Suppose that when the price per ream of recycled printer paper rises from $4 to $4.50, the quantity demanded falls from 800 to 6

00 reams per day. Using the midpoint formula, what is the price elasticity of demand (in absolute value) over this range? Group of answer choices

Answer:

2.43

Explanation:

Considering

P1 = 4

P2 = 4.50

Q1 = 800

Q2 = 600

Remember that

Using the midpoint formula

% change in quantity = [Q2 - Q1/(Q2 + Q1) ÷2] × 100

= 600 - 800/600 +800 ÷ 2 × 100

= -200/700 × 100

= 28.57%

% change in price = [P2 - P1/(P2 + P1) ÷ 2] × 100

= 4.50 - 4/4.50 + 4 ÷ 2 × 100

=.50 / 4.25 × 100

= 11.76%

Price elasticity of demand = %change in quantity ÷ % change in price

= 28.57 ÷ 11.76

= 2.429

= 2.43

Answer: The result is -2.42

Explanation:

P1 = $4 Q1 = 800

P2 = $4.50 Q2 = 600

Applying the midpoint formula, we calculate:

For price:

P2 - P1/(P2 + P1)/2

= 4.5 - 4/(4.5 + 4)/2

= 0.5/4.25

= 0.12

For quantity:

Q2 - Q1/(Q2 + Q1)/2

= 600 - 800/(600 + 800)/2

= -200/700

= -0.29

The price elasticity of demand is calculated as change in quantity/change in price

= -0.29/0.12

= -2.42.

Option A (Both the adjuster and the student are potential customers because they both derive benefits from the product in their own ways). Both were considered potential customers since both intended to purchase the smartphone for personal or work-related purposes. The adjuster views the smartphone as a tool for improving efficiency, while the student sees it as a luxury. In either scenario, their purchases are significant to the smartphone manufacturers because the product serves a purpose for both.

stepan [3596]

Full question:

As a manager at the headquarters of Leland Enterprises, a transportation firm, you answer to the director, Javier.

Javier is recognized in the workplace for his short temper—quick to express anger and slow to offer compliments. He frequently humiliates individuals in public when he perceives their performance as lacking, which is often. Despite this, upper management appreciates his decisiveness and expertise in business analytics, leading to strong results for the company. They take a hands-off approach concerning his management style. Consequently, employee turnover is notably high as team members find they can either adapt to his leadership or depart without effecting change.

Decision Point: Javier's Goals

In a conference room with Javier and Jim, an assistant director who reports to you, you also have three other colleagues present, including your friend Emily, who report to Jim.

At the meeting's conclusion, Javier asserts, "So that's just how we operate here." When an employee inquires about specifics regarding projection goals, Javier dismisses the question stating, "You all know enough—focus on your tasks and allow me to manage the details. This meeting is adjourned. Now, turn to your neighbor and do our secret GIMME handshake." People fidget, rolling their eyes while doing a goofy handshake reminiscent of middle school.

In your view, how does the organizational culture at Leland Enterprises manifest?
