Answer:

B. -1.5

Explanation

ELASTICITY of DEMAND is the responsivenes of demand to change in its factors (good price , related goods price, income , taste)

CROSS ELASTICITY of Demand refers to demand change due to 'related goods price' factor. It is positive in case of Substitute goods (having direct relationship) , negative in case of Complementary (having inverse relationship)

FORMULA = %change in demand / % change in price

In this case : %change in flank steals demand / %change in gas grills price

= -15/10 = -1.5 [Complementary Goods]

Answer:

B) -1.5

Explanation:

Cross-price elasticity of demand is calculated by dividing the percentage change in quantity demanded of good A by the percentage change in price of good B.

cross-price elasticity of demand = change in demand of flank steaks / change in price of gas grills = 15% / -10% = -1.5

nalin [4]

Answer:

4%

Explanation:

The Gordon constant growth dividend model =

Value = dividend / cost of capital - growth rate

Subsisting with the values given in the question gives :

25 = 2.5/0.14 - g

To solve for g,

1. multiply both sides by 0.14 - g

25(0.14 -g) = 2.5

2. divide both sides by 25

0.14 - g = 0.10

g = 0.04 = 4%

Lupo Corporation uses a job-order costing system with a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours. The
dlinn [17]

Answer:

Selling price= 240*1.4= $336

Explanation:

<u>First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:</u>

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (252,000/30,000) + 2.1

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $10.5 per machine hour

Job T687:

Number of units in the job 10

Total machine-hours 30

Direct materials $ 675

Direct labor cost $1,050

<u>Now, we need to allocate overhead and determine the total cost:</u>

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated MOH= 10.5*30= $315

Total cost= 675 + 1,050 + 315= $2,040

<u>Finally, the unitary cost and selling price:</u>

Unitary cost= 2,040/10= $240

Selling price= 240*1.4= $336

On October 1, Hawking Corp. had 40,000 shares of $2 par value common stock outstanding before it declared a 2-for-1 stock split.
Naily [24]

Answer:

1. After the split, how many shares of common stock are outstanding and what is their par value per share?

40,000 stocks outstanding x 2 = 80,000 stocks outstanding after the stock split

par value of each stock = $2 / 2 = $1

Aren't both questions the same?

2. After the split, the number of shares outstanding is <u>80,000</u> and the par value per share is <u>$1</u>.

Explanation:

When a stock split happens, the total number of outstanding stock is just multiplied by the stock split factor, in this case it was 2, but other times it might be 4 or 7 (like Apple stock). You just multiply total outstanding stock by the split number. On the other hand, par value is calculated by dividing the current par value by the split number.

The correct answer is "to survey <span>every 30th employee entering each mall entrance for one week".

Why is it considered to be the best method to get a random sample of the employees? The 30th employee, who enters the mall for the week is a random element and may work at different locations in the mall, which gives you a better random sample for the survey.</span>
