Suppose we observe that as the price of lettuce increases from $1 to $2 per head, consumers buy only half the number of heads of
alex41 [277]

Answer:

C. A decrease in the quantity demanded

Explanation:

Price Elasiticity

The law of demand and supply would usually hold that an increase in prices will result in a decrease in demand. Furthermore, an increase in demand generates a corresponding increasing in supply as well.

<u>When the demand of a product is sensitive to the changes in price, then we say that price of the product is elastic</u> but if the product demand not strongly influenced  by price then we say that the pricing is inelastic.

In the case of the lettuce, we can say that the price is elastic, because there is a sensitive reaction between an increase in price from $1 to $2 which immediately leads to a halfing of the quantity demanded. The price is elastic such that an increase in price leads to a decrease in quantity demanded.

why do you think business organization need to hire people? write at least three sentence in your answer sheet.pls​
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

So why does a company hire a person?

Explanation:

It isn’t to have more people around. The goal of any company isn’t to rack up its number of employees. In fact, the goal of most companies is generally the exact opposite to that, to have the fewest employees possible it needs to be successful.

Less and less do companies hire because they need a very specific task done. In the days of old, companies would hire someone to do the same task over and over again, like hammering the same nail to connect the same two parts all day long. Most of those jobs now are automated, as employers have found cheaper and often more productive alternatives to humans for that work.

No, to understand why employers hire, instead of just using a piece of software or a robot, one first has to understand the unique value proposition a human has. What is it? Well, really it has everything to do with our brain, and our unique ability to conjure up creative solutions to complex problems.

An employer hires a person because their unique value proposition, i.e. generally their ability to think, fixes a business problem they face and there are no other cheaper or more effective alternatives.

For example, a company hires a marketer because they face a business problem: a lack of customers. The marketer’s job is to increase the amount of customers anyway they can, whether it be through email marketing, social media, publicity stunts, etc. The marketer’s job is to constantly solve a problem – in this case getting more customers – that cannot be solved by a machine.

Because most of the jobs that require minimal thought have become or soon will become automated, the jobs that are left require someone who is creative, can learn quickly and is always willing to adapt to new problems thrown their way. So the question therein lies for the employer: how do you figure out who those people are?

The answer is not to look at a pile of resumes and select the two or three best to bring in for an interview. The answer is to screen all candidates through an interview, perhaps best done using a program like VoiceGlance, and ask them challenging questions that reveal those candidates’ line-of-thinking. With that information, companies can discover the employees they really want – the problem solvers – who will lead them to success.

Peggy Lane​ Corp., a producer of machine​ tools, wants to move to a larger site. Two alternative locations have been​ identified
Alborosie

Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Two alternative locations have been​ identified: Bonham and McKinney. Bonham would have fixed costs of $ 800,000 per year and variable costs of $ 13,000 per standard unit produced. McKinney would have annual fixed costs of $ 920,000 and variable costs of $ 12,000 per standard unit. The finished items sell for $ 29,000 each.

Costs:

Bonham= 800,000 + 13,000*x

McKinney= 920,000 + 12,000*x

1) 800,000 + 13,000*x=920,000 + 12,000*x

1,000x=120,00

x=120 units

2) Because Bonham has a higher variable cost, from the indifference point and below, it generates a higher profit. From 120 units and more it generates less profit than McKinney.

3) Break-even point= fixed costs/ contribution margin

Bonham:

Break-even point= 800,000/(29,000 - 12,000)= 47 units

McKinney:

Break-even point= 920,000/(29,000-13,000)= 58 units

Tresset [83]

Answer:

Market control by a few large firms

Difficult entry

Mutual interdependence

Explanation:

In the case of oligopoly as we know that there are very little large firms and each kind of firm generates the important portion of the total output. So each market have the market control

Also the main reason behind the barrier with regard to new firm entered is the barrier for the few firms. The reasons like patents, large capital needed are some reasons that makes it difficult for entering

In addition to this, they are mutual interdependent. This implies that the one firm action would impact the other firm action and according to this, the price and the level of output would be determined

Hence, the above represent the answer
