Answer:

The answer to the following question is: (-9.34)

Explanation:

Given that:

p = -0.07 x^2 - 0.7x  + 6

The price elasticity of demand = ( change in quality / change in price)

     =   (dp / dx)  (x/p)

     =   d / dx   (-0.07 x^2 - 0.7x  + 6)   x / p

     =   (-0.14x - 0.7)  x/ (-0.07 x^2 - 0.7x  + 6)

elasticity = (-0.14x^2 - 0.7x) / (-0.07 x^2 - 0.7x  + 6)

at x=5;

elasticity = (-0.14(5)^2 - 0.7(5)) / (-0.07 (5)^2 - 0.7(5)  + 6)

              = (-3.5 - 3.5) / (-1.75 - 3.5 + 6)

              =  -7/ 0.75 = -9.333

              = -9.34

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

$50.57 ; $175,573.6

Explanation:

The computation of the fixed and variable portions of overhead costs based on machine-hours using high low method is shown below:

Variable cost per hour = (High Overhead cost - low overhead cost) ÷ (High machine hours - low service hours)

= ($581,145 - $503,775) ÷ (8,020 hours - 6,490 hours)

= $77,370 ÷ 1,530 hours

= $50.57

Now the fixed cost equal to

= High overhead cost - (High machine hours × Variable cost per hour)

= $581,145 - (8,020 hours × $50.57)

= $581,145 - $405,571.4

= $175,573.60
