Answer:

Highly inelastic

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand is a measure of the demand of a given service or commodity by utilizing it's price change. It can be calculated using the formula;

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

%change in quantity demanded=((Final demand-Initial demand)/Initial demand)×100

((299-300)/300)×100=-0.33%

%change in price=12%

12%>0.33%

The change in price is larger than the change in demand, therefor the product is highly inelastic

UNO [17]

Answer:

Annual demand (U) = 90.000 bags

Cost of each bag = $1.50

Inventory carrying cost per unit(C) = $1.50 × 20% = 0 30

Ordering cost per unit (O) = $15

Part A)

EOQ = \sqrt{\frac{2UO}{C}}

EOQ = \sqrt{\frac{2 * 90000 * 15}{0.30}}

EOQ = \sqrt{9000000}

EOQ = 3,000

Part B)

Maximum inventory = EOQ + Safety inventory on hand  

Maximum inventory = 3000 + 1000

Maximum inventory = 4.000

Part C)

Average inventory = Maximum inventory + Minimum or Safety /2

Average inventory = 4,000 + 1,000 / 2

Average inventory =2,500

Part D)

How often company order = Annual demand / EOQ

How often company order = 90,000 / 3.000

How often company order = 30

By 110,000 the retained earnings reduced by the property dividend.

Explanation:

Retained Earnings: The retained earnings is that earnings which is left after all payments relating to the business expenses, shareholder dividend. The earnings which is to be retained so that it can come in use in near future.

For retained earning calculation, the stock market value is recorded when the date is declared not on distribution date.

So, the calculation is computed below:

As the 50,000 shares is given for every 10 shares. So, first we have to compute for 1 share which comes by dividing shares to number of shares i.e.  50,000 shares ÷ 10 shares = 5,000 for 1 share.

Now, multiply by market value which comes = 5,000 × $22 = $110,000.

So, by 110,000 the retained earnings reduced by the property dividend.

In standstill water a steam boat is accelerated 3 m per square from position of rest in an interval of 8 sec determine the dista
iragen [17]

<h2>Given:-</h2>

  • Acceleration ,a = 3m/s

  • Initial velocity ,u = 0m/s

  • Time taken ,t = 8s

<h3>To Find:-</h3>

  • Distance travel by the boat ,s
<h3 /><h3>Solution:-</h3>

We have to calculate the distance covered by the boat in given time interval. Using 2nd equation of motion

<h3>s = ut + 1/2at²</h3><h3 />

where,

v is the final velocity

a is the acceleration

u is the initial velocity

t is the time taken

s is the distance covered

Substitute the value we get

:⟹ s = 0×8 + 1/2×3 × 8²

:⟹ s = 0 + 1/2 × 3 × 64

:⟹ s = 3/2 × 64

:⟹ s = 3 × 32

:⟹ s = 96 m

Hence, the distance covered by the steam boat is 96 metres.
