Answer:

0.079

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand using midpoint formula can be calculated as follows

Formula

Elasticity of demand = (change in quantity/average quantity)/(change in price/average price)

Calculation

Elasticity of demand = (600/10,900)/(-2.1/3.05)

Elasticity of demand =-0.055 / -0.688

Elasticity of demand =-0.079

working

Change in price (2-4.1) = -2.1  

Average price (2+4.1)/2=3.05

Change in quantity (11,200-10600) = 600

average quantity (11,200+10,600)/2 = 10,900

 

The elasticity of demand is inelastic as the elasticity is below 1.

Andru [333]

Answer:

A) Price       7,080     U

B) Quantity 4,630.5  U

C) Total        11.710,5‬ U

Explanation:

DIRECT MATERIALS VARIANCES

(standard\:cost-actual\:cost) \times actual \: quantity= DM \: price \: variance

std cost  $3.45

actual cost  $3.65

quantity 35,400

difference  $(0.20)

(0.2) \times 35,400 = DM \: price \: variance

price variance  $(7,080.00)

(standard\:quantity-actual\:quantity) \times standard \: cost = DM \: quantity \: variance

std quantity 36110.00

actual quantity 35400.00

std cost  $3.45

difference 710.00

(710) \times 3.45 = DM \: quantity \: variance

quantity variance  $2,449.50

Total Variance: 2,449.5 - 7,080 = -4.630,5‬
