Explain why an item that has many close substitutes tends to have an elastic demand

Business
1 answer:
Blababa [14]3 years ago
6 0
The item that has many close substitutes tend to have an elastic demand since this means that the consumers have a lot of variations to choose from. This makes the demand for the item very dependent on the number of consumers this item caters. The more substitutes mean more competition, more choices for the consumers, less demand for a particular item.

Flura [38]

Answer:

36%

Explanation:

For the computation of the company's return on equity first we need to follow some steps which is shown below:-

Step 1

Earnings before tax = EBIT - Interest

= $452,000 - $152,000

= $300,000

Step 2

Earnings after interest and taxes = Earnings before tax - Tax

= $300,000 - ($300,000 × 40%)

= $300,000 - $120,000

= $180,000

Step 3

Asset turnover ratio = Total revenue ÷ Total assets

3.6 = $4,000,000 ÷ Total assets

Total assets = $1,111,111.11

Step 4

Equity ratio = 1 - Debt ratio

= 1 - 0.55

= 0.45

Step 5

Total Equity = Equity ratio × Total assets

= 0.45 × $1,111,111.11

= $500,000

and finally

Return on Equity = Net income ÷ Equity

= $180,000 ÷ $500,000

= 0.36

or

= 36%

Use the following chart to explain how the loan repayment period affects the total cost of the loan.
FromTheMoon [43]

Loan 1 and Loan 2 have the same principal and interest rate but different monthly payments and total loan costs, therefore, the loan repayment periods would be different.

<h3>What is the loan repayment period?</h3>

The loan repayment period refers to the time it takes to repay a loan.

When the amount being repaid is smaller, the loan repayment period tends to be longer, and vice versa.

Data and Calculations:

           Loan Repayment   Principal    Interest Rate    Monthly     Total cost

             Period                                                              Payment    of the loan

Loan 1    5 years                  $5,000    6.47 percent       $98         $5,866

Loan 2  10 years                 $5,000     6.47 percent       $57         $6,804

Thus, the loan repayment periods are affected by the monthly payments and total costs to reflect the loan terms.
