a. Using the starting point formula, what is the price elasticity of demand for going from a price of $160 per unit to a price o
ki77a [65]

Answer:

Price Elasticity of Demand is -4

Explanation:

We can see the graph and easily calculate the Q1 which is 120 units at P1 $140 and Q2 which is 80 units at P2 $160 price.

The starting point formula for calculating price elasticity of demand is given as under:

Price Elasticity of Demand = (ΔQ / Q2)  /  (ΔP / P2)

Here

ΔQ = Q1 - Q2 = 120 - 80 = 40 units

ΔP = P1  -  P2 = 140 - 160 =   - $20

By putting value in the above equation, we have:

Price Elasticity of Demand = (40 Units / 80 Units)  /  (-$20 / $160)

Price Elasticity of Demand = -4

Greeley [361]

Answer:

Break-even sales in dollar value = $10,667

Explanation:

Since the company's operating income is $0, the company makes no profit and no loss. Therefore, the company's total sales is equal to total expenses. It means the company is in break-even point. However, as the variable expense is not given, we have to use contribution margin ratio to calculate the break-even sales.

We know,

Break-even sales in dollar value = Fixed expenses ÷ Contribution margin ratio

Given,

Contribution margin ratio = 45%

Fixed expenses = $4,800

Putting the values into the above formula, we can get,

Break-even sales in dollar value = $4,800 ÷ 45%

Break-even sales in dollar value = $10,667
