Answer and Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-

1). Price elasticity demand for cigarettes = 0.80

Government want to decrease smoking = 20% = 0.20

Require increase price rate = 0.20 ÷ 0.80 = 0.25 = 25%

Government Should Increase the Price by

= Current Cost of Cigarettes Pack × Require Increase Price Rate + Current Cost of Cigarettes Pack

= $5 × 25% + $5

= $1.25 + $5

= $6.25 a pack

2). If the government constantly increases the price of cigarettes, the impact on smoking will be higher in 1 year from now than in 3 months from now. It takes time to break a Smoking habit. And it takes people a long time to get out or reduce their smoking addiction.

3). According to the study, adolescents have a higher demand price elasticity than adults because adolescents have less income than adults, and they are more sensitive to price. If the price of cigarettes rises teenagers don't have enough funds to invest in their smoking habits because of their low savings and wages. Cigarette addiction in adults is more than youth addictions. And the demand for cigarettes among adults is difficult to reduce.

Calculate the amount of depreciation to report during the year ended December 31, 2013, for equipment that was purchased at a co
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

1) Straightline   $ 2000

2) Double-Declining-Balance  $ 4000

3) Units of Production  $ 2000

Explanation:

Cost of equipment $43,000

Residual value of equipment  $3,000

Useful life of equipment 5 years

Formula:

1) Straight Line Method Depreciation = Cost - Salvage Value/ Useful Life

Straight Line Method Depreciation = $43,000 -$3,000/5=$ 8000

The amount of depreciation using Straight Line Method Depreciation for the year ended December 31, 2013, is

($ 8000/12)*3= $ 2000

The straight Line depreciation expense for 3 months is $ 2000

2) Straight Line Rate= 100%

Useful Life= 100%/5 = 20%

Double Declining Method = 2 * Straight Line Rate

Double Declining Method = 2 * Straight Line Rate= 2*20%= 40%

Year     Book Value      Dep          Dep               Accu.       Book

                                      Rate         Expense      Dep.          Value

1           40,000             40              16000          16000         24000

Depreciation Expense for the whole year would be $ 16000.

Depreciation expense using double declining method for 3 months would be = ($ 16000/12 )*3= $ 4000

3) Depreciation per unit= (Cost -Salvage value) / Total units of production

Depreciation per unit=  $43,000 -$3,000/20,000=40,000/20,000=2

Depreciation Expense = Depreciation per unit * No of Units Produced

Depreciation Expense =  2*1000= $ 2000

Depreciation Expense using  Units of Production method would be $ 2000 for 3 months. i.e on 31st Oct 2013

alexdok [17]

Answer:

75 shares

Explanation:

In this specific scenario, it seems that Kevin is treated to 75 shares prior to the redemption. This is calculated by adding the 50 shares that Kevin holds directly prior to the redemption itself as well as the 25 extra shares that are held by AMI. These 25 shares are 50% of the total 50 shares that AMI holds since Kevin is a 50% partner.

Your father paid $10,000 (cf at t = 0) for an investment that promises to pay $750 at the end of each of the next 5 years, then
natta225 [31]

From the problem statement it is clear that here we need to find out simple interest rate. 
One do not get interest on any investment made at the end of tenure.  
Putting this mathematically:
 Let amount at the end of 5th year as A 
Simple Interest for 5 years, SI = 750 *5
 SI = 3750
 Hence A = 10000 +3750
 A= 13750
 Let rate of return = R
 Tenure t = 5
 But,
  A = P(1 + R*t/100)
 13750 = 10000( 1+ R*5/100)
 13750 = 10000 + 50000R/100
 3750 = 500R
 R = 3750/500
 R = 7.5 %
 
 Hence rate of return is 7.5% per annum (answer)
