Answer:

b. The demand for the company’s products is elastic, so total revenue declines when prices are raised.

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.

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.

If prices are increased, the quantity demanded falls more than the percentage rise in price. As a result total revenue falls.

Demand is inelastic if a change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded.

If demand is inelastic and prices are increased, the change in quantity demanded would be less than the change in price , as a result , total revenue would rise.

I hope my answer helps you

discuss money supply and inappropriate government policies as causes of fluctuations in business cycles​
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

Economic growth can be caused by random fluctuations, seasonal fluctuations, changes in the business cycle, and long-term structural causes. Policy can influence the latter two.

Business cycles refer to the regular cyclical pattern of economic boom (expansions) and bust (recessions). Recessions are characterized by falling output and employment; at the opposite end of the spectrum is an “overheating” economy, characterized by unsustainably rapid economic growth and rising inflation. Capital investment spending is the most cyclical component of economic output, whereas consumption is one of the least cyclical. Government can temper booms and busts through the use of monetary and fiscal policy. Monetary policy refers to changes in overnight interest rates by the Federal Reserve. When the Fed wishes to stimulate economic activity, it reduces interest rates; to curb economic activity, it raises rates. Fiscal policy refers to changes in the federal budget deficit. An increasing deficit stimulates economic activity, whereas a decreasing deficit curbs it. By their nature, policy changes to influence the business cycle affect the economy only temporarily because booms and busts are transient. In recent decades, expansions have become longer and recessions shallower, perhaps because of improved stabilization policy, or perhaps because of good luck.

• The effects of government tax policy on long-term economic growth = Macroeconomics

• The optimal interest rate for the Federal Reserve to target = Macroeconomics

indicators that the local currency is also the functional currency include all of the following except:
Alchen [17]

Indicators that the local currency is also the functional currency include all of the following except the parent typically provides the financing or provides a guarantee.

A functional currency is one that is utilized in the main economic setting in which a company conducts business. This is the setting in which an entity generates and spends money most frequently. When defining the functional currency of an entity, the following key considerations should be taken into account:

The principal currency influencing retail prices (usually the currency in which prices are denominated and settled).

The money of the nation whose laws and competition have the biggest impact on retail pricing.

The principal currency affecting labor expenses and other costs of goods sold (usually the currency in which prices are denominated and settled).

The currency in which an entity keeps its operating receipts and the currency in which debt and equity instruments are issued are less important deciding factors.

Sally and Andy are partners in Just Hats, LLC. Andy works in the business for an agreed salary draw of $4,000 per month. Sally h
den301095 [7]

Answer:

Net income allocated to sally is $112000

Explanation:

Sally invested $200000 and Andy invested $100000, which means Andy's  investment is half of Sally's investment. So he will receive the half of what Sally will get.

Let

Sally's pay be x

Andy's pay be x/2

Total Net income is 168000 dollars.

So, putting it in an equation, we get

(x+x/2)=168000

x(1+0.5)=168000

x(1.5)=168000

x= 168000/1.5

x=112000

So Sally's share will be $112000

Andy's share will be x/2

=112000/2

=56000

So Andy share will be $56000
