Answer: Inelastic

Explanation:

Based on the information given, we would calculate the elasticity of demand which would be:

= (Change in Quantity / Change in Price) (Initial Price/ Initial Quantity)

Change in Quantity = 1800 - 2000 = -200

Change in Price = 50 - 40 = 10

Initial Price = 40

Initial Quantity = 2000

Elasticity of demand would then be:

= (-200/10)(40/2000)

= (-20)(0.02)

= -0.4

Since elasticity of demand is less than 1, it is an inelastic demand.

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

B) 0.7; inelastic

Explanation:

The computation of the absolute value of the price elasticity of demand is shown below:

Elasticity is

= [(Sales - prior sales) ÷ ( Sales + prior sales) ÷ 2] ÷ [(price - dropped price) ÷ (price - dropped price) ÷ 2

= [(1,040,000 - 890,000) ÷ (1,040,000 + 890,000) ÷ 2] ÷ [(25,000 - 20,000) ÷ (25,000 + 20,000) ÷ 2]

= (150,000 ÷ 965,000) ÷ (5,000 ÷ 22,500)

= 0.15 ÷ 0.22

= 0.7

It is less than one so the demand is inelastic

Breezy Company is disposing of equipment that was originally purchased for $550,000 and has $145,000 of accumulated depreciation
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

$405,000

Explanation:

The calculation of total amount is shown below:-

If the company disposes of the equipment to buy the new equipment, the sunk cost will be the old equipment's book value.

Sunk cost = Book value of the old Equipment

Sunk cost = Cost of equipment - Accumulated Depreciation

= $550,000 - $145,000

= $405,000

Therefore for computing the sunk cost we simply deduct the accumulated Depreciation from cost of equipment
