Answer:

The correct option is C.

Explanation: Price elasticity is the measure of the rate of change in the level of quantity demanded due to a change in the level of price.

Price elasticity is usually negative, this means that it follows the law of demand; as price increases quantity demanded decreases.

Also, another incidence that can affect price elasticity is an availability of cheaper alternatives. If cheaper alternatives of a particular product are introduced into the market, the demand for that product will reduce, because consumers will abandon it for its cheaper alternatives, thereby driving the elasticity of that product higher.

Therefore, in the scenario given above, the elasticity is higher than -1.2 because there are new brands that have just been introduced into the market.

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

The number of units sold in 2016 is 12,058 units

Explanation:

The number of units sold in the year 2016 is simply the total revenue in 2016 divided by selling price per unit.

Total revenue =net income+total variable cost+total fixed cost

net income for 2016 is $152,800

assuming X units were sold

total variable cost =$92*X

fIxed cost =$570,700

total revenue=$152*X

152X=152800+92X+570700

152X-92X=152800+570700

       60X         =723500

              X      =723500 /60

               X=12058.33

Alternatively, the number of units sold is total contribution divided by contribution per unit
