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.

aliina [53]

Checkable deposit claims that depositors have against the assets of the bank. Thus, option 'A' is the correct option.

<h3>What are Checkable Deposits?</h3>

Any demand deposit account for which checks or drafts of any sort may be drawn is referred to as having checkable deposits in the technical sense. (The owner of a demand deposit account has the right to immediately, notice fewer withdrawals of funds.) The most liquid accounts available to consumers are checkable deposit accounts.

They also include any sort of negotiable draft, such as a Super NOW account or a negotiable order of withdrawal (NOW). (Withdrawing funds from NOW accounts may be subject to a seven-day written notification requirement, however, this is seldom necessary.)

Target Profit Beard Company sells a product for $15 per unit. The variable cost is 10 per unit, and fixed costs are 1,750,000. D
lakkis [162]

Answer:

a. Break-even point in sales units = 350,000 units

b. Break- even point in sales units to achieve a target profit of $400,000 = 430,000 units

Explanation:

a. Break-even point in sales units = Fixed cost ÷ Contribution margin per unit

= $1,750,000 ÷ $5

= 350,000 units

Working note:- Contribution margin = $15 - $10 = $5

b. Break- even point in sales units to achieve a target profit of $400,000 = fixed cost + Targeted profit ÷ Contribution margin per unit

= $1,750,000 + $400,000 ÷ $5

= $2,150,000 ÷ $5

= 430,000 units
