Price rises from $10 to $11, and the quantity demanded falls from 100 units to 95 units. What is the price elasticity of demand

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

0.54

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 = 100 - 95 = 5

average of both demands = (100 + 95) / 2 = 97.5

Midpoint change in quantity demanded = 5 / 97.5 = 0.051282

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

change in price = $11 - $10 = 1

average of both price = ($11 + $10) / 2 = 10.5

midpoint change in price = 1 / 10.5 = 0.095238

Price elasticity of demand = 0.051282 / 0.095238 = 0.54

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

It should continue the production in the short-run.

Explanation:

Given the unit produced by Mars Inc. = 100000 boxes.

The selling price of boxes = $4 per box.

The variable costs = $3 per box.

The fixed costs = $150000

The total sales revenue = number of boxes × selling price

= 100000 × 4

= $ 400000

In the short run, the firm should continue its production because it still covers the variable costs.
