Answer:  To increase sale by 10%, the seller must lower the price of the good by 12.5%.

Explanation: Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to a change in the price. Since, demand and price for a normal good are negatively related to each other, price elasticity is also negative. It can be calculated using,

e_{d}=\frac{Precentage change in quantity demanded}{Percentage change in price}  -0.8=\frac{10}{Percentage change in price}  Percentage change in price = -\frac{10}{0.8}  Percentage change in price = -12.5

Therefore, to increase sale by 10%, the seller must lower the price of the good by 12.5%.

Explanation:

contribution = sales - variable cost

for Product B32L:

contribution = sales - variable cost

                     = 46,000 - 13800

                     = $32,200

for Product K84B:

contribution = sales - variable cost

                     = 27,000 - 14,670

                     = $12,330

total sales of the company = 46,000 + 27,000

                                             = $73,000

total contribution of the company = $32,200 + $12,330

                                                         = $44,530

cotribution margin ratio = contribution/sales

                                        = 44530/73000

                                        = 0.61

break even point  = fixed cost/cotribution margin ratio

                              = 42550/0.61

                              = $69,754

Therefore, The The break-even point for the entire company is closest to $69,754.

Liula [17]

Answer:

50 customers per day

Explanation:

For computing the capacity required customers per day, first, we have to  compute the current demand per day which is shown below:

Current demand = Average number of  pets per day × estimated percentage

= 74 pets × 60%

=  44.4 per day

Now the capacity required per day would be

= (Current demand per day) ÷ (1 -  capacity cushion percentage)

= 44.2 ÷ (1 - 0.12)

= 50.22 per day
