Answer:
For Bagels = 1.33
For Donuts = -1.33
Explanation:
Using the midpoint method, Alex's percentage change in income is given by the difference in income divided by the average income:
Alex's percentage change in demand for both bagels and donuts is given by the difference in the quantity consumed divided by the average consumption:
Alex's income elasticity of demand for bagels and donuts, respectively, is:
His income elasticity of demand for bagels is 1.33, while for Donuts it is -1.33.
Answer:
Present value of the offer = $739,018.03
Explanation:
The cash flows described in the question from end of year 1 to end of year 20 represent a growing annuity for 20 years. The present value of a growing annuity is calculated as follows:
PV=
where P = the annuity payment in the first period
i = interest rate per period that would be compounded for each period
g = growth rate
n = number of payment periods
P in the 1st year = the base salary of $59,000 + the 10% bonus of $5,900 = $64,900; g is 3.9% ;i=0.1 and n = 20
Present value of the offer = 15,000 received immediately + PV of the growing annuity
= =739,018.03
