Answer:

(A) -5/6

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand = % change in quantity demanded ÷ % change in price

% change in quantity demanded = (60-40)/40 × 100 = 20/40 × 100 = 50%

% change in price = ($6-$15)/$15 × 100 = -$9/$15 × 100 = -60%

Price elasticity of demand = 50% ÷ -60% = -5/6

otez555 [7]

Answer:

The length of time = 12 years

Explanation:

<em>The number of years the case would be determines the length time it takes the present value of  annuity of 17,000 to equate the initial cost </em>

Initial cost = A× (1- (1+r)^(-n)/r =

A- 17,000, r- 13%, n - ?

So we will need to work out the value of " n"

100,000 = 17,000 × 1- 1.13^(-n)/0.133

100,000/17,000 =1- 1.13^(-n)/0.13

5.88235 ×0.13 = 1- 1.13^(-n)

n = 12

The number of years is approximately 12 years

The length of time = 12 years

inn [45]

Answer:

$3,750,000

Explanation:

The total amount of expense = current salaries +accrued salaries

The total amount of expense = $3,600,000+ $150,000

The total amount of expense= $3,750,000

The salaries are those expenses that are paid from the current financial resources. If the salaries are not being paid in the current year due to any reason it will be an accrued expense to the company and has to be paid in next year.

Katen [24]

Answer: 10.81%

Explanation:

The annual percentage rate is the percentage cost of credit on yearly basis.

APR will be calculated

= [(2 x n x I) /( P x ( N + 1)]

where,

n = number of months = 12

I = Finance cost = Interest + service charge = $70 + $12 = $82

P = Borrowed amount = $1,400

N= Loan period = 12

We'll then slot the values into the annual percentage rate (APR) formula and this will be:

= ( 2 x n x I) /( P x ( N + 1))

= ( 2 x 12 x 82) /( 1400 x ( 12 + 1))

= 0.1081

=10.81 %
