Answer:

Midpoint value of price elasticity of demand = -2.07

Explanation:

We know,

Midpoint value of price elasticity = $\frac{(Q_{2} - Q_{1})/[(Q_{2} + Q_{1})/2] }{(P_{2} - P_{1})/[(P_{2} + P_{1})/2] }$

Given,

Original Price, $P_{1}$ = $15

New Price, $P_{2}$ = $12

Original Quantity demanded, $Q_{1}$ = 1,000 units

New Quantity demanded, $Q_{2}$ = 1,600 units

Putting the value in the above midpoint formula, we can get

Midpoint value of price elasticity = $\frac{(1,600 - 1,000)/[(1,600 + 1,000)/2]}{(12-15)/[(12+15)/2]}$

Midpoint value of price elasticity = $\frac{600/1,300}{-3/13.5}$

Midpoint value of price elasticity = $\frac{0.46}{-0.22}$

Midpoint value of price elasticity of demand = -2.07

Andrej [43]

Answer: $297,353.33

Explanation:

In calculating the Opportunity Cost of using that space with the available data, the following formula can be used (notice that APR is a yearly figure and the rent is monthly),

Opportunity cost = Rent per month *12* (1-tax rate) / APR

= $3,431.00 * 12 * ( 1 - 0.35) / 0.09

= 297353.333333

= $297,353.33

$297,353.33 is the opportunity cost of using this space.

Note the method used above is the faster method but if you want to use the other method, first you change the rent to a monthly figure. Then you divide it by the cost of capital to get the present value. Then you multiply by the After tax rate of (1 - tax rate). It's basically the same as the above though.

A number between 1 and 15

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

The probability is 0.20 or 20%

Explanation:

we know that

The probability of an event is the ratio of the size of the event space to the size of the sample space.

The size of the sample space is the total number of possible outcomes

The event space is the number of outcomes in the event you are interested in.
