Answer:

C. Fall, 30%, Rise

Explanation:

  • Price Elasticity of Demand is responsive change in demand, due to change in price.

P.Ed = % change in demand / % change in price.

Given : Price rise by 50% , P.Ed = 0.6

So, % change in demand = P.ed x % change in price

% change in demand = 0.6 (50)

% change in demand = 30%

Law of demand states negative relationship between price & demand, so P.ed is negative. Price rise 50% reduces demand by 30%.

  • P.Ed can be : Elastic ( > 1 ), or Inelastic ( < 1 ).  If P.Ed is Elastic, price & total revenue are inversely related. If P.Ed is Inelastic, price & total revenue are directly related.

So, Given PEd = 0.6 (i.e < 1 ) : Inelastic Demand implies price & total revenue are directly related related to each other. So, price fall lead to TR fall & price rise lead to TR rise.

Matthew​ Liotine's Dream Store sells water beds and assorted supplies. His​ best-selling bed has an annual demand of 410 units.
never [62]

<u>Given:</u>

Annual demand = 410 units

Ordering cost = $41

Holding cost = $5 unit per year

<u>To find:</u>

Number of units to be ordered each time an order is placed

<u>Solution:</u>

On calculating the number of units,

\Rightarrow \sqrt{(\frac{2(390)(38)}{5})} \rightarrow\sqrt{\frac{780\times38}{5}}= 76.99

Therefore, to minimize the total cost, approximately 77 units should be ordered each time an order is placed.

Perhaps the most important reason that u.s. companies have moved industrial production abroad is?
nignag [31]

Perhaps the most important reason that u.s. companies have moved industrial production abroad is that the labor of the other nation is paid the low wages than the labor wages in US.

Job outsourcing occurs when U.S. companies hire the foreign workers instead of Americans.

Job outsourcing can help American companies to compete in the economy by keeping prices low, but simultaneously it has a negative effect on

America has lost local jobs to different countries labor such as  China, Mexico, India, and other countries with lower wage standards.

Companies outsource domestically as well , they do not rely on the other countries completely U.S. employment but they have been increasing their reliance on freelancers or  temp workers, as well as the part-timers.

Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge cola consumers a tax. Before the tax, 45 million cases of cola were sold ever
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

Tax on a case of cola is $4 per case.

The burden that falls on consumers is $1 per case.

The burden that falls on producers is $3 per case

False. This is due to the fact that producers already carry a greater share of the tax burden.

Explanation:

Tax on a case of cola = Amount that consumers pay after the tax has been charged - Amount producers receive = $7 - $3 = $4 per case

Burden on consumers = Amount consumers pay after the tax has been levied - Amount consumers pay before tax was levied = $7 - $5 = $1 per case

Burden on producers = Tax on a case of cola - Burden on consumers = $4 - $1 = $3 per case

False. This is due to the fact that producers already carry a greater share of the tax burden.

Aspen's Distributors has a levered cost of equity of 13.84 percent and an unlevered cost of capital of 12.5 percent. The company
Reptile [31]

Answer:

8.60%

Explanation:

We use the MM proposition II with taxes

r_e = r_a + \frac{D}{E} (r_a-r_d)(1-t)

ra 0.125

D 5000

E 9600 (14,600 assets = 5,000 liab + equity)

rd ??

taxes 0.34

re 0.1384

We set p the formula and solve:

0.1384 = 0.125 + \frac{5,000}{9,600} (.125-r_d)(1-.34)

0.1384 = 0.125 + \frac{5,000}{9,600} (.125-r_d)(1-.34)

0.1384 - 0.125 = 0.34375 (.125-r_d)

0.0134 = 0.34375\times 0.125 - 0.34375\times r_d

r_d = (0.34375\times 0.125 - 0.0134)\div 0.34375

rd = 0.860181818 = 8.60%

Brums [2.3K]

Answer: above-average profits

Explanation: In the given case, while making the change in the operations the managements anticipated an increase in profit by 125 max. These types of anticipations are done by the managers on the basis of past records or the current existing trends.

Usually under such situations the management tries to take average of the anticipated figures so that expectations of take holders would not get high too much.

Hence the increase of 19% depicts that the profit increased by more than the average level as anticipated by the managers.
