Downward sloping and relatively steep.

Demand for good is said to be inelastic when there is less change in quantity demanded due to more change in price.

If there is 5% change in price of the good or services , there will be less than 5 % change in quantity demanded.

Perfectly inelastic demand refers to the no change in the quantity demanded due to change in price .

Perfectly inelastic demand curve will be vertical straight line parallel to y axis.

some examples are essential items such as medicines , it is essential for life, so consumer will buy no matter what the price is.

Answer:

The inventory turnover ratio is 3.58 times

Inventory turnover ratio an efficiency ratio that indicates how many times a company sells and replaces its stock of goods during a particular period

Which of the following factors will make the demand for a product relatively elastic? rev: 05_14_2018 Multiple Choice Purchases
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

The good is considered a necessity.

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand is a measure of the sensitivity of demand for a good or service to changes in the price of that product. We say that the price elasticity of demand is elastic when a percentage change in the price of this good has major impacts on demand. On the contrary, we say that the price elasticity of demand is inelastic when variations in the price of goods have little or no influence on demand.

Usually elastic goods are those that can be replaced, so that rising prices cause a drastic drop in demand that will flow to another product. For example, if the price of the burger rises, consumers may stop buying burgers and substitute pizza (assuming these products are substitutes). On the contrary, if the good is needed, it usually tends to be inelastic, that is, the price increase does not considerably decrease the demand, because consumers need this good. For example, medicines.

Several years ago the Haverford Company sold a $1,000 par value bond that now has 25 years to maturity and an 8.00% annual coupo
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

5.4%

Explanation:

Several years ago the Haverford Company sold a $1,000 par value bond that now has 25 years to maturity and an 8.00% annual coupon that is paid quarterly. The bond currently sells for $900.90, and the company’s tax rate is 40%. What is the component cost of debt for use in the WACC calculation

Face value of bond = coupon amount / interest rate

1000 = 80 / 8%

Therefore 900.9 = 80 / revised interest rate

multiply both sides by the 'revised interest rate

revised interest rate x 900.9 = 80

Hence, revised interest rate = 80  / 900.9 = 9%

Secondly if the company’s tax rate is 40%, the component cost of debt for use in the WACC calculation = kd (1 - t)

where:

kd = Cost of debt

t = tax rate

Therefore cost of debt for use in the WACC calculation = 9% (1-0.4) = 5.4%
