Answer: Cell phone companies found that when they raised the price of connecting to wireless hot spots, demand decreased more than proportionally among casual users but decreased less than proportionally among businesspeople. this is because wireless connectivity is a <u>luxury or non-essential</u> good for casual users but an <u>essential</u> good for business people.
Casual users tend to use the wireless if and only when they can afford it i.e. it is not an essential commodity for them. That is why, the demand decreased more than proportionally among casual users, when prices increased.
On the other hand, wireless hotspots help business people to get their work done in a speedy and efficient manner. So wireless hotspots become more essential to business people. Therefore the demand is relatively inelastic for connectivity and falls less than proportionally for business people.

This leads to an efficient supply management because this leads to better control over the flow of material and production planning, especially when the aim is to use minimal resourses.
b. Employee involvement - in lean manufacturing, less human effort is required. However high quality goods at the right quanity still needs to be produced.Therefore it is important for the little employees needed, to work cohesively to produce these goods effectively and efficiently.
c. Product orientated production layout - Also known as assembly line, this is when employees perfom minimal functions at a time, to produce large quantities of a few types of products that are different.
So for lean manufacturing to be implemented and operate effectively, it requires all these options.
Answer:
12.88%
Explanation:
Angela's disposable income $2,368
monthly expenses including recreational expenses ($2,127)
net cash flow $241
after expenses are reduced by $64, her net cash flow will increase to $305
Angela's monthly savings rate = (net cash flow / disposable income) x 100 = $305 / $2,368 = 12.88%
A person's savings rate is how much money they save (do not spend) compared to their total disposable income.
