When a university bookstore prices chemistry textbooks at $200 each, it generally sells 120 books per month. If it lowers the price to $160, sales increase to 160 books per month. Given this information, we know that the price elasticity of demand for chemistry books is about. a. 1.29, and a decrease in price from $200 to $160 results in an increase in total revenue. b. 1.29, and a decrease in price from $200 to $160 results in a decrease in total revenue. c. 0.78, and a decrease in price from $200 to $160 results in an increase in total revenue. d. 0.78, and a decrease in price from $200 to $160 results in a decrease in total revenue.

With the slowdown of business, how can starbucks ensure that the importance of leadership development does not get overlooked?

Suppose life expectancy in years (l) is a function of two inputs, health expenditures (h) and nutrition expenditures (n) in hundreds of dollars per year. the production function is upper l equals ch superscript 0.40 baseline upper n superscript 0.60l=ch0.40n0.60. beginning with c = 1, a health input of $400400 per year (hequals=44) and a nutrition input of $400400 per year (nequals=44), show that the marginal product of health expenditures and the marginal product of nutrition expenditures are both decreasing. the marginal product of health expenditures when h goes from 44 to 55 is nothing, and the marginal product of health when h goes from 66 to 77 is nothing. (round your answers to three decimal places.)
