When does the elasticity of supply of commodity called equal to unity?

Business
1 answer:
Gemiola [76]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:

When a percentage change in price leads to the same percentage change in the quantity supplied. This means that supply is unit elastic

Explanation:

Price elasticity of supply measures the responsiveness of quantity supplied to changes in price of the good.

Price elasticity of supply = percentage change in quantity supplied / percentage change in price

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

For example, a 20% increase in price leads to 20% increase in the quantity supplied

Elasticity of supply = 20% / 20% = 1

lidiya [134]

Answer:

$600,000

Explanation:

Sales = $ 1,000,000

Net purchases of raw materials = 600,000

Cost of goods manufactured = 800,000

Marketing and administrative expenses = 250,000

Indirect manufacturing costs = 500,000

                          Beginning inventory    Ending inventory

Work in process  = $500,000                  $400,000

Finished goods =   $100,000                   $500,000

Cost of goods sold:

= Beginning finished goods inventory + Cost of goods manufactured - Ending finished goods inventory

= $100,000 + $800,000 - $500,000

= $400,000

Gross profit = Sales - Cost of goods sold

                    = $ 1,000,000 - $400,000

                    = $600,000

Which of the following statements is true? (i) When a competitive firm sells an additional unit of output, its revenue increases
Sophie [7]

Answer:

(ii) When a monopoly firm sells an additional unit of output, its revenue increase by an amount less than the price

Explanation:

The monopoly is the only producer of a product, the corresponding price for its output is taken from the demand curve of the market.

And the demand curve is downward sloping, meaning to sell an additional unit, it has to lower price on all units sold.

That loss from lower price is the reason its revenue increase by an amount less than the price of the additional unit.
