Answer:

Consumer surplus increases by $2

Explanation:

The consumer surplus can be defined as the benefit that consumers gain when they pay less for a good that they are willing to pay more for.

a). Determine the final demand as follows;

Price elasticity of demand=% change in price/% change in demand

where;

price elasticity of demand=-1

% change in price={(Final price-initial price)/initial price}×100

Final price=$24

initial price=$25

% change in price=(24-25)/25=(1/25)×100=-4%

% change in demand=x

replacing in the original expression;

-1=-4/x

x=4%

% change in quantity={final quantity-initial quantity/initial quantity}×100

let final quantity=y

4%={(y-100)/100}×100

0.04=(y-100)/100

4=y-100

y=4+100=104

final quantity=104 units

Consumer surplus=(1/2)×change in price×change in quantity

where;

change in price=25-24=1

change in quantity=104-100=4

Consumer surplus=(1/2)×1×4=2

Consumer surplus increases by $2

lozanna [386]

Answer:

The contribution margin will decrease by 2.50

Explanation:

Sales \: Revenue - Variable \: Cost = Contribution \: Margin

IF sales decreases, then the contribution margin decreases.

That's because, there is less money to pay for the variable cost.

The company will also have to sale more units to break even, as now each units contribution is fewer.
