Answer:

Elasticity = 1,08

Explanation:

Elasticity is a microeconomic concept that aims to measure the sensitivity of demand in the face of income changes. To calculate the  elasticity of income, a formula is used that divides the observed change in quantity (Q) by the change in price of income (P). Elasticity = [▲ Q /Q]/ [▲ P

/P]

At first, Blake consumed 2 generic potatoes and his income was $ 8. After raising the income to $ 15, he decreased the amount of generic potatoes by one.

So, we have:

E = [(2-1)/1] / [(15-8)/15)]

E = 0.5/ 0,46 = 1,08

Plus: When elasticity is greater than 1, we say that the demand for generic potatoes is elastic relative to income, ie, increasing income decreases the amount of generic potatoes and decreasing income increases the demand for generic potatoes. Therefore, Blake's demand for generic potatoes is elastic relative to his income variation.

If the result were less than 1, the demand for potatoes would be considered inelastic (not sensitive to changes in income).

Lerok [7]

Answer:

current share price = $85.96

Explanation:

Find the PV of each dividend

PV= FV / (1+r)^t

r= required return

t= total duration

PV(D1) = 18 / (1.14)= 15.78947

PV(D2) = 14 / (1.14^2) = 10.77255

PV(D3) = 13 / (1.14^3) = 8.774630

PV(D4) = 7.50 / (1.14^4) = 4.44060

PV(D5 onwards) is a two-step process, first PV of growing perpetuity;

PV(D5 onwards) at yr4 =[7.50*(1+0.04) ] / (0.14-0.04) = 78

second, finding PV today ; PV(D5 onwards) at yr 0 = 78 / (1.14^4) = 46.18226

Add the PVs to get the current share price = $85.96

he St. Augustine Corporation originally budgeted for $360,000 of fixed overhead at 100% normal production capacity. Production w
OLga [1]

Answer:

$9000 (unfavorable).

Explanation:

Given: Budgeted fixed overhead= $360000.

          Actual fixed overhead=$ 360000.

          Actual production= 11,700 units.

         The variable overhead rate was $3 per hour.

         The standard hours for production were 5 hours per unit.

The fixed factory overhead volume variance is difference between actual production volume and budgeted production. It help in measuring the effecient use of fixed resources. It is termed as favourable if actual fixed overhead exceed the budgeted amount, however, it is unfavorable if the actual fixed overhead is less than budgeted amount.  

Now, lets calculate the Actual fixed overhead cost.

Actual fixed overhead cost= \textrm{actual fixed overhead}\times \frac{Actual\ production}{Budgeted\ production}

∴ Actual fixed overhead cost= \$ 360000\times \frac{11700}{12000} = \$ 351000.

Actual fixed overhead cost= $351000.

Next calculating the fixed factory overhead volume variance.

The fixed factory overhead volume variance= \textrm{Actual fixed overhead cost}-\textrm{budgeted fixed overhead}

We know, Budgeted fixed overhead= $360000 and Actual fixed overhead cost= $351000

∴ The fixed factory overhead volume variance= \$351000-\$360000= \$ 9000 (unfavorable)

The fixed factory overhead volume variance= $9000 (unfavorable)
