Answer:

Annual Savings will be ;

Ordering Cost = $2,993.88

Holding Cost = $661.78

Explanation:

First Calculate the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ)

EOQ = √ 2 × Annual Demand × Ordering Cost per Order / Holding Cost per unit

        = √ ((2 × 783× 12 × $31) / ($11 × 32%))

        = 407

Note : Currently the firm orders at 783 crates per month

Savings in Ordering Cost will be :

Savings = Ordering Cost at Current Quantity - Ordering Cost at EOQ

             = (Total Demand / Current Quantity × Ordering Costs) - (Total Demand / Current Quantity × Ordering Costs)

             = (9396/783 × $31) - (9396/407 × $31)

             = $2,993.88

Savings in Holding Cost will be :

Savings = (Current Quantity - Economic Order Quantity) / 2 × Holding Cost per unit

             = (783 - 407) / 2 × ($11 × 32%)

             = $661.78

Price rises from $10 to $11, and the quantity demanded falls from 100 units to 95 units. What is the price elasticity of demand
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

0.54

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.

Price elasticity of demand = midpoint change in quantity demanded / midpoint change in price  

Midpoint change in quantity demanded = change in quantity demanded / average of both demands

change in quantity demanded  = 100 - 95 = 5

average of both demands = (100 + 95) / 2 = 97.5

Midpoint change in quantity demanded = 5 / 97.5 = 0.051282

midpoint change in price = change in price / average of both price

change in price = $11 - $10 = 1

average of both price = ($11 + $10) / 2 = 10.5

midpoint change in price = 1 / 10.5 = 0.095238

Price elasticity of demand =  0.051282 / 0.095238 = 0.54
