Answer:
(A) -5/6
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand = % change in quantity demanded ÷ % change in price
% change in quantity demanded = (60-40)/40 × 100 = 20/40 × 100 = 50%
% change in price = ($6-$15)/$15 × 100 = -$9/$15 × 100 = -60%
Price elasticity of demand = 50% ÷ -60% = -5/6
Answer:
break even point in units:
- a = 11,700
- b = 46,800
- c = 35,100
Explanation:
beer mugs contribution margin expected sales
a $5 25,000
b $4 100,000
c $3 50,000
fixed costs = $351,000
if the sales proportion remains the same, we can assume a bundle of products = 1a + 4b + 3c (1 for every 25,000 units) whose contribution margin = $5 + $16 + $9 = $30
break even point = fixed costs / bundle's contribution margin = $351,000 / $30 = 11,700 bundles
break even point in units:
a = 11,700
b = 11,700 x 4 = 46,800
c = 11,700 x 3 = 35,100
True. <span>The actual inventory holding cost incurred by an item depends on how long it actually spends in inventory. Holding costs are costs that happen when the inventory stays put and does not sell. The costs are calculated into the inventory costs along side of ordering and shortage costs. Holding costs can include the goods being damaged or spoiling due to the length of being held. Since they can be held for 5 days or 100 days (example) the total cost that is held depends on the length the items were held for. </span>
<span>$1500 was invested at 11%
$2500 was invested at 8%
Assuming simple interest for each investment, we have the following expressions
0.11x = interest on 11% investment. (x = amount invested at 11%)
0.08(4000-x) = interest on 8% investment
Adding the 2 expressions together and setting the sum to 365 gives
0.11x + 0.08(4000-x) = 365
Now solve for x by first distributing the 0.08
0.11x + 320 - 0.08x = 365
Subtract 320 from both sides and combine x's
0.03x = 45
Divide both sides by 0.03
x = 1500
So $1500 was invested at 11% and (4000-1500) = 2500 was invested at 8%</span>
