Answer: Elasticity of demand is 7.06

Explanation:

P1= $2,750

P2=$2,880

Q1=446,000

Q2=321,000

Elasticity = \frac{Q2 - Q1}{\frac{Q1 + Q2}{2} } * \frac{\frac{P1 + P2}{2} }{P2 - P1}

Elasticity = \frac{321,000 - 446,000}{\frac{446,000 + 321,000}{2} } * \frac{\frac{2750 + 2880}{2} }{2880 - 2750}

Elasticity = \frac{-125,000}{383,500} * \frac{2815}{130}

Elasticity = - 0.3259*21.6598

Elasticity = -0.76

Thus, elasticity of demand for laptops is 7.06. This means that laptops are highly price elastic as it is greater than 1.

The manager of a 150-unit apartment complex knows from experience that all units will be occupied if the rent is $1000 per month
Roman55 [17]

The rent that the manager should charge to maximize revenue will be $2,000.

In business, a rent is known as the cost incurred by a business to utilize a property or location for an office, retail space, factory, or storage space.

Initially, to find revenue by coming up we can calculate with an equation below:

Revenue = Price × Revenue

Where, price = 1000 + 20x

Quantity = 150 - x

R(x) = (1000+20x) (150-x)

R(x) = 150000 - 1000x + 3000x - 20x²

R(x) = - 20x² + 2000x + 150000

To maximize the revenue, we calculate the derivative and set it to zero:

R(x) = - 20x² + 2000x + 150000

R(x) = -40x + 2000

-40x + 2000 = 0

40x = 2000

x = 50

After we find the amount of X, thus we determine the rent that the manager should  charge to maximize revenue

Price=$1000+20x

Price=$1000+20(50)

Price=$1,000 + 1,000

Price = $2,000

The net income is the income that is generated when we deduct all expenses incurred from all revenues generated that is reflected on the income statement  

In mathematically,  

Net income = Revenues earned - expenses incurred
