-A large multinational shipping company, MGC, Inc. has
just decided to spend €10 million on new storage space
in Munich, €45 million on new aircraft, and €5 million on
additional acquisition of kerosene. In addition to these
expenses, the company is producing 5 million parcels at
a price of €5 per parcel. Now suppose that MGC plans to
have a tenth of that production in inventory. Over time,
the company's parcels have met with increasing
demand, but the inventory has only increased by €1
million.
a. What is this firm's total planned investment?
b. How much did the firm actually invest?
c. What is the difference between actual and planned
investment? Should MGC produce more or fewer
parcels? Why?
Answer both I will rate
For product X, the price elasticity of demand has an
absolute value of 3.5. This means that quantity
demanded will increase by
O 1 unit for each $3.50 decrease in price, ceteris paribus.
O 1 percent for each 3.5 percent decrease in price,
ceteris paribus.
O 3.5 units for each $1 decrease in price, ceteris paribus.
O 3.5 percent for each 1 percent decrease in price,
ceteris paribus.
