Answer:

Sam: Supply decreased, but demand was perfectly elastic.

Explanation:

Sam is right because the only possible explanation is that the demand is perfectly elastic and the supply decreased. When the price elasticity of demand is perfectly elastic, the demand curve is completely horizontal. Since the price of coffee remained the same, that means that the quantity demanded will decrease only if the supply of coffee decreased.

The next dividend payment by Hoffman, Inc., will be $2.65 per share. The dividends are anticipated to maintain a growth rate of
-Dominant- [34]

Answer: 6.42%

Explanation:

To calculate this, we use the formula for the Dividend Discount Model/ Gordon Growth Formula as follows:

P = D1/(r - g)

Where,

P = current stock price

D1 = Next dividend

r = required return

g = growth rate

We can make r the subject of the equation by,

P = D1/(r - g)

P(r - g) = D1

r - g = D1/P

r = D1/P + g

Calculating therefore we have,

r = 2.65/43.15 + 0.045

= 0.06417728852

= 6.42%

6.42% is the required return.

If you need any clarification do comment.

Giving the following information:

Assembly Department completes 10,200 gadgets and transfers them to Finished Goods Inventory.

The Assembly Department has 2,600 gadgets in the process that are 65% complete for conversion.

<u>To calculate the equivalent units, we need to multiply the % complete for the number of units started:</u>

Units completed= 10,200

Units in ending inventory= 2,600*0.65= 1,690

Total equivalent units= 11,890

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Urgency / Postponement leads to customer inelastic demand of ice melt.

Explanation:

Elasticity of demand is responsive change in demand of good, due to change in price. Formula = % change in demand / % change in price

Factors Affecting Price Elasticity of Demand : Nature of commodity, Income, substitutes availability, time period, urgency / postponement, share in total expenditure,

Inelastic Demand is when demand responds proportionately less to price change. % change in demand < % change in price

Case 'Customer critically needs ice melt to drive to work' : This has inelastic demand i.e demand less respondent to price changes (he will buy that at high price too). Such because of the urgency of this demand & less scope of its postponement.

David Ricardo was a classical economist known for various economic theory. Some of his theories include :

  1. Labour Theory of Value
  2. Ricardian Equivalence
  3. Theory of comparative advantage
  4. Theory of rent

Theory of rents

David Ricardo defined rest as the part of the produce of an agricultural land that is paid to the landowner for the use of the land.  He postulated that  benefits of an increase in prices of grain accrue to land owners in the form of rent

He used this theory to answer a question that arose during the Napoleonic wars (18.05-1815)  when there was a great increase in corn and land prices. The question was : Did the rise in land prices raise the price of corn or did the high price of corn increase the demand for land and led to an increase in the price of land ?
