TRANSPORTABLITY: One of four characteristics that enables an asset to better function as money. The other three are durability, divisibility, and non-counterfeitability. This characteristic means that the item used as money can be easily moved from one location to another, which is extremely useful because markets tend to be scattered all over the place. It really helps if buyers can transport their money to the points of purchase. An item could not be effectively used as a medium of exchange if it were not easily transportable.

Lesson 11: Elasticity Basics | Unit 3: Measurement Page: 14 of 25

Topic: Doing The Numbers: Midpoint <=PAGE BACK | PAGE NEXT=>

  • Our task is to calculate the price elasticity of demand using the midpoint formula.

    midpoint
    elasticity
    =(Q2 - Q1)
    (Q2 + Q1)/2
    ÷(P2 - P1)
    (P2 + P1)/2

  • The values for this formula are P1 = $2.49, Q1 = 5,447 tacos, P2 = $1.99, Q2 = 6,608 tacos.
    midpoint
    elasticity
    =0.19 ÷ - 0.22=- 0.86

  • This value - 0.86 indicates that the a one percent decline in the price of Tacos results in a 0.86 percent increase in quantity demanded.

MANAGERIAL BEHAVIOR

A preference for maintaining the status quo over changing it based on relatively greater satisfaction generated by redundant information over novel information. Managerial behavior is well suited for keeping an existing business and complex organizations running smoothly and efficiently. This behavior is inclined to manage, to administer, and to apply existing rules and procedures. An alternative is entrepreneurial behavior, which is a preference for changing the status quo over maintaining it.
