Answer:

5%

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.

Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price

0.5 = percentage change in quantity demanded /10%

percentage change in quantity demanded  = 10% X 0.5 = 5%

If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.  

Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one

Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded

AysviL [449]

Answer:

Customer and Product Margin under Activity-based Costing and Traditional Costing

True Statements:

1. If a customer orders more frequently, but orders the same total number of units over the course of a year, the customer margin under activity based costing will decrease.

2. If a customer orders more frequently, but orders the same total number of units over the course of a year, the product margin under a traditional costing system will be unaffected.

Explanation:

Customer Margin is the difference between the total revenue generated from a customer minus the acquisition and service costs.   In the above instance, the customer margin decreases because of the costs of servicing the customer's frequent orders.  Customer service costs are usually higher with more frequent orders, when activity-based costing is employed because frequent orders increase the activity level and the associated costs.

Product Margin is the profit margin generated per product.   It is the markup on the cost of the product.  It shows the difference in amount between the selling price and the manufacturing cost.  Frequent orders cannot change the product margin under the traditional costing technique unlike it does with the activity-based costing technique.

A company creates 40 units of a product using 30 hours of labor and 15 sheets of paper. Labor costs $10/ hour and paper costs $5
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

0.038 units per $ of factor costs

Explanation:

Labor cost for 40 units  = 30 hours × $10/hour = $300

Cost of paper for 40 units = 15 sheets × $50/sheet = $750

Output = 40 units

Multi factor productivity is expressed as;

Multi factor productivity = Output/Total Factor cost

Multi factor productivity = 40 units/$1050 = 0.038 units per $ of factor cost

Multi factor productivity is a measure that depicts units produced for every $ of factor products used. In the above case 2 factors i.e labor and paper are used.
