Answer:

increase the price of our products or services.

Explanation:

When the price elasticity is less than 1 (inelastic), then an increase in the price of our products or services will result in a proportionally smaller decrease in the quantity demanded. Therefore, by increasing our prices, we can increase total revenue even if the quantity demanded decreases a little.

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%

Ms. Finkel has suggested that if given sufficient resources, she could redesign the production process to reduce the percentage
liubo4ka [24]

Explanation:

To find the probability that the sample which fails to meet the required weight or the standard weight of the marshmallows having banana flavor if the process of production is working, such that probability for the weekly sample leads to shutdown of the production if the process of the production is running properly of  1 % of the probability that at least five boxes out of the twenty five sample fails to meet the standard weight which is less than one percent that is  $p(x \geq 5) \leq 0.01$

We know that for p = 0.8,   $p(x \geq 5) = 0.0452$

Now using binomial simulation, we can determine that $p(x \geq 5) \leq 0.01$ for  p = 0.0452

So the production process is to be redesigned for reducing the percentage of boxes of the Go Bananas of 16 ounces which failed to meet the required weight of the marshmallows having banana flavor if the production process is working properly to 5.42 percent.

All of the following are true regarding implied agreements EXCEPT which one?
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

An implied agreement is based on a formal agreement.

Explanation:

A contract can be defined as an agreement between two or more parties (group of people) which gives rise to a mutual legal obligation or enforceable by law.

There are different types of contract in business and these includes: fixed-price contract, cost-plus contract, bilateral contract, implied contract, unilateral contract, adhesion contract, unconscionable contract, option contract, express contract, executory contract, etc.

Mutual assent is a legal term which represents an agreement by both parties to a contract. When two parties to a contract both have an understanding of the parameters, terms and conditions surrounding a contract, it ultimately implies that they are in agreement; this is generally referred to as mutual assent.

Simply stated, mutual assent connotes agreement, acceptance and consent to a contract by both parties.

An implied contract can be defined as an informal contract that exists based on an assumption or understanding between two or more parties, rather than on terms that are formally and specifically defined.

This ultimately implies that, an implied agreement is not based on a formal agreement but on assumptions or understanding between the parties involved.
