swat32

Answer:

Operating cash flow= $29,886

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales= $262,100

Total variable cost= $144,000

Total fixed costs= $61,300.

Annual interest expense of $24,500. The annual depreciation is $25,200 and the tax rate is 34 percent.

We need to determine the operating cash flow:

Sales= 262,100

Total variable cost= (144,000)

Contribution margin= 118,100

Total fixed costs= (61,300)

Depreciation= (25,200)

Interest= (24,500)

EBIT= 7,100

Tax= (7,100*0.34)= (2,414)

Depreciation= 25,200

tangare [24]

Answer:

The price elasticity of demand for the students is:

inelastic.

Explanation:

The price elasticity of demand for the students is inelastic because there is no change in the quantity demanded by students that changes the price at which pizza is sold to the students. If one student buys the pizza, the price charged remains $10 and if 1,000 students buy the pizza, the price remains $10 per unit. Therefore, students' demand for the pizza is said to be static irrespective of price because the price is fixed.
