Ben Palman owns an art gallery. He accepts paintings and sculpture on consignment and then receives 20% of the price of each pie

ce as his fee. Space is limited, and there are costs involved, so Ben is careful about accepting artists. When he does accept one, he arranges for an opening show (usually for 3 hours on a weekend night) and sends out invitations to his customer list. At the opening, he serves wine, soft drinks, and appetizers to create a comfortable environment for prospective customers to view the new works and to chat with the artist. On average, each opening costs $500. Ben has given as many as 20 opening shows in a year. The total cost of running the gallery, including rent, furniture and fixtures, utilities, and a part-time assistant, amounts to $80,000 per year.
Required:
1. Assume that the cost driver is number of opening shows. Develop the cost formula for the gallery's costs for a year.
2. Using the cost formula developed above, what is the total cost for Ben in a year with 12 opening shows?

Answer:

1. The cost formula for the gallery's costs for a year would be Total cost=$80,000+$500X

2. The total cost for Ben in a year with 12 opening shows Using the cost formula developed is $86,000

1. According to the given data the cost formula for the gallery's costs for a year would be as follows:

Total cost=Fixed costs+Variable costs for the level of activity

Total cost=$80,000+$500*number of opening shows

Total cost=$80,000+$500X

Total cost=$80,000+$500X

Total cost=$80,000+$500*12

Total cost=$80,000+$6,000

If the quantity supplied by producers is relatively insensitive to price changes, supply is ______. Multiple choice question.
luda_lava [24]

If the quantity supplied by producers is relatively insensitive to price changes, supply is price inelastic.

Inelastic demand is demand for which the change in quantity demanded is small due to changes in price. Demand is elastic if the formula yields an absolute value greater than 1. In other words, quantity changes faster than price. If the value is less than 1, demand is inelastic.

For example, consumers are less price relatively insensitive if the product or service is unique or has few alternatives. Consumers are less price sensitive when total costs are low relative to total revenues. The total effort compared to the total cost of the final product also influences price sensitivity.
