Answer

Price elasticiy of demand for business travelers: -0.16

Price elasticity of demand for vacationers: -0.29

Explanation:

To find the price elasticy of demand (PED) using the midpoint method, we use the following formula:

$PED = \frac{(Q2-Q1)/[(Q2+Q1)/2]}{(P2-P1)/[(P2+P1/2]}$

Where Q2 and P2 are the new quantity demanded and new price respectively, and Q1 and P1 are the old quantity demanded and price.

Plugging the amounts into the formula we obtain the results of the answer.

Because both results are in absolute value less than one (0.16 and 0.29), we can say that the PED of tickets, for both vacationers and Business traveleres, is relatively inelastic. (Demand falls less in proportion to the change in price).

Tomtit [17]

<span>Imagine an economy in which:
(1) pieces of paper called yollars are the only thing that buyers give to sellers when they buy goods and services, so it would be common to use, say, 50 yollars to buy a pair of shoes;
(2) prices are posted in terms of yardsticks, so you might walk into a grocery store and see that, today, an apple is worth 2 yardsticks; and
(3) yardsticks disintegrate overnight, so no yardstick has any value for more than 24 hours.

In this economy, the yardstick is a unit of account but it cannot serve as a store of value.</span>

Eunice buys a worm farm. She plans to sell a small carton of worms to people who want to fish for $3. Her fixed costs are $1,201

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

C. 534 units

Explanation:

The formula to compute the break-even point is shown below:

= (Fixed cost) ÷ (Contribution margin per unit)

where,

Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable expense per unit

= $3 - $0.75

= $2.25

So, the break-even point would be

= $1,201 ÷ $2.25 per unit

= 534 units

Simply we divide the fixed cost by the contribution margin per unit so that the accurate units can come.
