Answer:

company's acid-test ratio is 1.63. Option e

Explanation:

Acid test ratio is similar to current ratio. However, current assets difficult to liquidate such as inventory are usually not included in the total current asset computation

Given,

Cash = $ 42,250

Short-term investments = 60,000

Accounts receivable, net = 79,500

Merchandise inventory = 115,000

Prepaid expenses = 9,700

Accounts payable = 111,400

Acid test = (42250 + 60000 + 79500 + 9700)/111400

               = 181750/111400

               = 1.63

Option e.

taurus [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

(1)

FV = PV x (1 + r)^N  

FV = $75,000

PV = $35,000

r = 8%

75,000 = 35,000 x (1.08)^N

(1.08)N = 2.1429

N ln 1.08 = ln 2.1429

N = ln 2.1429 / ln 1.08 = 0.33 / 0.033 = 10 years

(2)

FV = Annual payment, A x PVA

FV = $43,700

n = 6 years

A = 8,000

43,700 = 8,000 x PVA

PVA = 5.4625

PVIFA (6 years, r%) = 5.4172

r=3%.

(3)

PV = Annual payment, A x PVIFA (r%, n years)

PV = $18,000

n = 6 years

r = 9%

$18,000 = A x PVIFA (9%, 6 years) = A x 4.4859 [From PVIFA table]

A = $18,000 / 4.4859 = $4,012.57

Rising peanut prices have forced peanut butter makers to raise the price of a jar of peanut butter from $2 to $3 per jar, causin
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

37.5%

Explanation:

The percentage change in the price of a jar of peanut butter, using the midpoint method, is:

P_B = \frac{3-2}{\frac{3+2}{2}}*100=40\%

The percentage change in sales of jelly is 15%.

The cross elasticity of demand between peanut butter and jelly is:

E = \frac{15\%}{40\%}*100\%\\E=37.5\%

The cross elasticity of demand is 37.5%

What would happen if the European Union put a quota on American jeans and only allowed 4,000, pairs of jeans to be imported?
brilliants [131]

If the European Union put a quota on American jeans only allowing a small portion to be imported the demand for the jeans would rise even though the supply would not follow that.  When there is a small limit on something that consumers want, the price usually goes up because they know they will sell the items regardless and in this case that may happen. The price of jeans will rise, the demand will rise, but the supply will not.
