Answer:

b. greater than 0.38

Explanation:

Elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price.

If the absolute value of elasticity of demand is less than one, it means demand is inelastic.

Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded.

If the absolute value of elasticity of demand is greater than one, it means demand is elastic.

Demand is elastic if a small change in price has a greater effect on the quantity demanded.

In the short run, demand is usually inelastic because consumers have a short time to find suitable alternatives.

But in the long run demand becomes more elastic because consumers would have more time to find suitable alternatives.

So, in the long run the absolute value of elasticity of demand would be greater than 0.38. this indicates that demand is more elastic than in the short run.

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

the present value of the future cash flows is the the value of the bond we calculate the present value as follows

Cash flow  4% = 40000 per year for 4 year p.v using annuity

Cash flow = 1000000 at year four present value using compound formula

Present value at yield rate 7.7%

Cash flow Discount Factor Present Value

1000000 0.743253883           743253.8831

40000         3.334365155           133374.6062

                                            876628.4893

Compound = 1000000/(1+7.7%)^4

Annuity       = 40000*  (1-(1+7.7%)^-4) / 7.7%

svp [43]

Answer:

$135 Unfavorable

Explanation:

The computation of total variance is shown below:-

For computing the total variance first we need to find out the actual price which is below:-

Actual price = Total cost ÷ Actual quantity

= $18,135 ÷ 3,100

= $5.85 pound

Now,

Total variance = Standard quantity × Standard price - Actual quantity × Actual price

= (($2,000 × 1.5) × $6) - 3,100 × $5.85

= 3,000 × $6 - 3,100 × $5.85

= $18,000 - $18135

= $135 Unfavorable.

Lamey Co. has an unlevered cost of capital of 10.9 percent, a tax rate of 35 percent, and expected earnings before interest and
mart [117]

Answer:

cost of equity is 11.60 %

Explanation:

Given data

cost of capital = 10.9 percent

tax rate = 35 percent

earnings = $21,800

bonds outstanding = $25,000

rate = 6 %

to find out

cost of equity

solution

we will find first value of unlevered

value of  unlevered  = earning ( 1 - tax rate ) / cost of capital

value of  unlevered  = 21800 ( 1 - 0.35 ) / 0.109 = $130000

so

value of  unlevered will be for firm = 130000 × bond outstanding × tax rate

value of  unlevered will be for firm = 130000 × 25000 × 35%

value of  unlevered will be for firm = $138750

so value of firm will be = bond outstanding + equity

so equity will be = 138750 - 25000

equity = $113750

so now

cost of equity will be = cost of capital + ( cost of capital - rate) (bonds / equity ) ( 1 - tax rate )

cost of equity will be = 10.9%+ ( 10.9 % - 6%) (25000 / 113750 ) ( 1-0.35)

so cost of equity = 11.60 %
