Inelastic

Explanation:

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

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

Midpoint change in quantity demanded = change in quantity demanded / average of both demands

change in quantity demanded = 14 million - 15 million = -1 million

average of both demands = (14 million + 15 million ) / 2 = 14.50 million

Midpoint change in quantity demanded = -1 million / 14.50 million = -0.069

midpoint change in price = change in price / average of both price

change in price = $2.15 - $1.35 = $0.80

average of both prices = ( $2.15 + $1.35 ) / 2 = $1.75

midpoint change in price = $0.80 / $1.75 = 0.457

-0.069 / 0.457 = 0.15 demand is inelastic

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

Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.

Infinitely elastic demand is perfectly elastic demand. Demand falls to zero when price increases

Perfectly inelastic demand is demand where there is no change in the quantity demanded regardless of changes in price.

A labor-intensive process has a fixed cost of $338,000 and a variable cost of $143 per unit. A capital-intensive (automated) pro

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

the 17,941 units should be produced and sold

Explanation:

The computation of the number of units that should be generated and sold is shown below:

Let us assume the number of units be n

Now as we know that

Total labor cost = variable cost + fixed cost

So the equations are

For labor intensive = $33,8000 + 143 n

And

For capital intensive = $1,244,000 + $92.5n

It could be written as

$1,244,000 + $92.5 n < $338,000 + $143 n

After solving it

n> 906,000÷ 50.5

n>17941

And,

$1,244,000 + $92.5 n < 197 n

After solving it

n>$1,244,000 ÷ 104.5

n>11,904

So the highest is 17,941

Therefore the 17,941 units should be produced and sold
