Question

12.

Correct Answer:

D.

Working note:

Total variable cost = .57 + 2.0+ 5.55 + .98 = $9.1

13.

Correct Answer:

C

Working note:

Elasticity = ((150000-185000)/(150000+185000)/2)/((25-20)/(25+20)/2)

Elasticity = -.94

14.

Correct Answer:

C

Working note:

Let, unit revenue = x

Then,

X + .4X + .1X = 24.99

X = 24.99/(1+.4+.1)

X = $16.66

15.

Correct Answer:

15114 units

Working note:

Fixed cost = 54260 + 60000 = $114260

Unit revenue = $16.66

Unit variable cost = 9.1

Breakeven volume = 114260/(16.66-9.1) = 15114 units approx.
