Take that 50/50 chance.

Answer

I would stop playing and leave with the $10000 free of tax

Explanation

The truth in such games is that they are not designed to be exactly 50/50. There are possibilities for outcomes that will tie or loose. Furthermore, a game that is really 50/50, the house will deduct some commission. These games always have a room for the house advantage, thus for me, I will just go with $10000 fortune!

When managers are evaluated on residual income, rather than on return on investment (ROI), they will be______(more/less) likely
anygoal [31]

When managers are evaluated on residual income, rather than on return on investment (ROI), they will be more likely to pursue projects that will benefit the entire company.

Explanation:

The most rising profitable formula is return on investments or ROI. There are several methods of calculating ROI, but dividing net income by total assets is the most common process.

If you have $100,000 net profits and $300,000 in cash, the ROI is $300,000. Thirty-three or three percent.

Due to its flexibility and simplicity, ROI is a common metric. In general, ROI can be used as a basic measure of the viability of an project. It may be the ROI for a capital sale, a company's ROI for an extension of a factory or ROI for an immobilisation operation.

Computech Corporation is expanding rapidly and currently needs to retain all of its earnings; hence, it does not pay dividends.
kifflom [539]

Answer:

P₀ = $12.23

Explanation:

Div₃ = $1.25

Div₄ = $1.65

Div₅ = $2.178

Div₆ = $2.30868

first we must calculate the terminal value using the dividend discount model = $2.30868 / (17% - 6%) = $20.988

now we must discount all the future dividends + terminal value

P₀ = $1.25/1.17³ + $1.65/1.17⁴ + $2.178/1.17⁵ + $20.988/1.17⁵ = $12.23

When the price of good A is $50, the quantity demanded of good A is 500 units. When the price of good A rises to $70, the quanti
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

total revenue  for 500 is $2500

total revenue  for 400 is $2800

Explanation:

given data

price of good A = $50

quantity demanded of good A = 500 units

price of good A rises = $70

quantity demanded of good A falls = 400 units

solution

we get here Elasticity of demand that is express as

Elasticity of demand = (change in quantity ÷ average quantity) ÷ (change in price ÷ average price)   .......................1

here

Change in quantity is = 400 - 500 = -100  

and average quantity is =  \frac{400+500}{2} = 450

and change in price is = 70 - 50 = 20

average price is = \frac{70+50}{2} = 60

so now we put all value in equation 1

Elasticity of demand  = \frac{\frac{-100}{450} }{\frac{20}{60} }

Elasticity of demand  = -0.67

as here the elasticity of demand is inelastic because elasticity is above -1

so about total revenue when price will increases as elasticity is inelastic

so increase in price will cause increase in revenue because revenue is maximum when elasticity = -1

and increase in price will cause increases elasticity in the absolute term and revenue will increase

total revenue = price × quantity

so

total revenue  for 500 = 500 × 5 = $2500

total revenue  for 400 = 400 × 7 = $2800
