Answer:

The Price elasticity of demand is -0.63

Explanation:

From the question,

Q1=64

Q2=59

P1=3.60

P2=4.10

%Change in Quantity = Q2-Q1 X 100 / [(Q2+Q1) / 2]

=59-64 X 100 / [(59+64) / 2]

=-5 / [123/2] X 100

=-5/61.5 X 100

=-500/61.5

=-8.13%

%Change in Price= P2-P1 X 100 / [(P2+P1) / 2]

=4.10-3.60 X 100 / [(4.10+3.60) / 2]

=0.50/ [7.7/2] X 100

=0.50/3.85 X 100

=50/3.85

=12.987%

Therefore Price elasticity of demand = -8.13/ 12.99

=-0.625

=-0.63

Answer:

Financial advantage $159,000

Explanation:

unit variable cost = 15 + 12 + 8 + (25%×8) = $37

Note the selling variable cost is now 25% of the initial cost before the special order because of the 75% savings

The fixed cost were not considered in the analysis because they are not relevant. They would be incurred either way, whether the order is accepted or not

Financial advantage of the special order

                                                                                                 $

Sales revenue from special order = (6,000× $65) =     390,000

Variable cost ( 6000×  $37 )                                  =       (222,000 )

Cost of special machine                                                 <u>( 9,000)</u>

Financial advantage                                                        <u> 159,000</u>

a manufacturer of games sell each copy for 21.95.the manufacturing cost of each copy is 14.92. monthly fixed cost is 8500. durin
natali 33 [55]

The break-even point is calculated as -

Break-even point (in units) = Fixed cost ÷ Contribution margin per unit

Here,

Selling price = $ 21.95

Variable cost (manufacturing costs) = $ 14.92 (since, costs bifurcation is not given, the manufacturing costs are taken as variable costs)

Contribution per unit = Selling price - Variable cost (manufacturing costs)

Contribution per unit = $ 7.03

Fixed cost (monthly) = $ 8500

Now,

Break-even point (in units) = $ 8,500 ÷ $ 7.03

Break-even point (in units) = 1,209.1 or 1210 games
