Answer:
e. price elasticities of demand for apples and oranges are the same over these price ranges
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price.
Price elasticity = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
Percentage change in price = (50-40) / 50 = 0.2 × 100 = 20%
Percentage change in quantity demanded of Apples = (120 - 100) / 100 = 0.2 × 100 =
20%
Percentage change in quantity demanded of oranges = (240 - 200) / 200 = 0.2 × 100 = 20%
Price elasticity of demand for oranges = 20% / 20% = 1
Price elasticity of demand for Apples = 20% / 20% = 1
When coefficient of elasticity is equal than one, elasticity of demand is unit elastic.
This implies that the elasticity of demand for Apples and oranges are the same. A change in the price of oranges and apples would lead to the same proportional change for each of the demand for Apples and oranges.

Answer:
$160,000
Explanation:
The computation of budgeted cash payments in June is shown below:-
For computing the budgeted cash payments in June first we need to find out the may credit sales and June cash sales.
May credit Sales = May = $250,000 × 40% × 100%
= $100,000
and
June cash sales = $100,000 × 60%
= $60,000
Cash collection budgeted June = May credit Sales + June cash sales
= $100,000 + $60,000
= $160,000
Answer:
Letter A is correct. <u>Fostering competition.</u>
Explanation:
In this case, it is correct to say that small businesses are fostering competition.
Competition in the business world can be defined as a situation where two or more companies that supply products are rivals in the quest to conquer the same market and the same customers.
Large companies often have some dominance and influence over the market, which means that they impose various barriers to market entry by other competing companies, especially if they are micro-companies. In the case of the above question, when there are a large number of small companies looking to establish themselves in a specific niche in the market, due to possible retaliation by large companies, together, they are exerting an influence on the market that promotes competition.
Answer:
The amount that you should have saved in your retirement account to receive this income is:
= $727,995.88.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Expected lifespan = 24 years
Expected annual income = $75,000
Interest rate per year = 9%
The amount of savings in the retirement account to receive this income is calculated from an online financial calculator as follows:
N (# of periods) 24
I/Y (Interest per year) 9
PMT (Periodic Payment) 75000
FV (Future Value) 0
Results
PV = $727,995.88
Sum of all periodic payments = $1,800,000.00
Total Interest = $1,072,004.12
Answer:
Monthly deposit= $485.93
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
You want to retire exactly 35 years from today with $2,020,000 in your retirement account.
interest rate= 10.35 percent compounded monthly
First, we need to calculate the monthly interest rate.
Monthly interest rate= 0.1035/12= 0.008625
Now, using the following formula we can calculate the monthly deposit:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= monthly deposit
Isolating A:
A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}
n= 35*12= 420
A= (2,020,000*0.008625) / [(1.008625^420)-1]
A= $485.93
