Answer:

A. elastic.

Explanation:

Elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price.

Demand is elastic when a change in price leads to a change in quantity demanded. The coefficient of elasticity for elastic demand is usually greater than one.

Demand is inelastic when a change in price has no effect on quantity demanded.

The absolute value of the coefficient of elasticity for inelastic demand is usually less than 1.

Demand is unitary when a change in price leads to an equal proportional change in quantity demanded.

The absolute value of the coefficient of elasticity for unitary demand is usually equal to one .

I hope my answer helps you.

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

If the company's volume increases to 3,900 units, the total cost per unit will be $69 per unit

Explanation:

Variable cost per unit = variable cost/3,400 = $132,600/3,400 = $39

If the company's volume increases to 3,900 units:

Total Variable cost = Variable cost per unit x 3,900 = $39 x 3,900 = $152,100

Total fixed cost will not change = $117,000

Total cost = Total Variable cost + Total fixed cost = $152,100 + $117,000 = $269,100

The total cost per unit = Total cost/3,900 = $269,100/3,900 = $69 per unit.

Answer:

Explanation:

You are able to deduct expenses that are directly related to the business travel.

Answer:

s = $13,014.22

Explanation:

Sample values: $40,632, $35,554, $42,192, $33,432, $69,479 and $43,589

Sample size = 6

The standard deviation of a sample (s) is given by:

$s=\sqrt{\frac{\sum(x_i-X)^2}{n-1}}$

Where X is the sample mean, n is the sample size, and xi is each value in the sample.

The sample mean is given by:

$X=\frac{\$40,632 +\$35,554+\$42,192 +\$33,432 +\$69,479 +\$43,589}{6} \\X=\$44,146.33$

The standard deviation is:

$s=\sqrt{\frac{\sum(x_i-\$44,146.33)^2}{6-1}}\\s=\$13,014.22$

jeyben [28]

Answer:

A. increased, and Eurozone goods are now more expensive to U.S. customers

Explanation:

The exchange rate represents a link between domestic prices and foreign prices, so Three years ago, Price in the Eurozone was:

P1 (US)= 1.32 USD / EUR * P1 (Eurozone)

Now, after three years of inflation, the new prices are

P2 (US)= 1.18* P1 (US)

P2 (EUROZONE) = 1.12 *P1 (EUROZONE)

So, if we replace in the equation =

P2 (US)/1.18 = 1.32 * P2 ( EUROZONE)/1.12

P2 (US) = (1.32 * 1.18)/1.12 *P2 (EUROZONE)

P2 (US) = 1.39 P2 (EUROZONE)

As we can see, the teorical exchange rate should be 1.39 but we have a REAL exchange rate of 1.4, which is greater, the prices are now more expensive to US customers
