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

tigry1 [53]

The worth of the shares when the stockholder originally purchased them is $1105.

<h3>What are shares?</h3>

Shares are fractional ownership interests in a corporation. For some businesses, shares are a type of financial instrument that allows for the equitable distribution of any declared residual profits in the form of dividends.

It is assumed that the purchase price of the share is $100. As the stockholder sold her shares for $1,403, making a profit of 27%, it implies that:

  127 = $1,403

∴ 100 = $1,403/127 × 100

        = $1104.72

Therefore, $1104.72 is the original purchase price of the share.
