Answer:

should it hold the price constant and meet all the excess demand with an increase in production

Explanation:

to determine if the firm should increase their price or not, we have to determine the elasticity of demand.

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

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

If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.

Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded.  the absolute value of elasticity would be less than one

elasticity of demand = 15% / 10% = 1.5

Demand is elastic. if price is increased, the quantity demanded would fall more than the change in price and total revenue would fall.

slavikrds [6]

Labour Productivity is basically the worth of goods produced by each labour or collectively in an hour, This can be expressed in the formula below:

Labour Productivity per hour of work=\frac{Worth of Goods Produced}{Total Number of Labour Hours}

In order to find worth of goods we shall use below Formula:

Worth of Goods= Sale Price per Unit*Number of Units Sold

In given case there are 2 types of goods sold as below

1. Proper Garments

Worth of Goods Sold= $210*78 Garments

Worth of Goods Sold=$16380

2. Seconds

Worth of Goods Sold= $100*54

Worth of Goods Sold= $5400

Total Goods Sold= $5400+$16380

Total Worth of Goods=$21780

Total Hours Worked= No of Workers*Hours Worked each Worker

Total Hours Worked= 8*45

Total Hours Worked=360 Hours

Labour Productivity=\\ \frac{21780}{360}

Labour Productivity=$60.5 per Hour
