Answer:

Price elasticity of supply is 1.5

Explanation:

Given:

Price (P₀) = $3.50

Quantity (Q₀) = 450

New price (P₁) = $4.00

New quantity (Q₁) = 550

Price elasticity of supply = ?

Computation of price elasticity of supply using midpoint method:

Price\ elasticity\ of\ supply =\frac{\frac{Q1-Q0}{\frac{Q1+Q0}{2} } }{\frac{P1-P0}{\frac{P1+P0}{2} } }

Price\ elasticity\ of\ supply =\frac{\frac{550-450}{\frac{550+450}{2} } }{\frac{4-3.5}{\frac{4+3.5}{2} } }

Price\ elasticity\ of\ supply =\frac{\frac{100}{500} }{\frac{0.50}{3.75} }\\\\Price\ elasticity\ of\ supply = 1.5

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

sales is $2,500,000

Explanation:

The target sales for the company to achieve a net income of $450,000 in the current year equals the net income plus variable cost plus the fixed costs.

To understand this better,let us use the net income formula:

net income=sales-variable costs-fixed costs

by changing the subject of the formula,we the formula for sales:

sales=net income+variable costs+fixed costs

variable costs=sales*70%=0.7 sales

sales=$450,000+$300,000+0.7 sales

sales-0.7 sales=$750,000

0.3 sales=$750,000

sales=$750,000/0.3=$2,500,000
