Harding Enterprises has developed a new product called the Gillooly Shillelagh. The market demand for this product is given as follows: Q= 240 - 4P

a. At what price is the price elasticity of demand equal to zero?
b. At what price is demand infinitely elastic?
c. At what price is the price elasticity of demand equal to one?
d. If the shillelagh is priced at $40, what is the point price elasticity of demand?

0

$60

$30

-2

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.

If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.  

Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one

Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded

Infinitely elastic demand is perfectly elastic demand. Demand falls to zero when price increases

Perfectly inelastic demand is demand where there is no change in the quantity demanded regardless of changes in price.

the intercept of price on the inverse demand curve = 240 / 4 = $60

The intercept of quantity on the inverse demand curve = 240

Demand  is  infinitely  elastic  at  the  intercept  on the price axis = 0

 Demand is completely inelastic at the intercept on the quantity axis = 60 Demand is unit elastic at the half-way point between these two extremes (60 + 0) / 2  = 30

Point elastic demanded = (40/80) (-4) = -2

answer; ///i believe the correct two answer are (1) paid in capital; and (2) earned   capital; good luck

a manufacturer of printed circuit boards uses exponential smoothing with trend to forecast monthly demand of its product. at the end of december, the company wishes to forecast sales for january. the estimate of trend through november has been 200 additional boards sold per month. average sales have been around 1000 units per month. the demand for december was 1100 units. the company uses α = 0.20 and β = 0.10. make a forecast including trend for the month of january.
