Answer: 0%
Explanation:
Elasticity measures the change in demand resulting from a change in price. The law of demand holds that when prices increase, quantity demand would decrease and elasticity is meant to show the magnitude of this change.
A unit elastic good means that prices and quantity demanded change by the same amount. This means that for a unit elastic good, if the price change is a 5% increase, the quantity demanded will decrease by 5%.
In terms of revenue, if the price increases by the same amount that quantity demanded decreases, the effects will cancel out so there will be no revenue effect.
Answer:
We see that Prog A will give an annual CF of 75%*$6000 = $4500
Prog B will give annual CF of 95%*$6000 = $5700
Disc Rate Kd = 20%
So PV of Annuity of $1 for 5 yrs with Kd = 20% is 2.9906
So NPV of Prog A = CF0+CF1+ ....+Cf5 = -12000+2.9906*4500 = $1,458
So NPV of Prog B= CF0+CF1+ ....+Cf5 = -20000+2.9906*5700 = $(2,954)
So Prog A is more effective as it gives a Positive NPV
Answer:
To enforce this promise we need to analyse whether there has been any agreement or contract between Sarah and Odessa and whether the same can be enforced.
Explanation:
In Sarah's case, her offer to gratuitously pay the neighbor for assisting in the house fire is not an enforceable contract. When the neighbor rushed to help in the fire, the offer to pay $1,000 had not yet been extended. When Sarah did extend the offer to pay $1,000, there was no consideration exchanged between both parties. The consideration, putting out the fire, had already occurred without the offer or acceptance of a contract.
Consider an alternate scenario. Sarah's house was on fire, and she could not wait for the fire department. She ran to her neighbor's house, begged for help, and offered $1,000 in exchange for neighbor's assistance. After hearing Sarah's plea, the neighbor agrees to assist in extinguishing the fire. This constitutes a contract; an offer, consideration, and acceptance.
Answer:
Hence, $ 145548.77 should be invested in B today for it to be worth as much as investment A 9 years from now.
Explanation:
Future value of investment A
=2180*(((1+(8%/12))^(9*12)-1)/(8%/12))
=343196.39
How much money would you need to invest in B today
=343196.39/(1+10%)^9
=145548.77
