wolverine [178]

Answer:

Range of price elasticity of demand for cigarettes is from (-0.5) to (-0.3).

Explanation:

Percentage increase in price = 10%

Percentage reduction in quantity demanded = 3% to 5%

We are taking percentage change in the quantity demanded is equal to 3% for now.

Initial price elasticity of demand for cigarettes:

= Percentage change in quantity demanded ÷ Percentage change in price

= -3 ÷ 10

= -0.3

Now, we are taking percentage change in the quantity demanded is equal to 5%.

price elasticity of demand cigarettes:

= Percentage change in quantity demanded ÷ Percentage change in price

= -5 ÷ 10

= -0.5

Therefore, the range of price elasticity of demand for cigarettes is from (-0.5) to (-0.3).

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

the net cost of debt to a firm is generally less than the cost of equity.

Explanation:

If we assume both, investor in firms and lender to firms want's a certain return x

because the lender return (the interest) are tax deductible the net cost of debt will be:  x ( 1 - t)

where t is the tax rate being rate beteen 0 and 1

as 1 less a fraction will be less than 1 we can stablish that:

x > x(1 - t)

x is the cost of equity

while x(1-t) is the net cost of debt

therefore, the cost of debt is lower than cost of equity.
