Answer:

The correct answer is Decrease by $5,500.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the computation of the given data are as follows:

First we calculate the previous operating income, by using following formula:

Previous operating income = ($8.5 - $5.25) × 10,000 units - $22,000

= $10,500

Now, we will calculate the current operating income by using following formula:

New operating income = ($7.5 - $5.25) 12,000  units - $22,000

= $5,000

So, the change in operating income can be calculated as

Change in operating income = New operating income - Previous operating income

= $5,000 - $10,500

= -$5,500 ( Negative shows Decrease)

= Decrease by $5,500.

Suppose that a local supermarket sells apples and oranges for 50 cents apiece, and at these prices is able to sell 100 apples an
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

e. price elasticities of demand for apples and oranges are the same over these price ranges

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price.

Price elasticity = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price

Percentage change in price = (50-40) / 50 = 0.2 × 100 = 20%

Percentage change in quantity demanded of Apples = (120 - 100) / 100 = 0.2 × 100 =

20%

Percentage change in quantity demanded of oranges = (240 - 200) / 200 = 0.2 × 100 = 20%

Price elasticity of demand for oranges = 20% / 20% = 1

Price elasticity of demand for Apples = 20% / 20% = 1

When coefficient of elasticity is equal than one, elasticity of demand is unit elastic.

This implies that the elasticity of demand for Apples and oranges are the same. A change in the price of oranges and apples would lead to the same proportional change for each of the demand for Apples and oranges.
