Answer: 3.2

Explanation:

The price elasticity of demand shows the change in quantity demanded of a good in response to a change in its price.

Price elasticity of demand = Change in quantity demand / Change in price

0.4 = Change in quantity demanded / 8

Change in quantity demanded = 0.4 * 8

= 3.2

blagie [28]

Answer:

Mark should include in the letter to avoid litigation charges:

Specific facts about the consultant that can be verified.

Explanation:

False information, sentiment-hurting statements, or personal opinions about the consultant's character should never be found in formal letters that are meant to offer constructive criticisms.  This means that only specific facts that are verifiable should be included.  Formal letters are not avenues for character defamation.  They are called "formal" because they must stick to specific and relevant official purposes.

A new shop wants to sell Muffins, the sell price is 2.5 dollars per unit. The cost for production is 1 dollar per unit. At the f
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

The price went from 2.50 dollar per unit to 1.25

And quantity sold of first hand muffin increase from 500 to 1,600

Explanation:

First day:

We build the equation and solve considering:

a= first hand muffin sold at 2.5 dollar

b = left-over sold at 0.5 dollar

considering the shop made 2,000 muffin and the cost is 1 dollar per muffin:

quantities equation: a + b = 2,000

price equation: 2.5a + 0.5b = 2,000

2.5(2,000 - b) + 0.5b = 2,000

5,000 - 2.5b + 0.5b = 2,000

3,000/2 = b = 1,500

a = 2,000 - b = 2,000  - 1,500 = 500

It sale 500 dollar of muffin at 2.5 and 1,500 at 0.5 getting a total of 2,000 revenue to cover the cost.

Second day:

There is a decrease in price to 1.25 per muffin

This generates a profit of 400 dollar thus:

(sales price less cost) x quantity = profit

(1.25 - 1) x a = 400

a = 400/0.25 = 1,600

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

Break Even Point

In Units = 2,000 units

In value = $80,000

Explanation:

Break even Point = \frac{Fixed\ Cost}{Contribution}

When we use contribution per unit, we get the break even point in units sales.

When we use the contribution margin as a percentage of sales we get break even sales in value.

Contribution per unit = $20

Contribution margin in percentage = $20/$40 = 50%

Therefore, Break even Point in units = \frac{40,000}{20} = 2,000

Break even units = 2,000

Break Even Point in value = \frac{40,000}{0.50} = 80,000

Sales to be made in value at break even = $80,000
