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

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

11.07%

Explanation:

The formula to compute WACC is shown below:

= Weightage of debt × cost of debt × ( 1- tax rate) + (Weightage of  common stock) × (cost of common stock)

= (0.25 × 8%) × ( 1 - 34%) +  (0.75 × 13%)

= 1.32% + 9.75%

= 11.07%

We simply multiply the weighatge with its capital structure so that the correct weightage cost of capital can come.

In order to be the basis for a firm's superior performance, a bundle of resources must be valuable, rare, and imitable.
frozen [14]

Answer:

The statement is: False.

Explanation:

A bundle of resources has three characteristics: valuable (<em>the resource helps the company to pursue its objectives and is priceless for consumers</em>), rare (<em>limited competition</em>), and inimitable (<em>resource is not easy to reproduce by the firm's closest competitors or imitating it is expensive</em>).

Being<em> imitable </em>is the opposite of what a bundle of resources should be.

Basile [38]

Answer:

PED= 0.1571

Explanation:

The price elasticity of demand (PED) indicates how the quantity demanded change when the price changes. Is defined by this equation:  

Price Elasticity of Demand = Percentage change in Q/ Percentage change in P  

In this case, the problem is giving percentage changes in Q but we must calculate the percentage change in price:

%Change in price = ( p2-p1/p1)*100= ($4.09-$2.96)/$2.96= 0.3817*100=38.17%

%Change in quantity is= -6%

PED= -6%/38.17%

In absolute value:

PED= 0.1571

If the PED is less than 1 then gasoline is considered as inelastic.
