Answer:
O'Hara Marine Co.
Depreciation Expense is:
$13,903
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
sales = $75,500;
costs = $35,200;
addition to retained earnings = $9,580;
dividends paid = $8,420;
interest expense = $2,620;
tax rate = 23 percent
Net Income:
addition to retained earnings = $9,580;
dividends paid = $8,420
Total net income = $18,000
Pre-tax Income = $18,000/0.77 = $23,377
Income tax (23%) of $23,377 = $5,377
After Tax Income = $18,000 ($23,377 - 5,377)
Depreciation:
sales = $75,500
costs = $35,200
Gross profit = $40,300
Less interest (2,620)
Less net income (23,777)
Depreciation = $13,903
The answer would be that there are few other places to purchase soda on campus; competition (or lack thereof) can play a big factor in determining price elasticity.
While nutrition information can shift consumers' preferences, we have no indication within the question of whether or not the students are well-informed of the impact of their drinking choices.
As for the third option, we are not given any information on the students' budgets, and no information with which to infer this, either. We only have information on their spending as it is related to soda, not as compared to other purchases.
Finally, given that the quantity sold does not change much despite the change in price, we can conclude that this price curve is relatively inelastic, in which case the price elasticity of demand would be closer to zero than one. This effectively rules out the last answer.
