Answer:

Explanation:

If input increase by 15% and output increase by 15% then the equation for productivity will be

Input = 100% + 15% = 115%

Output = 100% + 15% = 115%

$productivety =\frac{Outpu t }{Inpu t}$

$productivety=\frac{1.15}{1.15}$

$productivty = 1$

Percentage change = 1-1

Percentage change = 0%

If both Output and input is increased by the same amount the results will be the same

Suppose that during the past year, the price of a laptop computer rose from $2,750 to $2,880. During the same time period, consu

icang [17]

Answer: Elasticity of demand is 7.06

Explanation:

P1= $2,750

P2=$2,880

Q1=446,000

Q2=321,000

$Elasticity = \frac{Q2 - Q1}{\frac{Q1 + Q2}{2} } * \frac{\frac{P1 + P2}{2} }{P2 - P1}$

$Elasticity = \frac{321,000 - 446,000}{\frac{446,000 + 321,000}{2} } * \frac{\frac{2750 + 2880}{2} }{2880 - 2750}$

$Elasticity = \frac{-125,000}{383,500} * \frac{2815}{130}$

$Elasticity = - 0.3259*21.6598$

Elasticity = -0.76

Thus, elasticity of demand for laptops is 7.06. This means that laptops are highly price elastic as it is greater than 1.

A firm has determined its cost of each source of capital and its optimal capital structure which is comprised of the following s

barxatty [35]

Answer:

10.25%

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Long-term debt = 45%, after-tax cost = 7%

Preferred stock = 15%, after-tax cost = 10%

Common stock equity = 40%, after-tax cost = 14%

Now,

The weighted average cost of capital for this firm will be calculated as:

= Long term debt × after-tax cost + Preferred stock × after-tax cost + Common stock equity × after-tax cost

= 0.45 × 0.07 + 0.15 × 0.10 + 0.40 × 0.14

= 0.0315 + 0.015 + 0.056

= 0.1025

= 0.1025 × 100%

= 10.25%

If the expected sales volume for the current period is 7,000 units, the desired ending inventory is 400 units, and the beginning

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

7,000 units

Explanation:

Calculation for the number of units set forth in the production budget, representing total production for the current period

Using this formula

Number of units =Current period +Ending inventory - Beginning inventory

Where,

Current period =7,000 units

Ending inventory=400 units

Beginning inventory =400 units

Let make plug in the formula above

Number of units =7,000 units + 400 units-400 units

Number of units =7,000 units

Therefore the Number of units will be 7,000 units
