KK ltd produces goods for sale. From trend analysis the management accountant established a demand function of the product to be P=40−1.5q, where P is the unit selling price and q is the quantity in thousands. The enterprise has been producing under the cost TC=q2+10q+50, where TC is the total cost in thousands of cedis.Required3. At what quantity does the firm break even?
4. Calculate the price elasticity of demand at the point and explain your answer
