Jones hired Smith, a general contractor, to build a garage as an addition to Jones' home. Smith hired Adams, a subcontractor, to do the roofing work on this garage. All the work was done satisfactorily, and at the completion of the work, Jones paid Smith the agreed price. However, Smith never paid Adams for her work. Three weeks after Adams finished her work, she filed a mechanics' lien against the property and demands that Jones pays her for her work.
Which of the following is most correct?

a. Jones need not pay Adams because he has already paid in full for the garage.
b. Jones need not pay Adams because Adams' contract was with Smith, not Jones.
c. Jones should pay Adams even though she does not have a valid lien claim because that is the ethical thing to do.
d. Jones should pay Adams because she can enforce her lien claim against the property.

Recently, verizon wireless ran a pricing trial in order to estimate the elasticity of demand for its services. the manager selected three states that were representative of its entire service area and increased prices by 5 percent to customers in those areas. one week later, the number of customers enrolled in verizon's cellular plans declined 4 percent in those states, while enrollments in states where prices were not increased remained flat. the manager used this information to estimate the own-price elasticity of demand and, based on her findings, immediately increased prices in all market areas by 5 percent in an attempt to boost the company's 2016 annual revenues. one year later, the manager was perplexed because verizon's 2016 annual revenues were 10 percent lower than those in 2015"the price increase apparently led to a reduction in the company's revenues. did the manager make an error? yes - the one-week measures show demand is inelastic, so a price increase will decrease revenues. yes - the one-week measures show demand is elastic, so a price increase will reduce revenues. yes - cell phone elasticity is likely much larger in the long-run than the short-run. no - the cell phone market must have changed between 2011 and 2012 for this price increase to lower revenues.
