Answer: False
Explanation:
The price elasticity of supply measures the change in quantity supplied when the price changes.
The basic trend is that when price increases, quantity supplied increases as well. The reverse is true.
Price elasticity of supply = %Change in quantity supplied / % change in price
0.5 = -6% / Change in price
0.5 * Change in price = -6%
Change in price = -6% / 0.5
= -12%
The statement above is therefore false because price should have reduced by 12% for quantity supplied to reduce by 6%
Answer: Option (B) is correct.
Explanation:
Given that,
Coolant (used in the office air-conditioning system) cost = $15,000
Property taxes on factory building = $45,000
Depreciation on trucks = $10,000
Salary paid = $2,000
Period cost = Coolant cost + Depreciation on trucks
= $15,000 + $10,000
= $25,000
