Answer:

Explanation:

W1= 30 W2 =50

Q1 = 6 Q2 = 16

Elasticity of supply = (16-6) / (50-30) * (50+30) / (6+16)

= (10/20) * (80/22) =80/44= 1.82

Suppose a new recreational neighborhood park would cost $20,000, including opportunity costs, to construct and maintain. if b

The decision to build the park or not would be based solely on the cost – benefit relationship of this project. Since there is no other factor considered in this problem, you only need to see if the benefit of constructing the park would exceed its cost. In this problem, the cost to construct the park is $20,000 while the marginal benefit would be $24,000 ($8,000 x 3 families that can benefit from this project). Therefore, you can say that the benefit has exceeded its cost. As a conclusion, the neighborhood park should be built because it benefits the families living in that area more than its cost.

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

a. Karen Meyer's personal records

c. American red cross

Explanation:

The $6,000 contribution should be recorded in Karen Meyer's personal records because 1) the donation was made on her personal name 2) a donation of such size is relevant when Karen files her taxes.

The contribution should also be recorded in the American red cross records because the organization needs to clarify to the tax authorities where each sum of money it obtains comes from.

You can buy a car that is advertised for $24,600 on the following terms: (a) pay $24,600 and receive a $4,600 rebate from the ma

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

A. $20,000

B. $17,234.18

C.Option (b)

Explanation:

Obviously, the option with lower Present Value would be the best option to buy the car. The Present Value of the options can find out as following

REQUIREMENT A

Price of car = $24,600

Rebate = $4,600

Present value of the payments for option = Price of the car – rebate

Present value of the payments for option (a) = $24,600 - $4,600

Present value of the payments for option = $20,000

REQUIREMENT B

We can use the following Present Value of an Annuity formula to calculate the present value of the payments

PV of the payments for option = PMT * [1-(1+i) ^-n)]/i

PV of the payments for option (b) (PV) =?

Monthly payment PMT =$410 per month

Number of payments n = 5 years *12 months = 60

Monthly interest rate i=1.25% per month or 0.0125

PV of the payments for option = $410 x [1- (1+0.0125) ^-60]/0.0125

PV of the payments for option = $17,234.18

REQUIREMENT C.

Which is the better deal?

Option (b) is better deal as the present value of payments ($17,234.18) is less than Present value of the payments for option (a); $20,000.

1. The beta for Eastman Kodak is 1.10. The current six-month treasury bill rate is 3.25%. Estimate the cost of equity for Eastma

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

1) Cost of equity is 12.501%

2) Price of bond is $935.82

3) Price of semi-annual bond is $934.96

Explanation:

1) Given:

Beta = 1.1

Risk free rate (Rf) = 3.25%

Market risk premium (Rp) = 8.41%

Using CAPM to compute cost of equity:

Re = Rf + β (Rp)

= 3.25 + 1.1(8.41)

= 12.501%

2) Price of bond is present value of bond.

Face value (FV) = $1,000

Maturity (nper) = 10 years

Coupon rate = 8%

Coupon payment (PMT) = 0.08× 1000 = $80

Discount rate (rate) = 9% or 0.09

Using spreadsheet function =PV(rate,nper,pmt,FV)

Price of bond is $935.82. It is negative as it's cash outflow

3) Price of semi-annual bond is present value of bond.

Face value (FV) = $1,000

Maturity (nper) = 10×2 = 20 periods

Coupon rate = 8% ÷ 2 = 4%

Coupon payment (PMT) = 0.04× 1000 = $40

Discount rate (rate) = 9% ÷ 2 = 4.5% or 0.045

Using spreadsheet function =PV(rate,nper,pmt,FV)

Price of semi-annual bond is $934.96
