Answer:

25%

Explanation:

Price elasticity of supply measures the responsiveness of quantity supplied to changes in price of the good.

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

0.2 =5% / percentage change in price

percentage change in price = 5/0.2 = 25%

If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means supply is elastic. Elastic supply means that quantity supplied is sensitive to price changes.  

Supply is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity supplied. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one

Supply is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity supplied.

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

The total selling expenses for the quarter will be $25,800

Explanation:

The computation of the total selling expenses for the quarter is shown below:

= Salaries + commission + Advertising

where,

Salaries = Expected salaries × number of months in one quarter

             = $5,000 × $3

             = $15,000

Commission = (January sales +  February Sales + March Sales) × Commission percentage

= ($25,000 + $30,000 + $35,000) × 10%

= $9,000

And, the adverting equal to

= Expected advertising expenses × number of months in one quarter

= $600 × 3 months

= $1,800

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the value would be equal to

= $15,000 + $9,000 + $1,800

= $25,800

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is To encourage Julio and listen to his needs but still direct decisions on the goals .

Explanation:

Decision analysis supports all managerial functions. Nothing a manager does is more important than the use of the best information available to make good decisions.

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer: A. the 99 principle

Explanation:

This strategy, often called "charm pricing," involves using pricing that ends in "9" and "99."

With charm pricing, the left digit is reduced from a round number by one cent. We come across this technique every time we make purchases but don’t pay attention. For example, your brain processes $3.00 and $2.99 as different values: To your brain $2.99 is $2.00, which is cheaper than $3.00.

How is this technique effective? It all boils down to how a brand converts numerical values. In 2005, Thomas and Morwitz conducted research they called "the left-digit effect in price cognition." They explained that, “Nine-ending prices will be perceived to be smaller than a price one cent higher if the left-most digit changes to a lower level (e.g., $3.00 to $2.99), but not if the left-most digit remains unchanged (e.g., $3.60 to $3.59).”

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

$3,997

Explanation:

As we know that

Total profit = Total revenue - total cost

where,

Total revenue =  Output sells for × quantity sold

                        = $20 × 499 units

                        = $9,980

And, the total cost is

= Total cost at 500 units - marginal cost of the 500th unit

= 500 units × $12 - $17

= $6,000 - $17

= $5,983

So, the total profit is

= $9,980 - $5,983

= $3,997
