Answer:

The price elasticity of demand between each of the prices are as follows:

(a) Ed = 6.00

(b) Ed = 2.50

(d) Ed = 0.75

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand (Ed) is given as % change in quantity demanded ÷ % change in price

(a) % change in price = (P2-P1)/P1 × 100 = (25-30)/30 × 100 = -5/30 × 100 = -16.67%

% change in quantity demanded = (Q2-Q1)/Q1 × 100 = (20-10)/10 × 100 = 100%

Ed = 100% ÷ -16.67% = -6.00

Ed = 6.00

(b) % change in price = (20-25)/25 × 100 = -5/25 × 100 = -20

% change in quantity demanded = (30-20)/20 × 100 = 10/20 × 100 = 50%

Ed = 50% ÷ -20% = -2.50

Ed = 2.50

% change in quantity demanded = (40-30)30 × 100 = 10/30 × 100 = 33.33%

Ed = 33.33% ÷ -25% = -1.33

Ed = 1.33

(d) % change in price = (10-15)/15 × 100 = -5/15 × 100 = -33.33%

% change in quantity demanded = (50-40)/40 × 100 = 10/40 × 100 = 25%

Ed = 25% ÷ -33.33% = -0.75

Ed = 0.75

Answer:

a. Price Elasticity of Demand = 6 (elastic)

b. Price Elasticity of Demand = 2.5 (elastic)

C. Price Elasticity of Demand = 1.3 (elastic)

d. Price Elasticity of Demand = 0.75 (inelastic)

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand = % change in quantity demanded divided % change in price.

% change in Qty demanded = [(Q2 minus Q1) all divided by Q1 ] *100%

% change in Price = [(P2 minus P1) all divided by P1 ] *100%

a. % change in Qty demanded = [(20 - 10)/10 x 100%] = 100%

% change in Price = [(25 - 30)/30 x 100%] = -16.67%

Price Elasticity of Demand = 100% / -16.67% = 6

This implies the product is very elastic being very far from 1. And this is obvious considering that only a 16.67% drop in price resulted in a 100% increase in Volume

b. % change in Qty demanded = [(30 - 20)/20 x 100%] = 50%

% change in Price = [(20 - 25)/25 x 100%] = -20%

Price Elasticity of Demand = 50% / -20% = 2.5

This implies the product is very elastic being very far from 1. And this is obvious considering that only a 20% drop in price resulted in a 50% increase in Volume

c. % change in Qty demanded = [(40 - 30)/30 x 100%] = 33.3%

% change in Price = [(15 - 20)/20 x 100%] = -25%

Price Elasticity of Demand = 33.3% / -25% = 1.3

This implies the product is elastic being over 1. And this is obvious considering that only a 25% drop in price resulted in a 33.3% increase in Volume

d. % change in Qty demanded = [(50 - 40)/40 x 100%] = 25%

% change in Price = [(10 - 15)/15 x 100%] = -33.3%

Price Elasticity of Demand = 25% / -33.3% = 0.75

This implies the product is inelastic being less than 1. And this is obvious considering that a 33.3% drop in price resulted in only a 25% increase in Volume

sashaice [31]

Answer:

Quality Timber Pty Ltd

In this scenario, the performance norms are _below-average____ and cohesiveness is _ high____, so productivity is _low___.

Explanation:

It has been established that group norms influence individual behavior and group performance. Performance Norms refer to how a person should work in a given group and what his or her output should be.

Cohesion, according to wikipedia.com, "can be more specifically defined as the tendency for a group to be in unity while working towards a goal or to satisfy the emotional needs of its members." Employees of the packaging department tend to be enjoying so much group cohesiveness. But, they need to break some habits to focus on achieving corporate goals by increasing their productivity.

According to Paul Krugman of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, "Productivity is commonly defined as a ratio between the output volume and the volume of inputs. In other words, it measures how efficiently production inputs, such as labour and capital, are being used in an economy to produce a given level of output." A rough assessment of the packaging department employees' performance shows low productivity, as they are "consistently behind schedule and take long lunch breaks, and frequently chat with co-workers," instead of concentrating on their jobs.
