Answer:

0.54

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.

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

Midpoint change in quantity demanded = change in quantity demanded / average of both demands

change in quantity demanded  = 100 - 95 = 5

average of both demands = (100 + 95) / 2 = 97.5

Midpoint change in quantity demanded = 5 / 97.5 = 0.051282

midpoint change in price = change in price / average of both price

change in price = $11 - $10 = 1

average of both price = ($11 + $10) / 2 = 10.5

midpoint change in price = 1 / 10.5 = 0.095238

Price elasticity of demand =  0.051282 / 0.095238 = 0.54

shusha [124]

The answer is: averaged over time, Sheridan attends worship services regularly.

When we use principle of aggregation, we would not rely on single measurement to make a representation of a person's behavior. We rely more on multiple sets of measurements.

From the case above, Sheridan not attending the services for two weeks could be explained by things such as personal issues or physical illness. Since she considers herself as religious who attend regularly, it is very likely that averaged over time, Sheridan attends worship services regularly.

Increasing American GDP:

-Toyota, a Japanese company, manufactures cars in San Antonio, Texas.

-Starbucks, a U.S. company, opens stores in New York state.

-Tim Horton's, a Canadian company, opens coffee shops in New England.

Explanation:

Gross domestic product (GDP) is the sum of all final goods and services produced in an economic space for a certain period, usually one year, excluding the intermediate consumption used in production. Until the 1980's, the use of Gross National Product (GNP) was preferred, a measure almost identical to GDP but incorporating goods and services produced by external factors. The variation in this macroeconomic magnitude is often used to measure economic growth.

$63. is the sales price that generates 106,000 dollar of operating income

Explanation:

As the units will not inccur in any additional fixed cost we should check for the contribution margin this units will provide:

50 dollars - 43 dollar of variable cost = 7 dollars

5,300 saws x $7 = 37,100

The sales reveues will increase by that amount.

(5,300 x $43 dollars each in cost + 106,000 contribution )/5,300 = sales price

sales price = 63
