Answer

Price elasticiy of demand for business travelers: -0.16

Price elasticity of demand for vacationers: -0.29

Explanation:

To find the price elasticy of demand (PED) using the midpoint method, we use the following formula:

$PED = \frac{(Q2-Q1)/[(Q2+Q1)/2]}{(P2-P1)/[(P2+P1/2]}$

Where Q2 and P2 are the new quantity demanded and new price respectively, and Q1 and P1 are the old quantity demanded and price.

Plugging the amounts into the formula we obtain the results of the answer.

Because both results are in absolute value less than one (0.16 and 0.29), we can say that the PED of tickets, for both vacationers and Business traveleres, is relatively inelastic. (Demand falls less in proportion to the change in price).

Yuri [45]

Answer: C. equal zero

Explanation:

The mean is average of the portfolio which means that some securities will be more than the mean and some will be less.

Some deviations will be positive, others will be negative.

When these deviations are added together, the negative deviations will cancel out the positive deviations which will lead to the average deviations being 0.

butalik [34]

Answer:

a. The variable cost per rental return is $4.04.

b. The monthly fixed cost Incurred to wash cars is $1,376.

Explanation:

Note: See the attached excel file for the calculations of Rental Returns (x), Car Wash Costs (y), xy, and x^2.

Since Σ = Total of or summation of, we can therefore obtain the following from the attached excel file:

Σx = 34,854

Σy = 157,317

Σxy = 462,541,971

Σx^2 = 102,623,516

N = Number of months = 12

a. calculation of variable cost per rental return

To calculate the variable cost per rental return, the following formula is used:

Variable cost per rental return = (NΣxy − ΣxΣy) /((NΣx²) − (Σx)²) ……………… (1)

Substituting the relevant values into equation (1), we have:

Variable cost per rental return = ((12 * 462,541,971) - (34,854 * 157,317)) / (((12 * 102,623,516) - 34,854^2)

Variable cost per rental return = 4.03917240317595

Rounding to 2 decimal places as required, we have:

Variable cost per rental return = $4.04

Therefore, the variable cost per rental return is $4.04.

b. Calculation of monthly fixed cost Incurred to wash cars

To calculate the monthly fixed cost Incurred to wash cars, the following formula is used:

Fixed Cost per month = {Σy - (Variable cost per rental return * Σx) / N ....... (2)

Substituting the relevant values into equation (2), we have:

Fixed Cost per month = (157,317 - (4.04 * 34,854)) / 12

Fixed Cost per month = $1,375.57

Rounding to the nearest whole dollar amount as required, we have:

Fixed Cost per month = $1,376

Therefore, the monthly fixed cost Incurred to wash cars is $1,376.

Explanation:

Newham Corporation

Break Even Sales = Fixed Expenses/ 1- (Variable Expenses/ Sales)

We combined the Break Even Sales by adding the sales of the two products and the variable expenses of the two products.

Break Even Sales =$46,060/1-($10,780+$18,470/$31,000+ $44,000)

Break Even Sales =$46,060/1-(29250/75,000)

Break Even Sales =$46,060/ 1-0.39

Break Even Sales =$46,060/ 0.61

Break Even Sales = $75,508.19
