Answer:

1

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand is the degree to which a change in price causes a change in quantity demanded, which can be calculated by dividing the percentage change in quantity demanded by percentage change in price.

Therefore, PED for Jim's product = % change in quantity demanded / % change in price

% change in QD = (8000 · 6000) / 8000 × 100 = 25%

% change in price = (200 · 250) / 200 × 100 = 25%

PED = 25% / 25% = 1

PED for Jim's product = 1.

Answer:

The demand for Jim’s product is elastic

Explanation:

In this question, we are to calculate the price elasticity of demand for the product.

We proceed as follows;

The formula for calculating elasticity of demand is

e = [(Q2 - Q1) / {(Q1 + Q2) / 2}] / [(P2 - P1) / {(P1 + P2) / 2}]

Here, Q2 = 6000

Q1 = 8000

P2 = $250

P1 = $200

e = [(6000 - 8000) / {(8000 + 6000) / 2}] / [($250 - $200) / {($200 + $250) / 2}]

e = [(- 2000) / 7000] / [(50 / 225]

e = - 1.3

That means absolute value of e is 1.3.

So, as the absolute value of e is more than 1 (i.e., 1.3), that means the demand for the product is elastic.

Consider an 8.5% loan amortizing at a 25-year rate with monthly payments. What is the maximum amount that can be loaned on a pro
Leto [7]

Answer:

<u>Maximum Amount that can be loanded = $4139619</u>

Explanation:

DSCR = NOI / Debt Service

Debt Service = Principal + Interest

NOI = $ 500000

Debt Service = 500000 / 125 % = $ 400,000

The loan would be ammortized monthly over a period of 25 years.

Monthly Payment or EMI

E = P×r×(1 + r)n/ ((1 + r)n - 1)

12E = 400,000 = [P×r×(1 + r)n/ ((1 + r)n - 1)] * 12

or, P = 400000 / 0.0966272500154557 = $4139619

<u>Maximum Amount that can be loanded = $4139619</u>

Natalija [7]

Answer:

A. shut down as fixed costs are not being covered.

Explanation:

Break-even point is a level at which the company has no profit no loss situation. Sales Excess from Break-even makes profit and short makes loss.

Sale Price = $3 per box

Variable Cost = $2 per box

Contribution margin = $3 - $1 = $1 per box

Fixed Cost = $125,000

Break-even point = $125,000 / $1 = 125,000 boxes

Sales  = 100,000 units

Short from Break-even = 125,000 - 100,000 = 25,000 boxes

Loss = $25,000 x $1 = $25,000

CCC should shut down because even fixed cost is not being covered it is short by $25,000. So this product is making loss.
