One of the more important business applications of demand elasticity is the relationship between price and total revenue. For ea

ch of the following three scenarios, specify whether demand is elastic, inelastic, or unitary elastic.(a) Your local movie theater earns a total revenue of $40,000 per month when the price of a movie ticket is $8, and it earns a total revenue of $35,000 when the price of a movie ticket is $10.

Answer:

Part 1.  inelastic.

Part 2. inelastic.

Part 3. inelastic.

Explanation:

When the coefficient of elasticity of demand is less than 1, demand is inelastic, when it is equal to 1, demand is unitary elastic, when it is greater than 1, demand is elastic, and when it is equal to zero demand is perfectly inelastic.

Part 1

Price Elasticity of demand =  (dQ/dP) x P/Q

  Where : dQ = Change in Quantity

               dP = Change in Price

                 P = Initial or Old price

                 Q = Initial of Old Quantity

               dQ = $35,000 - $40,000 = - $5,000

                dP = $10 - $8 = $2

                  P = $8  

                  Q = $40,000  

Price Elasticity of demand = (-$5,000/$2) * $8/ $40,000

                       = 2,500 * 1/5000 = -0.5

Disregard the minus sign,  since elasticity of demand is less than 1, demand is inelastic.

Part 2

Price Elasticity of demand =  (dQ/dP) x P/Q

                dQ = $1,800 - $2,000 = - $200

                dP = $50 - $40  = $10

                  P = $40

                  Q = $2,000  

Price Elasticity of demand = (-$200/$10) * $40/ $2,000

                       = 20 * 0.02 = -0.4

Disregard the minus sign,  since elasticity of demand is less than 1, demand is inelastic.

Part 3

Price Elasticity of demand =  (dQ/dP) x P/Q

                dQ = $120 - $150 = - $30

                dP = $5 - $4  = $1

                  P = $4

                  Q = $150

Price Elasticity of demand = (-$30/$1) * $4/ $150

                       = 30 * 2/75 = - 0.8

Disregard the minus sign  since elasticity of demand is less than 1, demand is inelastic.

Kasten, Inc budgeted 10,000 widgets for production during 2013. Kasten has capacity to produce 12,000 units. Fied factory overhe
Vlada [557]

Answer:

Check the following calculations

Explanation:

1.  Received an order for 1,000 units

Cost per unit = $46

now

Incremental revenue per widget = $43

Incremental cost per widget: =( Direct material + Direct Labor + Vairable manufacturing overhead) =

$7 + ($15 × 2) + $4 = 41

Incremental profit per unit = 43 - 41 = $2

Total incremental profit = $2 × 1,000 = $2,000

Kasten can make an extra $2,000

2.  Cost to buy per widget = $39

Cost to make per widget: = ( Direct material + Direct Labor + Vairable manufacturing overhead) =

$7 + ($15 × 2) + $4 = 41

Incremental savings per widget if purchased =41 - 39 = $2

Total incremental savings if purchased = $2 × 10,000 = $20,000

Thus we can say  Kasten will save $20,000 if it buys instead of makes

PLEASE HELP!
Feliz [49]

Answer:

T = 6 years

Explanation:

Given that,

Principal, P = $750

Interest = $225

Rate of interest = 5%

We need to find in how many years it would take to earn $225 on a $750 investment at 5% simple interest. The formula for simple interest is given by :

I=\dfrac{PRT}{100}\\\\T=\dfrac{100I}{PR}\\\\T=\dfrac{100\times 225}{750\times 5}\\\\T=6\ years

So, the required time is 6 years.
