Answer: 52,164.15

Explanation:

The price Elasticity of demand for corn refers to how much the quantity demanded of corn changes as a result of a change in price.

When given the elasticity for a group and need to calculate for a single unit, use the formula;

εi = nε - (n -1)eη

Demand elasticity for single unit = (Number of units * entire demand elasticity) - ( number of units - 1) * supply elasticity of each firm

= (347,760 * 0.3) - (347,760 - 1) * 0.15

= 104,328 - 52,163.85

= 52,164.15

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

24,000 units

Explanation:

Given:

Budgeted sales for January = 30,000

Budgeted sales for February = 20,000

Opening inventory in January = 7,500

Desired ending inventory = 20% of sales in February

                                        = 0.2 × 20,000

                                        = 4,000 units

Units required in January = 30,000 + 4,000

                                        = 34,000 units

Units to be produced in January = 34,000 - opening inventory

                                                   = 34,000 - 7,500

                                                   = 26,500 units

Budgeted sales for February = 20,000

Budgeted sales for March = 40,000

Opening inventory in February is closing inventory of January = 4,000

Desired ending inventory = 20% of sales in March

                                        = 0.2 × 40,000

                                        = 8,000 units

Units required in February = 20,000 + 8,000

                                        = 28,000 units

Units to be produced in February = 28,000 - opening inventory

                                                         = 28,000 - 4,000

                                                         = 24,000 units
