Answer:

The price elasticity of demand for textbooks is 1.25

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand is given by percentage change in quantity demanded divided by percentage change in price

Percentage change in quantity of textbooks demanded = 5%

Percentage change in the price of a textbook = 4%

Price elasticity of demand for textbooks = 5% ÷ 4% = 1.25

Answer:

Peter is maximizing his profit and is making an economic profit.

Explanation:

Peter's Pencils is a pencil producing firm in a perfectly competitive firm.

It produces 1,000 pencils an hour.

The total cost of producing 1,000 pencils is $500.

The market price of each pencil is $2.

The marginal cost of producing the last unit of a pencil at this point is $2.  

An individual firm in a perfectly competitive market faces a horizontal line demand curve which also represents the average revenue and marginal revenue.

This means that the marginal revenue earned from the 1,000th pencil is $2.  

The marginal revenue is equal to marginal cost, this implies that the firm is maximizing profits.

The average total cost of the firm is  

= \frac{TC}{Q}

= \frac{500}{1,000}

= $0.5

The average total cost is $0.5 which is lower than the price. This means that the firm is earning economic profits.

The computation of the amount charged to income is shown below:

But before that first we have to determine the book value as on Jan 2024 which is

Total patent cost

= $200,000 + $50,000

= $250,000

Amortized cost till year 2024 is

= ($250,000 ÷ 10 years) × 3 years

= $75,000

The three years is counted from 2021 to 2024

Now

Book value on Jan 2024 is

= $250,000 - $75,000

= $175,000

So,

Amount charged to income  is

= $175,000 + $40,000

= $215,000
