Answer:

PES = 1.59 elastic

Explanation:

Price elasticity of supply = percentage change in quantity supplied / percentage change in price

% change in quantity = (Q2 - Q1) / [(Q2 + Q1) / 2] = (10 - 7) / [(10 + 7) / 2] = 3 / 8.5 = 35.29%

% change in price = (50 - 40) / [(50 + 40) / 2] = 10 / 45 = 22.22%

PES = 35.29% / 22.22% = 1.59 elastic

The correct option is E,14

Explanation:

In using the two-day moving average to forecast for the next day sales, the previous two days sales are taken , summed to up and finally averaged(that is divided by 2)

Next day forecast=sum of previous two days sales figures/number of days

sum of previous two days  forecast=13+15=28

since the number of the days is 2 ,the 8 is divided by 2,28/2=14

Ultimately the next day forecast sales figure is 14 newspapers

Option A is wrong that is just considering of the two previous day, the same thing applies to option B.

A segment should probably be dropped when the segment has important side effects on other segments cannot cover its own costs. The correct option is B.

<h3>What is a segment margin?</h3>

The profit or loss generated by one component of a business is referred to as segment margin.

Segment margin only considers the segment's revenue and expenses.

By analyzing a company's strengths and weaknesses, segment margin can provide an accurate picture of where it is performing well and where it is not.

If a segment cannot cover its own costs, it should be dropped unless it has significant side effects on other segments.

Thus, the correct option is B.

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

Mrs Smith either shut down the business or invest in efficient equipements that lowers the total cost to below $7

Explanation:

The reason is that the you can not make profit if you product is sold in the market at a higher price than the competitor who offers the same product with the same features. So here, Smith can not make profits by selling the product at $8 because here total cost is $8.25 per unit.

So either she should invest in the business equipments which bring efficiencies and keeps the total costs to below $7 or she should shut down her business because the business is turned into loss making machine.
