Answer:

35.29%

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Market price of the used book = $85

Discounted price = $55

Now,

The percentage change in the book price will be calculated as:

=\frac{\textup{Market price - Discounted price}}{\textup{Market price}}\times100

on substituting the respective values, we get

=\frac{85-55}{85}\times100

= 35.29%

Hence,

the percentage change in the book price is 35.29%

Answer:

No. The payback period is 3.8 years

Explanation:

The payback period measures how long it takes for the amount invested in a project to be recovered from the cumulative cash flows.

The amount invested = $4,200 + $1,500 = $5,700

Please check the attached image for an explanation on how the payback period was calculated.

Pay back period = 3 years + 1400/1750 = 3.8 years.

3.8 years is greater than the required 3 years Payback period. Therefore, Jack shouldn't accept the project.

I hope my answer helps you

In​ economics, the short run is the time frame in which​ ______ and the long run is the period of time in which​ ______. A. the
Marina86 [1]

Answer:the quantities of some factors of production are​ fixed; the quantities of all factors of production can be varied - D

Explanation:

In the short run, some factors of production are fixed, which is usually the capital. Therefore for a company to increase output, it would need employ more workers, but would not increase capital.

Therefore in the short run, we can get diminishing marginal returns, which may cause marginal costs to start increasing quickly.

Also, in the short run, prices and wages fall out of equilibrium because a sudden rise in demand may lead to higher prices, and companies may not have the the capacity to respond and increase supply.

Long run

In the long run, usually greater than 6 months, all main factors of production are variable. The company has time to build a bigger one making it respond to changes in demand which means that a sudden rise in demand, would have a complimentary increase in supply to meet the demands and prices can be adjusted.

An important point that he didn't address and that is crucial in these cases: it is to explain why the firm is the best option for the customer in terms of what the firm can do to fulfill the customer's needs and help them achieve their goals. This is because different competitors offer the same services and what would set your company apart is how it can better address the customer's needs.
