Answer:
a. -1.25
b. -1.25
Explanation:
Price elasticity measures how demand varies with price fluctuations.
The formula is:
= % change in Quantity / % change in Price
a. If the price moves from $1.00 to $1.50, the elasticity of demand will be:
% change in Quantity calculated using the midpoint method;

% Change in Price calculated with the midpoint formula

= -0.5/0.4
=-1.25
b. If the price decreases from $1.50 to $1.00, the elasticity of demand is:
% change in Quantity calculated using the midpoint formula;

% Change in Price calculated using the midpoint formula

= 0.5/-0.4
= -1.25
Answer and Explanation:
Here is the breakdown:
1. For the contribution to Mother Nature
This corresponds to sales amounting to $2,750
2. Regarding Tlaloc's value-added
It equates to
= $7,750 - $2,750
= $5,000
3. For Bob’s value added
It corresponds to
= $20,000 - $7,750
= $12,250
This process applies equally to all three.
The right option is e, controlling.
The function of controlling in management involves the systematic attempts by business management to evaluate performance against established plans, standards, or objectives by assessing whether operations align with these goals or if adjustments are necessary.
