Answer:
0.079
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand using midpoint formula can be calculated as follows
Formula
Elasticity of demand = (change in quantity/average quantity)/(change in price/average price)
Calculation
Elasticity of demand = (600/10,900)/(-2.1/3.05)
Elasticity of demand =-0.055 / -0.688
Elasticity of demand =-0.079
working
Change in price (2-4.1) = -2.1  
Average price (2+4.1)/2=3.05
Change in quantity (11,200-10600) = 600
average quantity (11,200+10,600)/2 = 10,900
  
The elasticity of demand is inelastic as the elasticity is below 1.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
company B's cost of equity is 14.0375% - 8.975% = 5.0625% higher than company A's cost of equity
Explanation:
cost of equity = risk free rate + (beta x market premium) 
risk free rate = 4.25%
market premium = market return - risk free rate = 11% - 4.25% = 6.75%
Company A's cost of equity = 4.25% + (0.7 x 6.75%) = 8.975%
Company B's cost of equity = 4.25% x (1.45 x 6.75%) = 14.0375%
this means that company B's cost of equity is 14.0375% - 8.975% = 5.0625% higher than company A's cost of equity. 
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
97 days
Explanation:
In simple interest method, the interest is calculated by the following formula
I= P x R x T
I= interest
P = principal amount
R =interest rate
T= Time
In this case
I=$16
P=$1500$
R= 4% or 0.04%
T= time
$16= $1500 x 0.04 x Time
$16 =60 x Time
Time = 16/60
time = 0.2666 year.
time in days =  0.26666 x 365 days
=97.333 days
=97 days
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
(a) What was the total of accounts written off during the first 11 months?
bad debts written for the first 11 months = allowance for bad debt accounts January 1 balance + bad debt expense - allowance for bad debt accounts November 30 balance = $13,085 + $21,937 - $9,919 = $25,103
(b) As the result of a comprehensive analysis, it is determined that the December 31, 2010, balance of the Allowance for Bad Debts account should be $9,450. Show the adjustment required in the journal entry format.Allowance for bad debt Debit $Bad debt expenses Credit $
to determine the amount of bad debt expense that must be adjusted, we must subtract the estimated balance in December 31 from the balance in November 30 = $9,919 - $9,450 = $469. Since the November 30 amount is larger, it means that we over estimated our bad debt expense and it must be reduced:
Dr Allowance for doubtful accounts 469
     Cr Accounts receivable 469
