Answer:

Loss in purchasing power =$(96.67)

Explanation:

To determine the change in purchasing power, we will compare the value of the IRA after 3 years to its purchasing power in term the prices there years ago.

The value of 5,500 in 3 years time = 5,500 × 1.012^3 = 5700.385

The purchasing power of 57,000.38 in term's of the price 3 years ago

=5700.385504 × 1/(1.018^3)

= $5403.32

Change in purchasing power =  $5403.32 -  $5,500= $(96.67)

Loss in purchasing power =$(96.67)

Answer:

EOQ= 300 units

Annual ordering cost= $3750

Annual holding cost =$3750

Re-order point =100 units

Explanation:

The Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) is the order size that minimizes the balance of ordering cost and holding cost. At the EOQ, the carrying cost is equal to the holding cost.

It is computed using he formulae below

EOQ = √ (2× Co× D)/Ch

EOQ = √ (2× 75× 15,000)/25

EOQ = 300 units

Annual holding cost

= EOQ/2 × holding cost per unit

= 300/2 ×  $25

=$3750

Annual ordering cost

= Annul demand/EOQ × ordering cost per order

=( 15,000/300)× $75

= $3750

Re-order Point

Maximum consumption × maximum lead time

=( 15,000/300)× 2 = 100 units

Suppose the price of crude oil drops from 150$ a barrel to 120$a barrel. The quantity bought remains unchanged at 100 barrels. T
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

coefficient = 0

Explanation:

We have the formula to calculate the price elasticity of demand as following:

<em>Elasticity coefficient = % Change in quantity/ % Change in price</em>

As given:

+) The percentage change in price is: (120-150)/150= - 20%

+) The quantity bought remains unchanged - which means the percentage change in quantity demanded is 0%

=> <em>Elasticity coefficient = % Change in quantity/ % Change in price</em>

<em>= 0/-20 = 0</em>

<em />

<em>So the coefficient of price elasticity of demand in this example would be 0</em>
