Answer:
- Paul Donut Franchisee : Perfectly Elastic Supply
- P & G Facial Tissues : Elastic Supply
- Papermate Pens : Inelastic Supply
- Bright Ideas Lightbulbs : Perfectly Inelastic Supply
Explanation:
Price Elasticity of Supply is sellers' quantity supplied response to price change. P(Es) = % change in supply / % change in price.
Supply can be classified by Price Elasticity of Supply, as undermentioned :
- Elastic Supply : P(Es) > 1 ; % change in supply > % change in price
- Inelastic Supply : P(Es) < 1 ; % change in supply < % change in price
- Unitary Elastic : P (Es) = 1 ; % change in supply = % change in price
- Perfectly Elastic Supply : P(Es) = ∞ ; Supply responds infinitely to any slight price change & so prices are constant.
- Perfectly Elastic Supply : P (Es) = 0 ; Supply responds negligibly to massive price change & so quantity supplied is constant
- Paul Donut Franchise : Unlimited Supply at constant price, so supply perfectly elastic
- P & G facial tissues : % change in supply i.e 66% > % change in price i.e 10% , so supply is elastic
- Papermate pens : % change in supply i.e 10 % < % change in price i.e 15% , so supply is inelastic
- Bright Ideas Lightbulbs : % change in supply 15% negligible in relation to 400% price change , so supply is perfectly inelastic
Answer:
Mrs Smith either shut down the business or invest in efficient equipements that lowers the total cost to below $7
Explanation:
The reason is that the you can not make profit if you product is sold in the market at a higher price than the competitor who offers the same product with the same features. So here, Smith can not make profits by selling the product at $8 because here total cost is $8.25 per unit.
So either she should invest in the business equipments which bring efficiencies and keeps the total costs to below $7 or she should shut down her business because the business is turned into loss making machine.
