Answer:

b. small percentage changes in the price will lead to much larger percentage changes in the quantity demanded.

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand is a measure of how responsive is quantity demanded to change in price. Its formula is given by:

$E_{D}$ = $\frac{dQ}{Q}{\frac{P}{dP} =$

= % Change in Quantity Demanded / % Change in Price

So when absolute value $E_{D}$ is greater than 1, a x percentage change in price will lead to larger than x percentage change in quantity demanded.

<u>Note</u>: Whether the percentage change in quantity demanded will be just a little or very much larger than percentage change in price will depend on how much $E_{D}$ is larger than 1. But b is the still the best answer among the options.

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

The question is not complete:

On July 15, 2016, you convert 650,000 U.S. dollars to Japanese yen in the spot foreign exchange market (¥104.91/$) and purchase a six-month forward contract ($0.0095320/¥1) to convert yen into dollars. How much will you receive in U.S. dollars at the end of six months? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))

The sum of $650,001.38 would be received in six months

Explanation:

In the first place by buying the yen in the spot market on July 15 ,2016, the amount of yen is computed thus:

$650,000 was at (¥104.91/$) ,which implies that each $ was exchanged for ¥104.91

yen received =$650,000*104.91/1

= ¥ 68,191,500.00

The six month forward contract outcome is as follows:

($0.0095320/¥1)

each Yen was exchanged $0.0095320

dollars received= ¥ 68,191,500.00 *0.0095320/1

=$650,001.38

On January 1, 2020, Cougar Sales, Inc. issued $15,000 in bonds for $14,700. They were 6-year bonds with a stated rate of 9%, and

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

$700

Explanation:

If a bond is issued at a lower price than the face value of the bond, then the bond is issued on the discount. This discount is amortized over the bond's life. This amortization will be expensed as Interest Expense.

Discount = Face value - Issuance price = $15,000 - $14,700 = $300

Bond's Life = 6 years

Amortization of discount = $300 / 6 = $50 annually = $25 semiannually

Coupon Payment = Face Value x coupon Rate = $15,000 x 9% = $1.350 annually = $675 semiannually

Interest Expense Includes both the coupon payment and discount amortization for the period.

Interest Expense = $675 + $25 = $700
