Answer:

Contain Yourself!, a plastic container company, raises the price of its signature "lunchbox" container from $3.00 to $4.00. As a result, the quantity sold drops from 20,000 to 15,000.

UNIT ELASTIC ⇒ when the price elasticity of demand is unit elastic, a change in price will result in a proportionally equal change in the quantity demanded.

PED = % change in quantity / % change in price = {(15 - 20) / [(15 + 20)/2]} / {($4 - $3) / [($4 + $3)/2]} = -0.2857 / 0.2857 = -1 or |1| in absolute terms

Economists working for the United States have determined that the elasticity of demand for gasoline is 0.5.

INELASTIC DEMAND ⇒ when the price elasticity of demand is inelastic, a change in price will result in a proportionally lower change in the quantity demanded.

CapCityMetro decides to increase bus fare rates from $2.00 to $2.21. Consequently, the number of passengers who decide to take the bus in Austin drops from an average of 70,000 riders a day to an average of 61,000 riders a day.

ELASTIC DEMAND ⇒ when the demand for a good is elastic, a change in price will result in a proportionally higher change in quantity demanded.

PED = % change in quantity / % change in price = {(61,000 - 70,000) / [(61,000 + 70,000)/2]} / {($2.21 - $2) / [($2.21 + $2)/2]} = -0.1374 / 0.1 = -1.374 or |1.374| in absolute terms

You own a portfolio that is 34 percent invested in Stock X, 22 percent invested in Stock Y, and 44 percent invested in Stock Z.
Sonja [21]

Answer:

13.86%

Explanation:

34% was invested into stock X with an expected return of 11%

22% was invested into stock Y with an expected return of 18%

44% was invested into stock Z with an expected return of 14%

The expected return on the portfolio can be calculated using the formula below

Expected return= Sum of ( weight of stock×return of stock)

= (0.34×11%)+(0.22×18%)+(0.44×14%)

= 3.74+3.96+6.16

= 13.86%

Hence the expected return on the portfolio is 13.86%

A chemical company spent $ 530 comma 000 to produce 150 comma 000 gallons of a chemical that can be sold for $ 5.00 per gallon.
solmaris [256]

Answer:

If the company decides to process it further, it will increase operating income $68,000

Explanation:

Selling the chemical on processing,

the Sales will be = Gallons of chemical produce × Selling price per gallon

                            = 150,000 × $5

                            = $750,000

Cost of Processing the chemical = $530,000

Operating Income on selling the chemical:

= Sales -  Cost of Processing the chemical

= $750,000 - $530,000

= $220,000

Total cost incurred to process the chemical into a weed killer:

=  Cost of Processing the chemical +

= $532000 + $260,000

= $792,000

Sales of 150,000 gallons of weed killer:

= Selling price per gallon × Chemical produce

= $7.20 × 150,000 gallons

= $1,080,000

Operating income on processing to weed killer:

= Sales of 150,000 gallons of weed killer - Total cost incurred to process the chemical into a weed killer

= $1,080,000  - $792,000

= $288,000

So, If the company decides to process it further, it will increase operating income by:

= Operating income on processing to weed killer - Operating Income on selling the chemical

= $288,000 - $220,000

= $68,000
