Answer:

How is the price elasticity of demand​ measured?

c. by dividing the percentage change in the quantity demanded of a product by the percentage change in the product's price

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand (PED or Ed) is a measure used in economics to show the responsiveness, or elasticity, of the quantity demanded of a good or service to a change in its price when nothing but the price changes. More precisely, it gives the percentage change in quantity demanded in response to a one percent change in price.

Answer:

C. by dividing the percentage change in the quantity demanded of a product by the percentage change in the​ product's price

Explanation:

Elasticity is a microeconomic concept that aims to measure the sensitivity of demand in the face of price changes. To calculate the price elasticity of demand, a formula is used that divides the observed change in quantity (▲Q) by the change in price (▲P). Elasticity = ▲ Q / ▲ P. If the result is greater than 1, in module, we say that demand is elastic (price sensitive). If the result is less than 1, in module, we say that demand is inelastic (not sensitive to price changes).

You need some money today and the only friend you have that has any is your miserly friend. He agrees to loan you the money you
Serggg [28]

Answer:

The correct option is (b)

Explanation:

Given:

Monthly payment for 6 months = $30 per month

Time period = 6 month (6 periods)

Monthly interest rate = 2%

In order to compute borrowed amount, present value of these payments need to be computed which is an annuity as same amount of $30 is paid.

Checking PVIFA table for 2%, 6 periods, annuity factor is 5.6014.

Borrowed amount = Monthly payment × PVIFA(2%,6)

                            = 30 × 5.6014

                            = $168.042

Borrowed amount is $168.042 or $168.22 approximately (difference in value due to annuity factor being rounded off)

Determine the beginning cash balance for Sweet Treats Eats if the net cash provided by operating activities is $35,000, net cash
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

$50,000

Explanation:

Given the following information for Sweet Treats Eats

net cash provided by operating activities = $35,000

net cash used by investing activities = $42,000

net cash provided by financing activities = $12,000

ending cash balance = $55,000

Beginning cash balance + $35,000 - $42,000 + $12,000 = $55,000

Beginning cash balance = $55,000 - $35,000 + $42,000 - $12,000

                                         = $50,000

(Credit)  Gain on Purchase Bargain                          $80,000

<em />

Explanation:

When acquiring another business, net asset (Total Assets - Total Liabilities) is valued at fair value (sometimes called market value, not book value.  Hence, the reason why the fair value of Lark`s assets and liabilities was used in the calculation above. So the net assets  ($57,000+$165,000+$307,000+$203,000 - $20,000) = $712,000.

After, calculating the net assets of the Lark, the purchase consideration given by Bower Company has to be removed from the net asset, in order to get the goodwill or gain on purchase bargain on the acquisition. The formula is Purchase consideration - Net assets of the target company = Goodwill (Gain on purchase bargain). If the purchase consideration is higher than the net assets, then goodwill is obtained. If the purchase consideration is lower than net assets acquired then, gain on purchase bargain is obtained.

In Bower`s case, gain on purchase bargain is obtained because net assets is  greater than purchase consideration ($632,000 - $712,000).

<em>Merger cost</em>

Merger cost is not considered as part of purchase consideration. The merger cost is taken to income statement of Bower Corporation as expense.

An investor places $5,000 in an account. The stated annual interest rate is 6% compounded monthly. The value of the account at t
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

$5,983.40

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Principle amount = $5,000

Interest rate, r = 6% = 0.06

Time, t = 3 years

Compounded monthly i.e number of periods n = 12

Now,

Final amount = Principle × \left( 1 + \frac{r}{n} \right)^{\Large{n\times t}}

or

Final amount = $5,000 × \left( 1 + \frac{0.06}{12} \right)^{\Large{12\times3}}

or

Final amount = $5,000 × 1.005³⁶

or

Final amount = $5,000 × 1.196

or

Final amount = $5,983.40
