Answer:
The government policy should have reduced beer consumption by 0.6 or 60%
Explanation:
Mid point formula calculates the ratio of mid point of change in demand and change in price to their average value. Then these changes are used in the calculations of elasticity of demand.
According to given data:
Elasticity of demand = 0.9
Midpoint of price = (20-10) / [(20+10)/2] = 10 / 15 = 0.6667
Elasticity of Demand = Midpoint of demand / Midpoint of price
0.9 = Midpoint of demand / 0.6667
Midpoint of price = 0.9 x 0.6667 = 0.6
Change in demand is should reduce the consumption by 0.6 or 60%.
A business excludes money paid as salaries or wages to employees from operating surplus.

Answer:
Products Selling price Unit variable cost
$ $
Junior 50 15
Adult 75 25
Expert <u>110 </u> <u> 60</u>
Total <u> 235 </u> <u> 100</u>
The sales price per composite unit = $235
The contribution margin per composite unit
= Composite selling price - Composite unit variable cost
= $235 - $100
= $135
Break-even point in units
= <u>Fixed cost</u>
Contribution per unit
= <u>$114,750</u>
$135
= 850 units
Break-even point in dollars
= Break-even point in units x Composite selling price
= 850 units x $235
= $199,750

Explanation:
Sales price per composite unit is the aggregate of all the selling prices.
Contribution margin per composite unit equals composite selling price minus composite unit variable cost.
Break-even point in units is fixed cost divided per composite contribution margin per unit.
Break-even point in dollars equal break-even point in units multiplied by selling price.
Income statement is prepared by deducting the total fixed cost from the total contribution.
