Answer:

Explanation:

Price elasticity = Percentage change in demand/Percentage change in Price

Percentage change in Q= 513-236=277/513x100 = 53.99%

Percentage change in P= 0.89-0.67= 0.22/0.67x100 = 32.83%

Ed=53.99/32.83 = 1.6

Since the price elasticity of demand is elastic so the company should decrease the price to increase revenu

A stock produced returns of 14 percent, 17percent, and -1 percent over three of the past four years, respectively. The arithmeti
mariarad [96]

Answer:

11.23%

Explanation:

Arithmetic return = Total return/Total time period  

6% = (14% + 17% - 1% + x%) / 4

(6%*4) =30% + x

24% = 30% + x

x = (24% - 30%)

x = -6%

<em>For the standard deviation, we need to use </em><u><em>stdev.s function</em></u><em> in Ms Excel</em>

Standard deviation = stdev.s (14%,17%,-1%,-6%)

Standard deviation = 0.112249722

Standard deviation = 11.23%

So, the standard deviation of the stock's returns for the four-year period is 11.23%.
