Explanation:
Income Elasticity of Demand(IED)= Percentage change in quantity demanded/ Percentage change in income
-Percentage change in Q:
%Change in quantity demanded= (q2-q1/q1) = (10-8)/8= 0.25
-Percentage change in Income:
%Change in income= (i2-i1/i1) = (4,500-4,000)/4,000= 0.125
IED= 0.25/0.125= 2
This indicates that the Shaffers are very sensitive to changes in income when it comes to eating out. Which means that changes in income will change significantly the number of times they eat out.
2. Restaurant meals are normal goods, in this case, because when income rises, they ate more in restaurants, then the units consumed for this good increase too.
Answer:
Cappuccino machines should be produced in Atlanta and coffee makers in Fort Worth. The Fort Worth facility would need to operate 100 hours per week and the Atlanta facility would need to operate 140 hours per week.
Total costs associated to operating the facilities = ($2,400 x 100) + ($600 x 140) = $324,000
Explanation:
Since there is not constraint regarding the total number of labor hours that each plant can operate, then we must choose the plant that operates at the lower cost. The only restriction is total time = 7 days x 24 hours = 168 hours per week:
production costs Atlanta:
coffee maker = $600 / 160 = $3.75 per unit
cappuccino machine = $600 / 200 = $3 per unit
production costs Fort Worth:
coffee maker = $2,400 / 800 = $3 per unit
cappuccino machine = $2,400 / 200 = $6 per unit
Cappuccino machines should be produced in Atlanta and coffee makers in Fort Worth. The Fort Worth facility would need to operate 100 hours per week and the Atlanta facility would need to operate 140 hours per week.

Answer:
$1.2 per mile
Explanation:
Computation of the variable cost per mile using the high-low method
Using this formula
Variable cost per mile = (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/(Highest activity - Lowest activity)
Let plug in the
Variable cost per mile= (14,721 - 13,503)/(8,510 - 7,495)
Variable cost per mile= 1,218/1,015
Variable cost per mile=$1.2 per mile
Therefore the Variable cost per mile will be $1.2 per mile.
