Answer and Explanation:

An increase in the number of firms increases the demand elasticity. As the demand elasticity increases from 2 to 3 it means you could encounter less demand if product prices are increased. At a demand elasticity of -3, it is regarded as inelastic demand and a change in price will not affect the demand for the product as customers are still likely to patronize the product example gasoline. Due to its high demand, an increase in price will not readily affect the demand for it. Therefore if you are to change the price from $10 at 2 to 3 demand elasticity increase, the percentage of increase from 2 to 3 is given as.

3-2/2 X 100 = 50%

The new charge (x) at -3 demand elasticity = 50%/3 = 0.66666666

The increase in the new charge is therefore $10 + $10x = $10 + $10(0.166666) = $11.67

A company has a 40% gross margin, general and administrative expenses of $50, interest expense of $20, and net income of $70 for
Romashka [77]

Answer:

Answer is A

Explanation:

Remember Gross Margin = Gross Profit /Sales Revenue

We already know that Gross Margin = 0.4

We assume sales revenue as the unknown value (S)

Using the relationship above: Gross Profit (GP) = 0.4S

We know that Profit Before Tax = Gross Profit - General & Admin Expenses - Interest Expense

Substitute the values in the equation above.

Profit Before Tax (PBT) = 0.4S - 50 - 20

                                      = 0.4S - 70

To calculate the Tax we multiply the Tax rate (30%) by the PBT

Tax = (0.3) x (0.4S -70)

      = 0.12S - 21

We know that Net Income = PBT - Tax

We now substitute the values:

70 = 0.4S - 70 - (0.12S - 21)

Solving the equation for S results in the value of Sales Revenue equaling $425.

The Director of Information Technology for the city of Tampa, Florida formed a company to sell computer supplies and software. A
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

1. Recording

2. Authorization

Explanation:

Based on the scenario described above, it can be concluded that the control issue, in this case, arose because the Director had both RECORDING and AUTHORIZING duties.

This is because, for the Director of Information Technology for the city of Tampa, Florida not to have been convicted by a jury regardless of what she did, she must have followed the Segregation of Duties accordingly. This is a means of reducing the errors or fraudulent activities of employees.

And given she has a RECORD of transactions to prove her innocence and at the same time, she has AUTHORIZATION or the approval to supply the software, and hence, she is not guilty of the accusation.

When demand is unit elastic, price elasticity of demand equals a. 1, and total revenue and price move in the same direction. b.
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

a. 1, and total revenue and price move in the same direction

Explanation:

Unit elasticity of demand is when a change in price leads to a proportional change in quantity demanded.

A good has a unit elastic demand when its coefficient of elasticity is equal to one.

If price increases by 20% , quantity demanded falls by 20%.

If price falls by 20%, quantity demanded increases by 20%.

I hope my answer helps you.

The price of a ranchette estate is $260,000. The bank requires a 15% down payment and 3 points at the time of closing. The cost
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

Missing word<em> "and the cost of one point at the time of closing"</em>

<em />

Down payment = $260,000*15%

Down payment = $260,000*0.15

Down payment = $39,000

Amount of mortgage = $260,000 - $39,000

Amount of mortgage = $221,000

Cost of 3 point at the time of closing = 3% of amount of mortgage

Cost of 3 point at the time of closing = 3% * $221,000

Cost of 3 point at the time of closing = $6,630
