Answer:

PED = 0.67 inelastic demand

you should not lower the price of the book

Explanation:

the midpoint formula for calculating price elasticity of demand = {(Q2 - Q1) / [(Q2 + Q1) / 2]} /  {(P2 - P1) / [(P2 + P1) / 2]}

PED = {(50 - 40) / [(50 + 40) / 2]} /  {(25 - 35) / [(25 + 35) / 2]} = [10 / (90 / 2)] /  [-10 / (60 / 2)] = (10 / 45) / (-10 / 30) = 0.222 / -0.333 = 0.67

the PED = 0.67 which means that the demand is inelastic

if you lower the price of the book, the increase in number of books sold will be proportionally lower than decrease in price, so you will lose money by doing that.

dlinn [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is D: $1900

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales revenue$ 4,000

Purchases of direct materials$ 400

Direct labor$ 450

Manufacturing overhead $ 620

Operating expenses$ 650

Beginning raw materials inventory$ 200

Ending raw materials inventory$ 180

Beginning work in process inventory$ 320

Ending work in process inventory$ 410

Beginning finished goods inventory$ 250

Ending finished goods inventory$ 200

First, we need to calculate the cost of goods manufactured:

cost of goods manufactured= beginning work in process + direct materials + direct labor + manufacturing overhead - ending work in process

Direct materials= beginning inventory + purchase - ending inventory= 200 + 400 - 180= 420

cost of goods manufactured= 320 + 420 + 450 + 620 - 410= $1400

Now, we can calculate the cost of goods sold:

COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished goods

COGS= 250 + 1400 - 200= 1450

Operating income= sales  - COGS - operating expenses

Operating income= 4000 - 1450 - 650= $1900

Bad debts expense = $12,000 - $2,400 = $9,600

You are considering in investing one of the two options: Investment A requires a $255,000 upfront payment from you and generates
Ainat [17]

Answer:

Option (E) Never

Explanation:

NPV from Investment Project 1 = ($255,000) + $21,000 / (r)

NPV from Investment Project 2 = ($175,000) + $29,000 / (r)

The question says that find the number of years that equals the total return which means the NPV from both investments is equal:

($255,000) + $21,000 / (r) = ($175,000) + $29,000 / (r)

$21,000 / (r) - $29,000 / (r) = $255,000 - $175,000

-$8000 / r = $80,000

r = - 8000 / 80000 = -0.01 = - 10%

The negative sign shows that project A can not make a positive NPV that will be equal to that of project B and vice versa. It can also be illustrated by putting the value of r in "NPV from Investment Project 1"

NPV from Investment Project 1 = ($255,000) + 21000 / -0.01

= ($255,000) - $210,000 = ($465,000)

This shows that the company will have to make losses of $465,000 which is not possible because company will not select projects with negative NPVs.
