anzhelika [568]

Answer:

Inelastic; 5%; fall; 10%; rise

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand is always negative for normal goods. This happens because of the law of demand, that demand falls with rise in price.

Price elasticity between 0 and 1 shows inelastic demand.

This means that there is smaller change in demand due to a greater change in price level.

Price elasticity of demand is -0.5.

If the price falls by 10%, demand will increase by 5%.

The revenue will fall, because of greater fall in price.

If the price increases by 20%, demand will fall by 10%.

Revenue will increase because of greater increase in price.

For each hypothetical scenario, indicate whether the tariff described is more likely a protective tariff or a revenue tariff.

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

a. In response to concerns from business leaders, a legislator has designed a new tariff on raw materials used by many manufacturing firms. The legislator felt the new tariff was necessary based on input from the private sector that new discoveries of natural resources abroad would threaten to put domestic producers of raw materials out of business. To meet this goal, this tariff will charge $1,500 on every crate of the imported goods plus an additional 6% of the total value of the imported goods.

protective tariff since it is designed to protect domestic industries from competition of out of state producers. It is designed to increase the price of imported goods.

b. In an effort to balance next year's budget, a senator has proposed a new tariff. She proposed the new tariff with a goal of raising a total of $100 million, To meet this goal, this tariff will charge $2,000 on every ton that is imported.

revenue tariff since its main purpose is to increase government revenue, not to protect domestic industries.

Olenka [21]

Answer: The one day rate of return on the stock is 1.49%

We arrive at the answer in the following manner:

First we need to calculate yesterday's and today's index values.

For that we need to find weights of each day based on market capitalization.

$Market Capitalization _{ a stock} = Market Price * No .of outstanding shares$

The weight of a company in the index is calculated by dividing the market capitalization of a company by the total market capitalization of all the companies whose shares are a part of the index.

$Weight_{Company A} =\frac{Mkt Cap of company A}{Total Market cap}$

Then, we multiply the share price of each company with their respective weights and find the total to arrive at the index value for one day.

Yesterday's Index Value

Stock Price No. of shares Mkt Cap Weight Weight*Price

A 12 600000 7200000 0.25 2.96 (0.25*12)

B 20 500000 10000000 0.34 6.85(0.34*20)

C 60 200000 12000000 0.41 24.66 (0.41*60)

Total 29200000 1.00 34.47

We calculate the weight for stock A as follows:

$Weight_{A} =\frac{72,00,000}{2,92,00,000} = 0.2466 = 0.25$

We calculate the weights of the remaining stocks in a similar manner.

Please note that the sum total of all weights must add up to 1.

The sum total of the last column (Price * Weight) is yesterday's index value.

We repeat the same steps with today's market price to arrive at today's index value.

Today's index Value

Stock Price No. of shares Mkt Cap Weight Weight*Price

A 16 600000 96,00,000 0.31 4.95 (0.31*16)

B 18 500000 90,00,000 0.29 5.23 (0.29*18)

C 62 200000 1,24,00,000 0.40 24.80(0.40*62)

Total 3,10,00,000 1.00 34.98

One-day Rate of Return

We can calculate the one day rate of return on the index as follows:

$Rate of return = [\frac{(Today's index value - Yesterday's index value}{Yesterday's index value}) * 100$

$Rate of Return = ( \frac{34.98 - 34.47}{34.47}) * 100$

$Rate of return = (\frac{0.51}{34.47}) *100$

Rate of return = 0.01494 or 1.49%

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

The current market price is $ 883.08

Explanation:

The current market price can be ascertained using the pv excel function as follows:

=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)

rate is the semiannual yield to maturity which is 5%/2

nper is the number of semiannual coupons in the bond i.e 10*2=20

pmt is the semiannual coupon=3.5%*1/2*$1000=$17.5

fv is the face value of the bond

=-pv(5%/2,20,17.5,1000)=$ 883.08

Charter Company, which uses the perpetual inventory method, purchases different letters for resale. Character had a beginning in

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

Cost of Goods sold is $29

Explanation:

Under the perpetual LIFO or Last In First Out method of inventory valuation, we value the Cost of Goods Sold based on the price of the most recently purchased inventory before sale. Thus the units of closing inventory contains the inventory that was purchased first.

The cost of goods sold under LIFO will be,

Beginning Inventory (9* 3) = 27

Feb purchases (4 * 5) = 20

Oct sales (4 * 5 + 3 * 3) = (29)

Dec purchases (5 * 6) = 30

Ending Inventory = 48

So, the cost of goods sold under perpetual LIFO will comprise of the most recently purchased inventory before sale. The most recently purchased inventory before October sale was of February purchases. Thus, out of the 7 units sold, 4 will comprise of the February purchases and the remaining, 3 units, will be from the beginning inventory.

The cost of goods sold is,

COGS = 4 * 5 + 3 * 3

COGS = 29
