At a total cost of $20, the number of trips is 190,000. if you use an estimate of the elasticity equal to 2, how many trips will

people take when the fee is $16? (hint: take the percent change in price and multiply it by the elasticity of 2. this is the percent change in quantity. apply this to the 190,000 quantity at a $20 total cost. finally, subtract off this change from the 190,000 quantity.)

<span>An elasticity of 2 means that a 1% increase in price will cause a 2% decrease in demand.
 Change in price in % = (20 - 16) / 20 * 100 = 4/20 * 100 = 20%. So there's a 20% decrease in price (from $20 to $16)
 A 20% decrease in price will result in a 40% increase in demand since elasticity equals 2.
 So 40/ 100 * 190, 000 = 76, 000
 Hence since there's an increase in demand the people will make 190, 000 + 76, 000 = 266, 000</span>

Barry has just become eligible for his​ employer-sponsored retirement plan. Barry is 40 and plans to retire at 65. Barry calcula
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

$713,449.15

Explanation:

Barry’s total personal amount to invest = Initial amount + additional amount

                                                                 = $4,500 + 1,140

Barry’s total personal amount to invest = $5,640

Since Barry’s employer would match this amount, total amount to invest will be;

Total amount to invest for Barry = $5,640 + $5,640 = $11,280

The new amount Barry will have at retirement can be calculated using future value of an annuity formula stated as follows:

FV = M × {[(1 + r)^n - 1] ÷ r} ................................. (1)

Where,

FV = Future value of the amount at the retirement

M = Total amount to contribute yearly by Barry and his employer = $11,280

r = Rate of return = 7% = 0.07

n = number of periods = 65 – 40 = 25 years

Substituting the values for into equation (1), we have:

FV = $11,280 × {[(1 + 0.07)^25 - 1] ÷ 0.07}

     = $11,280 × {[(1.07)^25 - 1] ÷ 0.07}

     = $11,280 × {[5.42743264012289 - 1] ÷ 0.07}

     = $11,280 × {4.42743264012289 ÷ 0.07}

     = $11,280 × 63.2490377160413

FV = $713,449.15

Therefore, Barry would have $713,449.15 at retirement if he could invest an additional $1,140 per year that his employer would match.

alexira [117]

Answer:

The market's required rate of return on Sure's stock is 16.5%

Explanation:

The required rate of return is the minimum return that investors would accept to invest in a stock based on the risk associated to that stock. The required rate of return can be calculated using the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM). The formula for required rate of return under this model is,

Required rate of return (r) =  rFR + Beta * (rM - rFR)

Where,

  • rFR is the risk free rate
  • Beta is the stock's measure of risk
  • rM is the expected return on market

Thus, for Sure Tool, the required rate of return is,

r = 0.04 + 1.25 * (0.14 - 0.04)

r = 0.165 or 16.5%
