For the following demand equation compute the elasticity of demand and determine whether the demand is elastic, unitary, or inel
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

Note: While answering this question, there is a confusion as to whether the correct demand equation is p= 157 − x2 as it appears in the question, or p= 157 − x^2 which is suspected to be the correct equation. Whichever the case may be, answers are provided for the two equations. Just confirm from the original question or your teacher which one is correct and pick the relevant answer out of the two following answers:

1. If p= 157 − x2 is the correct equation:

Elasticity of demand = - 0.15

Since -0.15 in absolute term |-0.15| is less than 1, the demand is inelastic.

2. If p= 157 − x^2 is the correct equation:

Elasticity of demand = - 0.28

Since -0.28 in absolute term |-0.28| is less than 1, the demand is also inelastic.

Explanation:

Elasticity of demand is the degree of responsive of quantity demanded of a good to change in its price.

For this question, elasticity of demand can be computed using the formula for calculating the elasticity of demand as follows:

1. If p= 157 − x2 is the correct equation

E = Elasticity of demand = (p / x) * (dx / dp) ............................... (1)

From the question, we have:

p = 157 − x2.

Therefore, we solve for as follows:

x2 = 157 - p

x = (157 - P) / 2

x = 78.5 - 0.5p ....................................................... (2)

Differentiating equation (2) with respect to p, we have:

dx/dp = -0.5

Substituting values for dx/dp and x into equation (1), we have:

E = [p / (78.5 - 0.5p)] * (-0.5)

Since p = 20, we have:

E = [20 / (78.5 - (0.5 * 20))] * (-0.5)

E = [20 / (78.5 - 10)] * (-0.5)

E = − 0.15

Since -0.15 in absolute term |-0.15| is less than 1, the demand is inelastic.

2. If p = 157 − x^2 is the correct equation

E = (p / x) * (dx / dp) ............................................ (1)

From the question, we have:

p = 157 − x^2.

Therefore, we solve for as follows:

x = 157^(1/2) – p^(1/2)

x = 157^0.5 – p^0.5 ........................................... (2)

Differentiating equation (2) with respect to p, we have:

dx/dp = -0.5p^(-0.5) = -0.5/p^0.5

Substituting values for dx/dp and x into equation (1), we have:

E = (p / x) * (dx / dp)

E = [p /  (157^0.5 – p^0.5)] * [ -0.5/p^0.5]

Since p = 20, we have:

E = [20 /  (157^0.5 – 20^0.5)] * [–0.5/20^0.5]

E = - 0.28

Since -0.28 in absolute term |-0.28| is less than 1, the demand is inelastic.

Simpson Company applies overhead on the basis of 200% of direct labor cost. Job No. 305 is charged with $180,000 of direct mater
sasho [114]

Answer:

$480,000

Explanation:

The computation of the total manufacturing costs for Job No. 305 is shown below:

= Direct material cost + direct labor cost + manufacturing overhead cost

where,

Direct material cost = $180,000

Direct labor cost is

= $200,000 ÷ 200% × 100%

= $100,000

And, the manufacturing overhead cost is $200,000

So, the total manufacturing overhead is

= $180,000 + $100,000 + $200,000

= $480,000
