Answer:

-2

Explanation:

Good X and Y are related goods

When the price of Good X rises by 20 percent the quantity for Good Y falls by 40 percent

Therefore the cross price elasticity can be calculated as follows

= -40/20

= -2

Hence the cross price elasticity is -2

The interval at which an asset should be replaced to minimize cost (or maximize worth) is known as the: ________
madam [21]

Answer:

c. Optimum replacement interval (ORI)

Explanation:

Optimum replacement interval used to estimate the most cost effective time to replace an asset on the basis of their replacement cost.

There needs to be a balance between the replacement cost and the value that is being lost by changing the asset.

The useful value must be low to justify replacement cost.

For example if the cost of maintaining a machine has increased a lot as a result of wear and tear, it will be more cost effective to make a replacement in order to minimise cost and increase efficiency

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

Required 1.

Break even point (dollar sales) =   $750,000

Required 2.

Break even point (dollar sales) = $1,250,000

Required 3.

ASTRO COMPANY

Forecasted Contribution Margin Income Statement

For Year Ended December 31, 2016

Sales                             $ 1,000,000

Variable costs               ($ 400,000 )

Contribution margin      $ 600,000

Fixed costs                    ($ 450,000 )

Net loss                           $ 150,000

Required 4.

Sales to meet target profit (dollar sales) = $1,833,333

Sales to meet target profit (unit sales) = 73,334

Explanation:

Break even point is the level of activity where a Company neither makes a profit nor a loss.

<em>Break even point (dollar sales) = Fixed Cost / Contribution Margin Ratio</em>

Where,

Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution / Sales

                                           = $ 200,000 / $ 1,000,000

                                           = 0.20

Therefore,

Break even point (dollar sales) = $250,000 / 0.20

                                                   = $1,250,000

<u>Assuming the machine is installed</u>

Contribution Margin Ratio = ($ 1,000,000 - $400,000) / $ 1,000,000

                                           = $600,000 / $1,000,000

                                           = 0.60

Therefore,

Break even point (dollar sales) = ($250,000 + $200,000) / 0.60

                                                   = $750,000

Sales to meet target profit of $200,000

Sales to meet target profit (dollar sales) = Fixed Cost + Target Profit  / Contribution Margin Ratio

                                                                  = ($450,000 + $200,000) / 0.60

                                                                  = $1,833,333

Sales to meet target profit (unit sales) = $1,833,333 / $25

                                                               = 73,334

A two-year bond with par value $1,000 making annual coupon payments of $99 is priced at $1,000.
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

(a) 9.9%

(b)  10.09%

The further explanation is given below.

Explanation:

The given values are:

Coupon payment

=  $99

Price

=  $1,000

(a)

The Yield to maturity (YTM) will be:

= \frac{C+\frac{F-P}{n} }{\frac{F+P}{2} }

where,

C = Coupon payment

P = Price

n = years to maturity

F = Face value

On putting the estimated values is the above formula, we get

⇒  99+\frac{0}{1000}

⇒  .099

⇒  9.9%

(b)

Although the 1st year coupon was indeed reinvested outside an interest rate of r%, cumulative money raised will indeed be made at the end of 2nd year.  

= [99\times (1 + r)] + 1,099

Came to the realization compound YTM is therefore a function of r, as is shown throughout the table below:

Rate (r)             Total proceeds         Realized YTM ((\frac{proceeds}{1000} )^{.5} - 1)

7.9%                      1205.8                                   9.8%

9.9%                             1207.8                                   9.9%

11.9%                      1209.8                                  9.99%

Now,

Overall proceeds realized YTM:

= \frac{proceeds}{1000} -18 \ percent \ 1,\frac{2081208}{1000} - 1

= 0.0991

= 9.91 \ percent \ 10 \ percent \ 1,\frac{2101210}{1000}- 1

= 0.1000

= 10.00 \ percent \ 12 \ percent \ 1,\frac{2121212}{1000}-1

= 0.1009

= 10.09%

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

<em>Sorry, I could not type the answer here directly because it doesn't allow me.</em>

It should be "spam" followed by "at"<em> (the symbol sign) </em>and "uce" plus "." and "gov"

There should be no spaces.

Explanation:

A "spam" refers to<em> an email that you do not want in your inbox</em>. They are mostly intended for commercial purposes–including some emails that are deceptive. There are actually many ways to reduce the amount of spam reaching your email. For example, you could use an <em>email filter </em>or choose a <em>unique email address. </em>

Kenny above wants to report the spam he is receiving, thus, he needs to forward it to the Federal Trade Commission <em>(FTC). </em>They are responsible for helping Kenny clear his inbox from spams.
