Explanation:
Answer:
Option (A) is correct.
Explanation:
Given that,
2018:
Accounts receivable (net) = $20
Net sales = $115
Cost of goods sold = $60
Net income = $20
Inventory turnover = 5.22
Return on equity = Return on assets × Equity multiple
= 10.3% × 2.36
= 24.308% or 24.3%
Therefore, Dowling's return on equity for 2018 is 24.3%.
Answer:
The demand for Jim’s product is elastic
Explanation:
In this question, we are to calculate the price elasticity of demand for the product.
We proceed as follows;
The formula for calculating elasticity of demand is
e = [(Q2 - Q1) / {(Q1 + Q2) / 2}] / [(P2 - P1) / {(P1 + P2) / 2}]
Here, Q2 = 6000
Q1 = 8000
P2 = $250
P1 = $200
e = [(6000 - 8000) / {(8000 + 6000) / 2}] / [($250 - $200) / {($200 + $250) / 2}]
e = [(- 2000) / 7000] / [(50 / 225]
e = - 1.3
That means absolute value of e is 1.3.
So, as the absolute value of e is more than 1 (i.e., 1.3), that means the demand for the product is elastic.
a) ( 0.8509718, 0.8890282)
b) ( 0.7255, 0.7745)
Explanation:
(a)
Given that , a = 0.05, Z(0.025) =1.96 (from standard normal table)
So Margin of error = Z × sqrt(p × (1-p)/n) = 1.96 × sqrt(0.87 × (1-0.87) / 1200)
=0.01902816
So 95 % confidence interval is
p+/-E
0.87+/-0.01902816
( 0.8509718, 0.8890282)
(b)
Margin of error = 1.96 × sqrt (0.75 × (1-0.75) / 1200) = 0.0245
So 95% confidence interval is
p+/-E
0.75+/-0.0245
( 0.7255, 0.7745)
