Answer:
A.- DECREASE
B.- DECREASE
C.- INCREASE
D.- INCREASE
E.- INCREASE
Explanation:
a. The discount rate increases
DECREASE the discoutn factors will be higher therefore, the present values lower.
b. The cash flows are in the form of a deferred annuity, and the total to $100,000. You learn that the annuity lasts for 10 years rather than 5 years, hence that each payment is for $10,000 rather than for $20,000
DECREASE Because the cashflow is generate on a longer period there is more exposure to discount rates.
c. The discount rate decreases
INCREASE The discount factor are lower. This situation is the opposite as (a)
d. The riskiness of the investment's cash flows <u>decreases</u>
INCREASE a lower risk derivates in lower cost of capital thus, lower iscount rates. This increase the present value of the cashflow.
e. The total amount of cash flows remains the same, but more of the cash flows are received in the earlier years and less are received in the later years.
INCREASE as most of the future cash flows are at the beginning they have less exposure to time value of money.
Answer:
Sales contest.
Explanation:
In this scenario, every monday during the month of December, salespeople who had the highest sales the previous week participated in a package surprise, where each would receive a package containing either a $50 or a $100 bill. This short-term incentive is known as a sales contest.
A sales contest can be defined as a short-term incentive program developed or created by a business entity to motivate its sales personnels in order to achieve specific sales objectives and targets.
<em>Basically, it is mainly competitive so as to motivate and stimulate salespeople to meet set objectives, goals and targets by duly rewarding with prizes. </em>
Answer:
RELATIVELY INELASTIC
more elastic
less
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.
Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one
Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded
If demand is relatively inelastic and price increases, there would be little or no change in the quantity demanded and as a result, total revenue would increase
If demand were elastic and prices were increased, quantity demanded would fall more than the increase in price. As a result, total revenue would fall
In the long run, people have more time to search for suitable alternatives. Thus, demand tends to be more elastic in the long run
If the long run, price is increased, the total quantity demanded would fall and revenue would fall
Answer: True
Explanation:
Marginal externality is constant. However, it may not be calculated with accuracy. Hence, there's need for estimates at reasonable levels.
Hence, the policymaker's estimate of $35/ unit is reasonable and within the acceptable range of between $10 and $50/unit. Also, the tax charge raises social welfare compared to no tax at all.
