Answer:

Option (a) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial Quantity supplied = 10,000

New quantity supplied = 15,000

Initial price = $5

Price elasticity of demand = 1.8

Percentage change in quantity supplied:

= [(New quantity supplied - Initial Quantity supplied) ÷ Initial Quantity supplied] × 100

= [(15,000 - 10,000) ÷ 10,000] × 100

= (5,000 ÷ 10,000) × 100

= 50%

Let the new price be x,

Percentage change in price:

= [(New price - Initial price) ÷ Initial price] × 100

= [(x - $5) ÷ $5] × 100

= (x - 5) × 20

= 20x - 100

Therefore,

Price elasticity of demand = Percentage change in quantity supplied ÷ Percentage change in price

1.8 = 50 ÷ (20x - 100)

1.8 (20x - 100) = 50

36x - 180 = 50

36x = 230

x = 5

Hence, the new price per pound of walnuts is $5.

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

$6618 annual payment

Explanation:

Employer's annual contribution = $1500 until trust fund distribution

trust fund distribution = $25000

years to trust fund distribution = 20 years

To calculate the amount she must deposit to make up the amount ( future required amount ) she will pay the difference between the required value and the contribution from her employer + trust fund distribution

future value = 1500 FVIFA(8%,30) + 2500 FVIFA( 8%,10)

                      = 169924( 1500*113.28) + 53973 = 223897

therefore the required total of what she should deposit = 973633 - 223897 = 749735

the amount she must deposit annually is calculated as

749735 ( total payment ) = annuity * FVIFA(8%,30 )

ANNUITY =  749735 / 113.28

                = $6618

NOTE : FVIFA (8%,30) and FVIFA( 8%,10) values are gotten from the FVIFA table

Answer:

Find explanations below:

Explanation:

It must be understood that cash flow does not necessarily imply profit or loss.

A company may have been experiencing positive cash flows due selling mostly on a cash basis,  whereas the price charged is lower than cost of per unit,hence it would have high amount of cash, whereas the bottom-line is nothing to write home about.

The cash paid on retirement which is $411,000 would impact financing activities as an outflow.

The $3000 unamortized discount would be deducted from net income
