Answer:
The markup calculated as a result of information about the elasticity of demand
Explanation:
As a monopoly seller of pharmaceutical products the price set as markup would be above our marginal cost.
There are three facts about markup:
1. The Markup is not to be a price below marginal cost of the pharmaceutical product.
2. Markup is smaller when demand is more elastic. Remember if the price elasticity of demand is lower than 1, (negative) a rise in price causes an
increase in revenue for the seller.
Therefore having a -4 elasticity of demand could imply more profits for the firm.
Answer:
Explanation:
Pretax cost of debt is the annual rate(YTM) of the bond. Using a financial calculator, input the following to calculate it;
N = 5*2 = 10
PV = -(95% *10,000,000) = -9,500,000
Coupon PMT = (6%/2)*10,000,000 = 300,000
FV = 10,000,000
then compute semiannual rate; CPT I/Y = 3.604%
convert to annual rate = 3.604*2 = 7.21%(this is the pretax cost of debt)
After tax cost of debt is calculated because interest payable on debt has tax shield. The formula is as follows;
Aftertax cost of debt = pretax cost of debt (1-tax)
AT cost of debt = 7.21% (1-0.40)
AT cost of debt = 4.33%
Answer: Check attachment
Explanation:
In the attachment, note that:
On July 14:
Account payable was calculated as:
= $4400 - $300
= $4100
Merchandise Inventory = $4100 × 2%
= $4100 × 2/100
= $4100 × 0.02
= $82
Cash = $4100 - $82 = $4018.
