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.

         patent                                  31,680‬ credit

Explanation:

The patent and franchise will be activate as there is a certain possibility to produce positive cashflow in the future.

They will be adjusted at year-end for amortization:

301,350 / 6 = 50,225 amortization on patent

633,600 / 10 = 63,360 amortization on franchise

As it was concede on July 1st then, we will do half-year

63,360 / 2 = 31,680‬

The development cost will be treated as expense as there is no precise information that can determined the development cost which yield a positive outcome.
