If the sellers pay the majority of the tax, then the supply is more inelastic than demand.

If something is inelastic it is not sensitive to changes in the price or income of someone. The sellers will always have more of the tax burden when supply is more inelastic than demand and vis versa when demand is more inelastic than supply.

Worthington Inc. is considering a project that has the following cash flow data. What is the project's payback?Year 0 1 2 3Cash

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

c. 2.50 years

Explanation:

In the payback, we analyze in how many years the invested amount is recovered. The computation is shown below:

In year 0 = $500

In year 1 = $150

In year 2 = $200

In year 3 = $300

If we sum the first 2 year cash inflows than it would be $350

Now we deduct the $350 from the $500 , so the amount would be $150 as if we added the fourth year cash inflow so the total amount exceed to the initial investment. So, we deduct it

And, the next year cash inflow is $300

So, the payback period equal to

= 2 years + ($150 ÷ $300)

= 2.50 years

In 2.50 yeas, the invested amount is recovered.

Stilley Corporation had earnings after taxes of $438,000 in 20X2 with 200,000 shares outstanding. The stock price was $42.10. In

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

a) Earnings Per Share for 20X2 = 2.19

P/E ratio for 20X2 = 19.22

b) Earnings Per Share for 20X3 = 1.04

P/E ratio for 20X3 = 27.21

Explanation:

a) Compute earnings per share and the P/E ratio for 20X2.

The compute the earnings per share use the following:

Earnings Per Share for 20X2 = (Earnings after tax-Preference Dividend) / shares outstanding

$= \frac{438,000 - 0}{200,000} = 2.19$

Earnings Per Share for 20X2 = 2.19

Then find P/E ratio:

P/E ratio for 20X2 = Market Price per share / Earnings Per Share

$\frac{42.10}{2.19} = 19.224$

P/E ratio for 20X2 = 19.22

b) Compute earnings per share and the P/E ratio for 20X3.

The compute the earnings per share use the following:

Earnings Per Share for 20X3 =(Earnings after tax-Preference Dividend) / shares outstanding

$= \frac{208,000 - 0}{200,000} = 1.04$

Earnings Per Share for 20X3 = 1.04

Then find P/E ratio:

P/E ratio for 20X3 = Market Price per share / Earnings Per Share

$\frac{28.30}{1.04} = 27.21$

P/E ratio for 20X3 = 27.21

Consider a perfectly competitive market in which all firms have the same costs. Choose the statement that is incorrect.

Furkat [3]

Answer:

B. The market demand is perfectly elastic at the market price. °

Explanation:

As we know that in the case of perfect competitive market there is a big number of sellers and buyers who sells same kind of product, there is no entry and exit barriers also the firm is a price taker

In addition to this, the market price and output would be measured by the supply and demand force. The profit maximizing output for every firm would considered the market price with the prescribed output and at the time when firm is shutdown so the market price would below the average variable cost

So the option b is incorrect

You plan to retire in 30 years and you are investing $250 per month in the BMO Large-Cap Growth mutual fund. The fund has an ave

mr Goodwill [35]

Accumulated Balance is given by :

$A=P\dfrac{(1+i)^n-1}{i}\times (1+i)$

Here,

n = time period = 30×12 = 360.

$i=\dfrac{13.45}{100}\times \dfrac{1}{12}=0.0112$

P = principal price = $250.

Putting all given values in above equation, we get :

$A=250\times \dfrac{(1+0.0112)^{360}-1}{0.0112}\times (1+0.0112)\\\\A=\$1221659.48$

Hence, this is the required solution.
