If the price elasticity of demand for Mountain Dew is 4.4 then "mountain dew has a high price elasticity of demand".
<u>Answer:</u> Option D
<u>Explanation:</u>
In economics "Price elasticity of demand" (PED) is a metric required to illustrate the flexibility or elasticity of a product or service's required quantity to increase its value when nothing but the value of product vary. When mountain dew have price elasticity of demand is 4.4 this follows that a price increase of 10 percent would result in the quantity needed decline by 44%
as illustrated below:
4.4 = (% quantity change) / (% price change)
4.4 = x / 10
x = -4.4 (10) = -44% here negative sign shows decline in quantity required.
Answer:
Explanation:
a. Provide the journal entry for the vacation pay
Employees earned vacation pay of $39,500 for the period.
Debit Credit
Vacation pay expense A/C $39,500

=> The pension plan requires a contribution to the plan administrator: $750,000*9% = $67,500
Debit Credit
Pension expense $750,000
To cash A/C $67,500

Hope it will find you well.
Answer:
The price of the bond is $1000. Thus, option a is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The price of a bond is calculated using the present value of the interest payments made by the bond, which is in the form of an annuity, plus the present value of the face value of the bond. The present value is calculated by discounting the annuity of interest and the face value by the YTM or yield to maturity. In case YTM is not provided, we assume that it is same as or equal to the coupon rate paid by the bond.
The formula for the price of the bond is attached.
Bond Price = 25 * [(1 - (1+0.025)^-8) / 0.025] + 1000 / (1+0.025)^8
Bond Price = $1000
Answer:
The answer is Option C
Explanation:
Any event that would either decrease the demand for loanable funds or increase the supply of loanable funds will decrease the equilibrium interest rates. Supply of loanable funds is affect by the amount of national savings. National savings in turn, is the sum of private savings, public saving and net capital inflow.
In option C, capital inflows are increasing. This means that there would be an excess supply of money in the economy which can be converted into loanable funds. This would, therefore, push the supply curve to the right thereby reducing the real interest rate equilibrium.
Answer:
The correct answer is Maverick buying.
Explanation:
Maverick, is a wayward, a dissident, a rebel, someone who refuses to abide by the rules or resists joining a group. The term originates from Samuel A. Maverick (1803-1870), a Texas rancher, who refused to mark his cattle.
The "maverick buying", refers to purchases out of contract or channels established by an organization. For example, the Corporate Supply department negotiates a competitive price for certain particular models of laptops with a distributor. Days later, someone from the Human Resources department requests the purchase of a much more expensive model, for which a discount has not been negotiated.
Another example: traveling in an airline and staying in a hotel other than those with which the company has signed agreements.
The impact of bypassing the preferred purchasing channels and systems can vary from operational inefficiency, to missing out on the advantages of corporate contract negotiation, large fines and even jail time.
