Answer:

PES = 1.59 elastic

Explanation:

Price elasticity of supply = percentage change in quantity supplied / percentage change in price

% change in quantity = (Q2 - Q1) / [(Q2 + Q1) / 2] = (10 - 7) / [(10 + 7) / 2] = 3 / 8.5 = 35.29%

% change in price = (50 - 40) / [(50 + 40) / 2] = 10 / 45 = 22.22%

PES = 35.29% / 22.22% = 1.59 elastic

The following is a partially completed lower section of a departmental expense allocation spreadsheet for Brickland. It reports
blagie [28]

Answer:

The correct option is b. $8,100

Explanation:

Since the question was asked about the allocation of maintenance department expense to assembly and the maintenance department expense is based on the square footage.

So, the following equation should be used which is shown below:

= Maintenance department expense × assembly square foot space ÷ total sum of square foot space

where,

Maintenance department expense is $18,000

Assembly square footage is 2,700

And, the total sum of square foot space equals to

=  Fabrication square foot space + assembly square foot space

= 3,300 + 2,700

= 6,000

Now, put these values on the above equation.

So, the value would be equals to

= $18,000 × 2,700 ÷ 6,000

= $18,000 × 0.45

= $8,100

The other cost is irrelevant. Thus, it is ignored while computation.

Hence, the amount of Maintenance department expense to be allocated to Assembly is $8,100

Therefore, the correct option is b. $8,100
