Successful financial management is the proper use of your money to maximize your income, whether in the financial market or a productive investment such as a trade or factory. Efficient financial management also consists of emergency planning and protection against unexpected situations that could put your assets at risk. Like for example a fire. It is in this sense that insurance is important. Insurance is a contract you make with an insurer to protect your assets if that event occur. For example, if you take out fire insurance, if a fire occurs in your home or business, the insurer will reward what you have lost financially, according to the terms of the contract.

Answer:

RELATIVELY INELASTIC

more elastic

less

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.

Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price

If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.

Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one

Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded

If demand is relatively inelastic and price increases, there would be little or no change in the quantity demanded and as a result, total revenue would increase

If demand were elastic and prices were increased, quantity demanded would fall more than the increase in price. As a result, total revenue would fall

In the long run, people have more time to search for suitable alternatives. Thus, demand tends to be more elastic in the long run

If the long run, price is increased, the total quantity demanded would fall and revenue would fall

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Kim Inc.

The net advantage (disadvantage) of replacing the old equipment with the new equipment is:

= $7,500.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Old Equipment New Equipment

Purchase price $262,500 $450,000

Accumulated depreciation 95,000 0

Annual operating costs 300,000 245,000

Total operating costs for 10 years 3,000,000 2,450,000

Salvage 92,500 0

Total incremental cost $2,907,500 $2,900,000

b) The net advantage obtained by Kim for replacing the old equipment with the new equipment is $7,500 ($2,907,500 - $2,900,000). Note that the purchase price of the old equipment with its accumulated depreciation are not relevant costs. This case is worked out without taking into account the time value of money. Assuming that the present value of the cash flows was computed, a different result and conclusion would be reached.
