Answer:
d. .64.
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measure the responsiveness of demand against change in the price of given product. It measures the ratio of change in demand to change in price.
Change in demand = ( 2200 - 2000 ) / [ (2200+2000)/2 ] = 200 / 2100 = 0.0952
Change in price = ( 1.25 - 1.45 ) / [ (1.25+1.45)/2 ] = 0.2 / 1.35 = 0.148
Elasticity of Demand = Change in demand / change in price = 0.0952 / 0.148 = 0.643 = 0.64
Answer:
Risk and Return
1. Joe is an average investor. His financial advisor gave him options of investing in stock A, with a σ of 12%, and stock B, with a σ of 9%. Both stocks have the same expected return of 16%. Joe can pick only one stock and decides to invest in stock B.
Good Financial Decision?
Yes
No
2. Marcie works for an educational technology firm that recently launched its employee stock option plan (ESOP). Marcie allocated all her investments in the ESOP.
Good Financial Decision?
Yes
No
3. rin wants to invest in a hedge fund that has had a very strong performance track record. The hedge fund has given its investors a return of over 60% for the past five years. Although Erin is tempted to put her money in the fund, she decides to conduct due diligence on the hedge fund’s assets, because she is aware that past performance is no guarantee of future results.
Good Financial Decision?
Yes
No
Explanation:
1. Joe's decision to invest in stock B is a good financial decision. Since both investments have the same returns, the decision on which investment to take shifts to the standard deviation of the returns, which specifies the variability of the returns. Invariably, the investment with less standard deviation should win the vote. Therefore, Joe's decision is a good financial decision because investment in B has a standard deviation of 9% unlike A's 12%.
2. Putting all eggs in one market as Marcie had done by allocating all her investments in the ESOP is not a good financial decision, theoretically. It is always best to spread the risks, though higher-yielding investments (returns) bear higher risks.
3. The decision of Erin to conduct due diligence on the hedge fund's assets, despite its past performance is a good financial decision. Due diligence reveals some behind-the-scene information that are instrumental in making sound business decisions. Who are the present managers of the fund? What systems are in place in the entity to guarantee similar future performance, all things being equal? What market's sentiments and information are available for consideration? These questions, and many others can be answered through a due diligence. Surely, "past performance is no guarantee of future results."
Answer:
B. Income Tax Expenses
Explanation:
The Purpose of the Income Statement in Financial Statement Preparation is to ascertain the profit or loss of a business entity for a particular year. Usually, the format is as follows:
1. Gross Profit= Sales- Cost of Goods sold(Opening Inventory + Purchases- Closing Inventory)
2. Net Profit/ Net Loss = Gross Profit + Other Revenues and Gains - Expenses for the period.
However, income tax expense is only calculated when the net profit has been ascertained. It is usally referred to as net income before tax. It is based on this figure, that the income tax expense is then calculated based on prevailing income tax percentage.
Every other part of the income statement covers a section, but all sections should be calculated and concluded before the income tax expense can be calculated and then subtracted to arrive at the final income tax.
