Anna [14]

Answer: B. is more price elastic in the long run than in the short run because in the long run a substitute for crude oil may be found

Explanation:

The Demand for Crude oil is more elastic in the long run than in the short run because in the long run a substitute for crude oil may be found.

Crude oil is more elastic in the long run because consumers have enough time to find substitute products for crude oil. Price elasticity of demand in the short run  is low because consumers donot have sufficient time to look for substitutes , they donot have much of a choice but to take whatever price is charged by producers of crude oil

What is the percentage loss on the funds she invested if the interest payment is included in the calculation
adoni [48]

Answer with complete Question:

Barbara buys 130 shares of DEM at $33.00 a share and 190 shares of GOP at $37.00 a share. She buys on margin and the broker charges interest of 7 percent on the loan.

a. If the margin requirement is 42 percent, what is the maximum amount she can borrow? Round your answer to the nearest cent.

$ 6,565.60

(Which is equal to 58(100 - 42)% of $11,320.)

b. If she buys the stocks using the borrowed money and holds the securities for a year, how much interest must she pay? Round your answer to the nearest cent.

$  459.59 ($6,565.60 x 7%)

If after a year she sells DEM for $22.00 a share and GOP for $30.00 a share, how much did she lose on her investment? Use a minus sign to enter the amount as a negative value. Round your answer to the nearest cent.

$  2,760

What is the percentage loss on the funds she invested if the interest payment is included in the calculation? Use a minus sign to enter the amount as a negative value. Round your answer to two decimal places.

28.44 %

Explanation:

a. Data and Calculations:

DEM, 130 shares at $33.00 a share = $4,290

GOP, 190 shares at $37.00 a share =   7,030

Total value of investments = $11,320

Margin requirement = 42% of $11.320 = $4,754.40

Barbara can borrow $6,565.60 ($11,320 - $4,754.40)

1. Interest on borrowed fund (margin):

$6,565.60 x 7% = $459.59

2. Loss from Sale of:

DEM, 130 shares at $22.00 a share = $1,430 ($11 x 130)

GOP, 190 shares at $30.00 a share = $1,330 ($7 x 190)

Total loss from investments = $2,760

3. Percentage Loss, with interest included:

Interest on borrowed fund = $6,565.60 x 7% = $459.59

Total loss from investments =       $2,760.00

Total loss  = $3,219.59

Total value of investments = $11,320

Percentage Loss = $3,219.59/$11,320 * 100 = 28.44%

Credit sales are recorded by crediting an accounts receivable.
Anna35 [415]
The answer to the sentence above is false based on the transaction above. Account Receiveable is an asset account which has "debit" as its natural balance. Recording credit sales will increase the account receivable balance and sales balance, thus an increase in account receivable balance occurs on the debit side.

Explanation:

Contract price = $525,000

Contract data:

                                                                  20X1           20X2

Costs incurred during the year          $290,000     $150,000

Estimated additional cost to complete  145,000        —

Billings during the year                         260,000      265,000

Cash collections during the year         240,000       285,000

Revenue Recognition over time based on costs:

Total estimated cost = $435,000 ($290,000 + 145,000)

Revenue in the 1st year = ($290,000/435,000 * $525,000) = $350,000

Revenue in the 2nd year = $175,000 ($525,000 - $350,000)

Revenue Recognition at point in time when control is transferred:

Revenue in the 1st year = $0

Revenue in the 2nd year = $525,000
