax bill for family A

= $2,000 + $4,000 + $6,000 + $20,000

= $32,000

Similarly,

For family B

Income of family B = $55,000

Thus,

Up to $10,000 = $0

From $10,000 to $30,000 at 10 % tax rate

= $20,000 × 10%

= $2,000

From $30,000 to $50,000 at 20 % tax rate

= $20,000 × 20%

= $4,000

Tax amount from $50,000 to $70,000 at 30 % tax rate

= ($55,000 - $50,000) × 30%

= $5,000 × 30%

= $1,500

Therefore,

Total tax bill for family B = $2,000 + $4,000 + $1,500 = $7,500

Hence,

The correct answer is option (A) $32,000 for A and $7500 for B
