Answer:

Highly inelastic

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand is a measure of the demand of a given service or commodity by utilizing it's price change. It can be calculated using the formula;

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

%change in quantity demanded=((Final demand-Initial demand)/Initial demand)×100

((299-300)/300)×100=-0.33%

%change in price=12%

12%>0.33%

The change in price is larger than the change in demand, therefor the product is highly inelastic

suter [353]

Answer:

Contribution margin ratio = 1 - variable cost ratio

                                          = 25%

(a) Break\ even\ in\ dollars=\frac{fixed\ costs}{contribution\ margin}

Break\ even\ in\ dollars=\frac{350,000}{0.25}

                                            = 1,400,000

 Break\ even\ in\ units=\frac{Break\ even\ in\ dollars}{sales\ price}

 Break\ even\ in\ units=\frac{1,400,000}{56}

                                           = 25,000

(b) For profit of $42,000,

sales=\frac{Profit+fixed\ cost}{contribution\ margin\ ratio}

sales=\frac{42,000+350,000}{0.25}

               = 1,568,000

In\ units=\frac{sales}{sales\ price}

In\ units=\frac{1,568,000}{56}

                    = 28,000

(c) variable cost = sales price × variable cost ratio

                           = $56 × 75%

                           = $42

New contribution margin = \frac{New\ sales\ price-variable\ cost}{New\ sales\ price}

New contribution margin = \frac{70-42}{70}

                                          = 0.4

                                          = 40%

New\ Break\ even\ in\ dollars=\frac{fixed\ costs}{contribution\ margin}

New\ Break\ even\ in\ dollars=\frac{350,000}{0.4}

                                                        = $875,000

New\ Break\ even\ in\ units=\frac{New\ Break\ even\ in\ dollars}{New\ sales\ price}

New\ Break\ even\ in\ units=\frac{875,000}{70}

                                                    = 12,500

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Advantage in competition. ( competitive advantage)

Explanation: Whenever a hospital is more equipped or fully equipped with tools, machines, and any other factor that favors the saving of lives, that hospital will mostly have the upper hand in competition against it's rivals. It is safe to say a heart patient who is facing a life threatening situation would rather be taken to such a hospital for quick response to save their lives. A hospital less equipped with these kind of machines , especially those needed in critical moments like defibrillating someone who is experiencing cardiac arrest, will less likely be a first choice to treating patients of these nature. In critical moments like these a hospital better equipped will always be the first choice, disregarding other factors like cost. Now distance could be critical, but again, almost always if the distance is not too long then the better equipped gets the patients.
