The Poison Apple Diner had an average dinner cover charge of $8.75 during the month of September, when 3,000 atrons were served.

Queen Grimhilde, the owner/manager, increased the dinner menu prices by an average of $.50 per item. During the first 30 days of October, 2,900 patrons were served dinner, and the average cover charge was $9.25. Compute the price elasticity of demand.

Answer:

0.583

Explanation:

Data provided in the question;

Average dinner charges = $8.75

Initial demand = 3,000 atrons

Increase in price = $0.50

Final demand = 2,900

Thus,

change in demand = 3,000 - 2,900 = 100

Now,

The price elasticity of demand = $\frac{\textup{Percentage change in demand}}{\textup{Percentage change in price}}$

also,

Percentage change in demand = $\frac{\textup{Change in demand}}{\textup{Initial demand}}\times100\%$

= $\frac{\textup{100}}{\textup{3000}}\times100\%$

= 3.33%

Percentage change in price = $\frac{\textup{Change in price}}{\textup{Initial price}}\times100\%$

= $\frac{\textup{0.50}}{\textup{8.75}}\times100\%$

= 5.714

thus,

The price elasticity of demand = $\frac{\textup{3.33}\%}{\textup{5.714}\%}$

= 0.583

A firm is reviewing an investment opportunity that requires an initial cash outlay of $336,875 and promises to return the follow

Fofino [41]

Answer:

The NPV of this investment is $64,581.75

Explanation:

Hi, we need to discount to present value all the future cash flows, the formula to use is as follows:

$NPV=-Investment+\frac{CF1}{(1+r)^{1} }+\frac{CF2}{(1+r)^{2}} +\frac{CF3}{(1+r)^{3}} +\frac{CF4}{(1+r)^{4}} +\frac{CF5}{(1+r)^{5}}$

Where

NPV = Net Present Value

CF = The cash flow stated in the problem by year

r= discount rate (in our case, 0.08 or 8%)

Now, let´s solve this.

$NPV=-336,875+\frac{100,000}{(1+0.08)^{1} }+\frac{82,000}{(1+0.08)^{2}} +\frac{76,000}{(1+0.08)^{3}} +\frac{111,000}{(1+0.08)^{4}} +\frac{142,000}{(1+0.08)^{5}}$

$NPV=-336,875+ 92,592.59 + 70,301.78 + 60,331.25 + 81,588.31+96,642.81$

$NPV=64,581.75$

So, the net present value of this project is $64,581.75

Best of luck.

b) The company should accept the special order, as it will increase its profit by $2,208

Explanation:

<em>The relevant costs for decision to accept the special order are </em>

<em>I Incremental Revenue from the special order </em>

<em>2. incremental variable cost </em>

<em>3. The cost of the special tool</em>

Unit variable cost = 143 + 90 + 8 + 7 = $240

<em>Note that that the increase in material cost of $8 and the variable manufacturing overhead of $7 are relevant to the special order decision. Hence they are added.</em>

<em>And the balance of manufacturing overhead would be incurred either way. Therefore , they are not relevant for the decision</em>

$

Sales revenue from special order

Variable cost of special order

(22× $240 ) (5280 )

Cost of special tool <u> (454)</u>
