Answer:

a. 21 percent

b. -20 percent

c. -8 percent

d. -8 percent

Explanation:

Own price elasticity = -3

Income elasticity = -2

Advertising elasticity= 4

Cross price elasticity = -2

Formula for elasticity is given by,

Elasticity = \frac{Percentage change in Quantity}{Percentage change in factor}

a. When price of good X decreases by 7 percent.

Elasticity = \frac{Percent change in quantity}{Percent change in own price}

-3 = \frac{Percent change in quantity}{-7}

Percent change in quantity = (-3) * (-7)  = 21

Thus, as price decreases by 7% quantity rises by 21%.

b. The price of good Y increases by 10 percent.

Corss- price elasticity = \frac{Percent change in quantity}{Percent change in Price of good Y} \\  -2     = \frac{Percent change in quantity }{10} \\Percent change in quantity = (-2) * (10) \\                                              = -20

Thus, as price of good Y increases by 10 percent, demand for good X falls by 20 percent.

c. Advertising decreases by 2 percent.

Elasticity = \frac{Percent change in quantity}{Percent change in advertising} \\4    = \frac{Percent change in quantity }{-2} \\Percent change in quantity = (-2) * (4) \\                                               = -8

Thus, a 2 percent decline in advertising will lead to a 8 percent fall in quantity of good X.

d. Income increases by 4 percent.

Income elasticity = \frac{Percent change in quantity }{Percent change in income}\\-2 = \frac{Percent change in quantity}{4} \\Percent change in quantity = (-2) * (4) \\                                               = -8\\

Thus, when income increases by 4 percent, quantity decreases by 8 percent.

Is called collusion

It's actually price collusion to be precise ( not to be mistaken for the crime collusion)

Often time, to attract customers, sellers will offer a lower price than their competitor. Though it may attract more customer, it will lower their profit.

In price collusion, all sellers is guaranteed to have same product price and profit margin, creating a perfect competition market for that product

Which method of entering international markets generally involves the least risk?
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

<em>Exports</em>: Exporting your products directly to the international market is the least riskiest methods for the organisations in going global and reaching international customers.

Explanation:

Why organisation goes in the international markets

An organisation enters in the international market to expand its operations, increase its sales, consequently, increase profits.

Possible available methods to enter international markets

There are many possible methods available by which an organisation can enter in the international Markets, which are manifested below:

1: Exporting your own products to international market

In this method, an organisation produce their own products locally in their own premises and factories and start sending and selling them to the other markets worldwide.  

2: Hiring agents in the international market or having contracts with them

In this method, an organisation tries going international by contacting some foreign agents. Afterwards, it depends whether to hire them temporarily or permanently, or to have some mutual contract with them for selling their products in that market. Moreover, it also depends if they want to get their product manufactured in that country or not.

3: Going global by Franchising/Licencing, Strategic Alliance, Joint Venture or opening Foreign Subsidiary directly.

Here, organisation goes global by giving the exclusive rights of producing its products, using its brand name and selling them in the foreign market, by franchising/licencing. (Franchising is purely a term used for the companies who deal with the products which also needs to be manufactured, whereas, Licencing is used for the service organisation)

In strategic alliance, an organisation joins hands with other foreign organisation(s) and become business partners to achieve some agreed upon results while remaining independent entities.

In Joint venture organisations create a totally new company by pooling their resources, capabilities and expertise sharing all the profits and risks.

In Foreign subsidiary, an organisation from the local country, set up its an entirely new unit, premises and operational facilities there in the foreign country by utilizing its own resources.

Which Method is the least Riskiest and why?

As it has been manifested above that what each method entails, and what is required in each method. Exporting your goods directly from your country to the international market by having them manufactured locally is the last riskiest because you have control of your own operations, products, manufacturing facilities, quality, furthermore, no additional investment is needed to look after your foreign operations at all, therefore, much less risk is involved here in <u>exporting</u> as compared to the all other available methods.
