Answer:

A. That's the point where total revenue is maximized

Explanation:

Demand Curve is a downward sloping curve representing inverse  relationship between price & quantity demanded.

Elasticity of Demand is the responsiveness of quantity demanded to price change. It can be measured geometrically on a demand curve point by :

Demand curve segment below the point / Demand curve segment above the point.

This way the elasticity keeps on decreasing as we move downwards on the demand curve [Ed=∞ to Ed >1 to Ed = 1 to Ed < 1 to Ed = 0] i.e [from perfectly elastic to elastic to unitary elastic to inelastic to perfectly inelastic demand].

If Demand is Elastic [Ed >1] : There is negative relationship between price and Total Revenue. This point is on the upper segment of demand curve as per geometric method, P- TR negative relationship implies that TR can be increased by decreasing Price.

If Demand is Inelastic [Ed <1] : There is positive relationship between price &total revenue. This point is on the lower segment of demand curve as per geometric method, P-TR positive relationship implies that TR can be increased by increasing price.

So: The best Total Revenue Maximising point is on the middle of demand curve where demand is unitary elastic [Ed=1] - as any other deviation from this point would create an incentive to change price to generate higher revenue.

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

The correct answer is:  her marginal benefit per dollar for bagels will decrease, and her marginal benefit per dollar for cream  cheese will increase.

Explanation:

Anne has $20 to spend on two goods bagels and cream cheese.

The marginal benefit per dollar for bagels is $6.

The marginal benefit per dollar for cream cheese is $10.

If she decides to buy more bagels and less cream cheese, the marginal benefit per dollar for bagels will decrease and marginal benefit per dollar for cream cheese will increase.

The marginal benefit per dollar for a commodity is the ratio of marginal utility derived from consuming the last unit of the commodity upon price of the commodity.

As more and more quantity of a commodity is consumed the marginal benefit per dollar for it will go on declining. This is because the marginal utility derived from each additional unit will go on declining while price will remain the same. The less the commodity is consumed, the marginal benefit per dollar for it will increase.

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Allocated overhead= $1,430,600

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The company's executives estimated that direct labor would be $3,750,000 (250,000 hours at $15/hour) and that factory overhead would be $1,550,000 for the current period.

The records show that there had been 230,000 hours of direct labor.

Using direct labor hours as a base.

Predetermined overhead rate= total estimated manfacturing overhead for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined overhead rate= 1555000/250000= $6.22 per hour

Allocated overhead= Predetermined overhead rate*actual hours= 6.22* 230000= $1,430,600
